Cocktails at Mine (Prep)

Over the weekend I had a few friends over for a relaxed cocktails and food session. Since I was cooking for 20+ and was not planning in being in a fit state to cook at 7 after a 2pm start I planned everything in advance.

The plan was to do lots of little canapes throughout the day to balance people's alcohol levels and then just hearty burgers with tomatoes and chutney, a simple salad, and wedges in the evening. Then lemon tart, white chocolate and berry tart and a chocolate cake for dessert.

The burgers follow Jamie Oliver's recipe for Botham Burgers, but added more seeds and spices than it recommends, and the recipe makes way more than he suggests.

Simply formed into patties and kept in the fridge ready for the BBQ!
