Cooking two perfection

B.C, provides perfect
settings for a garden
wedding or reception,
whether you decide to
hold it in the fall,
spring or summer.

If the weather doesn’t
cooperate, be prepared with
one of the wonderful rental
awnings and canopies avail-
able.

A buffet supper or lunch
served under an awning or
on a veranda, whether for a

- big crowd or just the family,
can be quite simple but seem
very sophisticated because of

the beauty of the site.

If it’s in a shoulder season
and the weather is a bit cool-
er than ideal, think of cre-
ative ways to warm the gar-
den, or create warm spots
people can gravitate to fora
while, like a portable fire pit
or 2 propane appliance.

An outdoors or patio fire-
place would be ideal, but not
evervone has such a creature

If the garden has a
glimpse of the ocean or
mountains, or a pastoral view
of green forest, so much the
better.

If it’s to be a big affair,
planning must begin early to
ensure all the plans can be
carried out withour a hitch.

Such an affair lends itself

. well to involving other mem-

bers of the family, and even
both families in preparations,
so there’s a wonderful variety
of foods available and ali
share the magic of the occa-
sion as participants rather

‘than mere spectators.
