Dazzlers

For those times when the movers and shakers must be dazzled, when laurels have been bestowed, when transitions must be acknowledged and anniversaries celebrated, something very special indeed is demanded of the host. The casual and easygoing gathering gives way to the event; important people and important events call for important food. This is the time to pull out all the stops and turn your entertaining eye to some of the more elegant and extravagant possibilities the world has to offer.

Caviar, oysters, foie gras, aïoli—even the names excite. We’ve dealt with these fabulous treats over the years and for us, while the mystery may be gone, the magic always remains. Remember, there’s no such thing as being served too much of a good thing, but these are very luxurious and can be served as wonderful garnishes, as well as in lavish amounts. Either way, you and your guests will absolutely love them.
