Looking for a sweet way to show your partner how much you love them? How about treating them to a traditional breakfast in bed – a lovely start to a weekend or holiday morning, which will make your lucky other half feel good all day!
Making breakfast in bed for someone involves a little extra planning to ensure that everything turns out the way you want it. Do all your shopping for ingredients beforehand, make the bed with your nicest bedding set the night before and unplug/switch off your phones for an undisturbed and peaceful morning.
What To Serve?
* There are literally hundreds of different options of what to serve for a breakfast in bed, although generally people prefer dishes which are easy to eat and not too messy! You should also consider the likes and dislikes of the person you are cooking for, as well as allergies/dietary needs.
* A good route to go is to pick a theme – for example, a French breakfast with croissants, milky coffee and fruit, or go for the traditional luxury of scrambled eggs with smoked salmon, served with a glass of nicely chilled Buck's Fizz on a celebratory occasion.
* Try not to use any recipes which you are unsure of and not had time to practice, or you'll end up getting flustered!
* Buy good quality ingredients – freshly ground coffee and leaf tea both taste much better than their pre-packed equivalents and will make for an exceptional breakfast in bed. Just squeezed orange juice is another good option, and your beloved's smile with make that extra effort worthwhile.
Those Little Extras
* If at all possible, serve the breakfast on a lap-tray or small table which can be positioned over the bed, which helps to avoids spills and makes it easier to relax and enjoy the luxurious meal.
* Use your most attractive china, glassware and cutlery to serve your dishes. To give the glass and cutlery, a sparkling diamond gleam, dip into very hot water, to which you've added a dash of lemon juice, then polish with a dry cloth.
* A crisply folded newspaper is a nice little extra, as it a single flower blossom on the tray.
* You might like to plug in a radio, or play your favourite CD to add a romantic and relaxed vibe.
