Now that work and school are officially in full swing, one might think that summer is over, but we still have loads of weekends ahead to soak up the sun, enjoy good food, and catch up with friends. The alarm clocks may be back, but the flip-flops don’t have to be packed away just yet.
And nothing says “I’m squeezing every drop out of summer” quite like brunch.
Lazy mornings, sunny tables, fresh flavours, and laughter that lasts longer than the coffee… brunch is less of a meal and more of a weekend personality. It’s breakfast for people who don’t want to commit to breakfast, lunch for those who believe 11 am is still technically “morning,” and the only time it’s socially acceptable to debate pancakes versus eggs for 20 minutes.
Looking for a showstopper? Try this: Orange Blossom French Toast with Cinnamon Sugar Peaches with Robertson Winery Mimosa. Soft, fragrant, lightly sweet, and gloriously indulgent, it’s the kind of dish that turns a simple gathering into a “please send me that recipe” moment. Top with a dusting of cinnamon, or a drizzle of honey for that extra sunny touch. Pair with your favourite juice, sparkling water, or a chilled glass of Robertson Winery Mimosa to complete the experience.
Easy ways to up your brunch game (without stressing):
- Keep it simple: One hero dish beats ten complicated ones.
- Invite wisely: Brunch calories don’t count when shared with good company.
- Set the mood: A bright table, chilled playlist, and relaxed vibe do half the work.
- Add a playful touch: DIY topping bars, smoothie shots, or a “build-your-own” mimosa corner.
- Take it outside: Sunshine is the ultimate side dish.
With two months of summer still on our side, brunch is the perfect excuse to slow down, gather your favourite people, and pretend Monday is a distant rumour. So, dust off the skillet, pour something bubbly, and make the most of every sun-filled weekend while you can.
A bit of brunch history: The concept of brunch actually started in England in the late 1800s as a cheerful weekend alternative to the traditional heavy Sunday breakfast. Something lighter, more social, and perfectly timed for those who liked to sleep in. Today, brunch has evolved into a global celebration of good food, long conversations, and the joy of taking your time.
