🍷 Entertaining

The Apero Is Not Dinner

An apero has a beginning and an end, usually 18h to 20h, and it does not become a meal. Guests know they are leaving to eat elsewhere, which is precisely what makes the invitation easy to accept.

Invite people for a drink between six and eight this week and say the end time in the invitation. Serve olives, radishes and crisps. Do not cook.
