Clap eyes on the most enchanting al fresco feasts from all around the world.
The human ability to seek and find the universal – those threads that run through and connect all of our lives – will always be our saving grace. And nowhere does that commonality manifest so reliably as in the food that we eat; breaking bread is, after all, at once a necessity and a great joy. Cooking and sharing food with friends or strangers are acts of generosity that instantly bring us closer; and no matter how far we are from home, mealtimes can dually bring both the comfort of familiarity and the prompt to try something new and embark on an adventure in food.
It is for this reason – as well as for its sheer beauty – that we adore @oursecretsupper’s grid. Travelling to far-flung destinations to feast outdoors is its raison d'être, all the while actively seeking culinary experiences to expand the palette and the mind.
As the people behind it explain, ‘Secret Supper began with a dream to bring people together around a table filled with earthy food, great wine, and endless conversation. Through these experiences, we’ve found our passion to inspire intentional living.’
What we are drawn inexorably to are the outdoor locations of Secret Supper’s now legendary spreads – which are invariably of impossible beauty – as well as their uncanny ability to lay a table and create an atmosphere that we ache to be a part of.
These are not staged images of people having a good time; these are folk palpably revelling in hearty generous repasts in great company, sprinkled liberally with great conversations. Frankly, we want in (though the organisers may wish to be forewarned that if we ever get our wish, we may be singularly hard to shake off again. Don’t say we didn’t warn you).
@Oursecretsupper, for the dreamiest of images that have sparked innumerable daytime reveries of a post pandemic world and for the reminder of the pre pandemic convivial one we inhabited until not so long ago: you’re our hero.
