Finger Food
Here is some simple advice to make that Summer party go with a real Swing!
- Provide a variety of finger-food including something for the vegetarians.
- Try and avoid sloppy saucy dishes, not a good idea, we don’t want your guests getting in a mess!
- Have a mix of hot and cold.
- The cocktails themselves are the most important ingredient, so make sure your food complements not overpowers the drinks.
- The nibbles are an extra not the star attraction so you don’t overdo them.
- Have one or two sweet snacks to bring out at the end of the evening to accompany coffee.
Preparing food for a cocktail party doesn’t have to be complicated. Most supermarkets and delicatessens stock a huge selection of ready-prepared canapes and party food as well as all the ingredients you need to put on a lavish table of hors d’oeuvres.
- Make up large platefuls of antipasto with meats, nuts and cheese.
- Have bowls of flavoured olives, smoked almonds and vegetable crisps scattered around.
- Top crackers with caviar, smoked salmon or stilton.
- Make mini-kebabs on cocktail sticks from a mix of cheeses and olives or onions.
- Use ready-made canapes but make them your own by presenting them beautifully.
- Relax and Enjoy your party, you deserve it!
