Enjoying summer to the full: cooking and living like they do in the Mediterranean

Mediterranean cuisine is about more than just a particular way of eating. As well as fresh ingredients, convivial gatherings around the table, hospitality and lavish meals with friends, family and new acquaintances are typical of the Mediterranean region. The realisation that mealtimes are a time for togetherness is essential to authentic Mediterranean dining. So invite your loved ones round and spend an unforgettable time together over a good meal.

Although many people think of Mediterranean cuisine as simply a shared dinner, you can turn any meal into a brief taste of the Mediterranean with the right dishes.

  • Breakfast: A small coffee, fresh fruit, yoghurt with honey, crusty bread with olive oil and tomatoes – this is how you start the day as if you were on holiday. Served on Mediterranean-style breakfast plates and bowls, even the first meal of the day becomes a special experience.
  • Lunch: With plenty of fresh vegetables, pan-fried fish and a light salad or a small soup as a starter, you can enjoy the perfect Mediterranean lunch. You can present these healthy dishes particularly attractively on colourful, Mediterranean-style tableware. And, of course, an espresso served in a matching cup is a must.
  • Dinner: Whether you’re serving a delicious pasta dish or small tapas to share – presented on summery plates and serving platters – your culinary creations will delight at first glance, not just at the first bite.

How to bring a touch of Mediterranean flair to your table

Bright sunshine, sprawling olive groves, golden sandy beaches and the blue sea – these are all things we associate with the Mediterranean. With the right tableware, matching decorations and floral touches, you can bring this atmosphere into your home and straight onto your table.

With these simple tips, you can delight your guests with an evening just like on the Mediterranean:

  • Warm colours: It is not only the summery temperatures but also the warm camaraderie of the Mediterranean way of life that can be perfectly reflected in warm shades. In contrast to rich blues, which are reminiscent of the sea and the cloudless sky, warm yellows, deep reds and vibrant oranges, for example, stand out particularly well as complementary colours.
  • Inspiration from nature: Olives, vine leaves, lemons, lavender – Mediterranean nature offers a wealth of motifs that look wonderful on plates, tablecloths or napkins. For an even more authentic look, you can showcase fresh lavender in matching vases on your table or use olive branches as decoration.
  • Natural materials: Combine your Mediterranean tableware with linen napkins or tablecloths, wooden cutlery, wicker baskets or fresh herbs as table decorations. This creates a harmonious overall look that transports you in your mind’s eye to Provence or Lake Garda.

The Mediterranean atmosphere really comes into its own when you enjoy your meals outdoors. Simply move your table decorations out onto the terrace or balcony. Alternatively, you can also savour that holiday feeling whilst having a picnic.

Mediterranean tableware collections from Hutschenreuther

With the Maria Theresia Medley collection, Hutschenreuther offers two distinct Mediterranean-style tableware designs. From classic country house style to colourful olive motifs – Medley brings a summery zest for life to your table.

Mediterranean tableware in country house style: Hutschenreuther Medley Mantova

The Mediterranean tableware from the Medley collection combines the timeless design language of classic Maria Theresia porcelain with a understated Mediterranean design. The combination of the delicate shade of yellow with the rich blue on the rim of the Mantova design is reminiscent of the beautiful backdrop of the city of Mantua in the Italian region of Lombardy. Just like the picturesque city surrounded by lakes, the porcelain in the Mantova design is framed by a shade of blue. The understated yet elegant Mediterranean country-style tableware pays homage to the architectural beauty of Mantua. Just like the city’s Ducal Palace, the colourful décor is a real eye-catcher on your table.

The Mediterranean colour scheme of the Mantova design is completed by the characteristic green-and-white garland, which features on all the plates, cups, bowls and sugar bowls in this collection. The combination of gleaming white porcelain with yellow, blue and green colour accents really brings out the best in the Mediterranean design: timeless and playful, stylish and warm.

Mediterranean tableware with olives: Hutschenreuther Medley Valdemossa

The highlight of the Medley collection is the distinctive Valdemossa design. Instead of the bold blue shade found in Medley Mantova, the focus here is on playful olive branches that adorn the centre of the plate. Deep blue olives with green leaves and twigs adorn the yellow rim and stand out clearly against the background – just like a real olive branch in the Mediterranean sunshine. The playful design on the plate’s rim is complemented by a delicate olive branch in the centre of the plate. Set against the immaculate white porcelain, the rich colours really come into their own and are a real eye-catcher. Inspired by the unique landscape of the Mallorcan mountain village of Valldemossa, this design transports you straight to one of Spain’s most beautiful places.

Hutschenreuther offers breakfast plates, dinner plates and soup plates in this special design, so you can enjoy every meal on Mediterranean tableware featuring an olive motif. The olive-themed tableware is ideal for serving Mediterranean dishes and brings the light-heartedness of the Mediterranean lifestyle straight to your table.
