Dec 19, 2013 >> G&F’s For Reals Meal + Cocktail Recipe

We’re right smack dab in our Holiday Entertaining Issue (see our big DIY collab with The Cakegirls here) and it may just be our favorite issue of the year. And for sure, G&F creative director thinks so. To (continue to) kick off the season, D. Graham Kostic threw a fab fete for One Part Plant’s monthly series For Reals Meals. The goal? Invite some creative-minded folks over and cook a plant-based meal for them. Oh, and style the heck out of it, too.

The menu was simple featuring a shaved brussel sprout and apple salad (and you can grab the totally delicious recipe on One Part Plant). And a veggie-overload shepherd’s pie. We finished off the meal with a strawberry and coconut cream parfait topped with a special treat from OPP’s Jessica Murnane. Enough talking on our site, take a peek at the full experience here. 

how to make D. Graham Kostic’s
LAVENDER + RASPBERRY BELLINI COCKTAIL 

Start with a beautiful sparkling wine glass (we got ours at Crate & Barrel).
Pour a small amount of Black Cherry Juice into the glass.
Fill the rest with Prosecco. Add raspberries and a few sprigs of lavender to float.
We finished off the look with Kate Spade’s Wine Tag Set—a perfect way to announce the order of a gift exchange!
Cheers!
