Be my valentine, with Breakfast in bed, please.
Breakfast has to be our very favourite meal of the day. It’s not just about the creation of a tasty menu designed to delight, it’s about gifting yourself and a loved one your time.
Time has become more precious and if the pandemic has taught us anything, and for sure it’s teaching us a great deal, the lessons learnt are to divide our time wisely and treat it like gold. It’s best spent with those we love, doing what makes us feel good, and in our case, it’s a slow, well thought out breakfast, filled with all of your favourites!
There is something rather pleasing about a breakfast that’s beautifully presented.
We have always taken our Sunday morning breakfasts seriously, and if you’re anything like us, you do too. We like to make an effort and set the table (I have even been known to light a few candles too!). Don’t think of it as being too fancy, think of me, just loving to create a comforting atmosphere.
It’s all about creating a relaxing vibe, and if we can contribute to your vibes with our new Breakfast in Bed Box, we’d be totally over the moon. I like to get out treasured vessels for jams, slice up the butter ad find the perfect dish. Fold napkins on the side, pick out cute plates and of course the legendary Opinel butter spreader. May I say “no home should be without one of these if you love your breakfast toast!” A butter spreading knife that’s no gimmick, it’s a game changer. Trust me, you need one in your life!
We like to make mealtime out of breakfast, making it an occasion to be treasured.
Use it as an opportunity to slow down, after all it’s the most important meal of the day, setting you up for the adventures ahead, even if those adventures are currently not too far. It’s all about a more hygge life, nourishing yourself with good ingredients; the type of food that loves your body back #happyfood. Breakfast time matters, and it shouldn’t be rushed, or contain anything that doesn’t contribute to the whole of you not just your appetite.
We don’t mind confessing that Brunch was created not from the need to eat at a later time of day. The motive was far more magical; it’s an opportunity to have a pre-breakfast breakfast. Then a few hours later repeat with a more eggy style breakfast on repeat. Love what you eat!
The concept of a great breakfast created a whole brunch eating out culture. Now your mission should be to enhance how you create the same level of magic at home with all of your favourites, and we are hoping that your fave includes our sourdough offering.
Are you feeling romantic? It’s been a tough year. We have lived in a world of compromise, let’s not compromise love too. If you’re looking for the ultimate “I love you” gesture, but a trip to Paris is off the agenda right now, why not consider our Breakfast in bed parcel? Let us provide your valentines Breakfast gift. We will help you spread a little love.
So folks, whether you do or don’t do the whole Valentines thing; do a great breakfast. The style of breakfast that creates a big, beaming smile.
Happy Valentines! Catherine xx
