Preparations for Sunday Brunch 2025

1. Prepare the ‘Phantom Bearlings’. You can prepare them a few days in advance and freeze them (after cooling). Thaw them in the refrigerator.
2. Prepare ‘Cousin Herb’ a day ahead and store it in a closed container in the refrigerator.
3. On the day:
   1. Prepare the ‘Winter Transition Salad’ and refridgerate
   2. Bake the ‘Sunday Buns’ and set them aside to cool
   3. Prepare the ‘Clock in A-Flat’ pancakes and set them aside. You can reheat them gently in the oven (at 50 °C) before serving.
   4. Prepare the soufflés. These can also be warmed slightly in the oven (at 50°C) before serving.
   5. 1 ½ hours before the start of the buffet:
      1. Set the table with cutlery
      2. Prepare the ‘Coco Oat Basic Yog Cream’ and the fruit salad and store both in closed containers in the refrigerator or a cool place.
      3. Cut any fresh additions to the buffet and prepare decorative/ornamental arrangements (such as a cheese platter).
      4. Change into the cloth you want to wear for the occasion 😉
      5. Just before you want to start:
         • Get everyone to help you arrange everything on the buffet.
         • Heat up pancakes, soufflés and rolls.
         • Check the refrigerator for forgotten ‘participants’ (for example, ‘Cousin Herb’ always tries to hide in a corner somewhere).
         • Have fun!

Side Notes:

1. As always, the most important ingredients to a great brunch are the guests and the people you share it with. Never mind if one of the recipes is not perfect. Just try new combinations. 😉
2. Just make 2 recipes of ‘Phantom Bearlings’. You can freeze the rest. Defrost in the fridge and reheat in a pan or even in the microwave (after defrosting).
