On the Fourth of July, we love inviting friends from far and wide to our backyard for a delicious celebration. When dusk falls, we’ll head to the local high school for patriotic music and fireworks.
Before the pyrotechnics, we’ll make some of our own by lighting the grill. The afternoon begins with an array of foods that represent our recent international favorites. For example, our party might start with skewered olives, peppers, and anchovies (known as Gildas) from our travels to Spain, alongside red wine mixed with lemonade. Roasted peppers with garlic and fresh herbs, from a fall trip to Provence, make a beautiful side dish to anything off the grill.
