Sting's garden party!
By Celebrity Chef Eric Ienco
This month I want to talk about garden parties, and no one throws them
quite like Sting and Trudy.
I remember my first garden party. I knew it was going to be a fabulous day.
Sting and Trudy had invited lots of their friends. Guy Ritchie, Matthew Vorn,
Lord and Lady Chichester just to name a few.
Now lunch was set for around 1.30 and I had lots to do. I set up a very long
tresal table under the most amazing tree in Sting's back yard. ( Well it
was more like setting up in a park) Sting has a very beautiful property in
Wiltshire.
I set up the table with the most beutiful table cloth you could find with
versace plates and glasses and silver cutlery.
For drinks we served pimms and lemonade, now I wanted this to be fabulous so
I bought some eatable flowers and made ice cubes out of them.(Now its very
important to add some glamour to any garden party).
The lunch was amazing with grilled sardines, roasted leg of lamb, spring vegys
and many more all washed down with pimms and lemonade and lots of wine.
Now on that day Sting had a little too many pims and lemonade and my x-wife went to top up his
glass when he joked with Anna (my x-wife) and said "no more! If I have another I
will collapse". Anna then responded "its ok I could give you the kiss of life". To which
Sting said "let's wait till your husband's not around". Lol
