You do not need to have trained in culinary arts in order to provide party guests with tasty and attractive food. Every party specialist will state that guaranteeing the gastronomic gratification of one's guests does not have to be a costly experience; you won't need to serve foie gras or caviar on sliced baguette to give your party menu a bit more panache. Jazzing up the familiar selections for finger food can easily give your menu the class it requires.
Always remember that presentation is essential. A minor tweaking of favourite bite-sized edibles can wholly alter the dining experience of the guests and they'll not even notice that you dished up the exact same spread from the previous party you had. The breadsticks drizzled with garlic-rosemary olive oil that everyone just raved about may easily change into black and white pretzels; dip one end in chocolate sauce and the other end in sugar water and a combination of rock salt and sugar crystals. This easy change gives a completely different appeal to the breadsticks; rather than being a savoury munch-able, they become a salty-sweet treat that both children and grown ups will like.
Another popular finger food most people offer at parties is cheese. An array of cheeses can run you high budget-wise. The issue with them is when you have got numerous company, it’s not likely that each of them will get a chance to enjoy all of the cheeses. One method of making certain most of your company, if not all, can get the taste of the special cheeses you have is by creating fondue-bites. You may use a cheap and not too tasty cheese for a base for the fondue, add a strongly-flavoured cheese, dip baguette cubes, put them aside and heat in a toaster or a microwave oven before serving. Doing this straight away stretches the cheese selection for more people to savour and you may even put a little garnish for more colour.
It’s not difficult to be imaginative with finger food. You can employ quite humble ingredients and finish with something extremely high-class. And the even nicer thing about finger food is it gives you the opportunity to break out dining accessories that generally are not getting much exposure. As it’s normally small, you'll be able to try out a large number of ways of creatively enhancing its look so that the guests will say, “aw, how lovely!”
