Partnering with the talented Donna Hay who shares her styling advice as well as a perfectly curated menu created using her Miele appliances that will elevate your summer dining experience. “It’s an absolute joy to entertain and create with this level of precision at your fingertips” - Donna Hay
Setting the scene
Donna shares her trusted trick of using a table terrace to instantly add height and dimension to her summer soiree table. She sets the scene with a neutral colour palate and soft textures with fresh garden herbs to create a delicate scent, adding to the wonderful, relaxed ambience.
Kick off the celebrations with these delicious starters
Donna welcomes guests with a signature drink upon arrival. Her choice – a zesty and refreshing Lemongrass and lime cooler. The drink is accompanied by Fig and Walnut Ficelles that can easily be prepared ahead of time thanks to the automatic proviing function which runs at a delicate 40°C in her Miele oven.
Fennel and Freekeh Salad
Donna looks to the ease and convenience of her Miele combi steam oven to prepare the freekeh. Simply setting the temperature and cooking duration allows for hands free cooking so she can concentrate on other elements. The ancient grain is infused with fragrant lemon peel, thyme and fresh garlic, for a delicious twist.
Caramelised Lemongrass and Herb Salmon
Create meaningful moments with your guests with Donna’s vibrant salmon, the perfect centrepiece for your summer occasion. The salmon is buttery soft with a textural crunch made possible thanks to the combi grill functionality. The sticky, savoury sauce and fragrant crunchy toppings will have you coming back for seconds!
Coconut and Lime Layer Cake with Whipped Meringue Frosting
Donna places the finishing touch on her soiree with this luscious dessert, creating cloud-like meringue frosting with her controlled induction cooktop. The layer cake is topped with delicate dried pineapple, created using the built-in drying function at 70°C on the Miele oven. The perfect finale to your summer soiree.
