Fandango Catering Offers 4 More Cool Hors d'oeuvres Presentation Ideas

As people plan their end-of-summer and fall parties, many are looking for just that special something that will make THEIR events stand out.  A good way is through cool food presentation ideas. 

In the last few weeks our chefs have designed several more cool hors d'oeuvres presentations, and we want to share some with you today. 

Shots garnished with fresh dill and/or citrus slices--Our Shrimp, Crab & Avocado Shots are presented in shot (schnaps) glasses decorated with small sprigs of fresh dill and citrus slices (or quarter slices).  You can use this idea to serve seafood cocktails, any type of mousse, cold soups, or the now trendy savory verrines (parfaits). 

If you are feeling creative, add a few long strands of chives and some bell pepper, finely diced, to the serving tray--this is one of our signature presentations.  But the chives and pepper "confetti" are not necessary--with only the dill sprigs and citrus slices you'll still have a very cool presentation!

Cocktail bites in mini martini or cordial glasses--A client recently gave us a fabulous collection of Art Deco serving pieces she inherited and didn't want, including some beautiful mini cordial glasses, and we'e used them to put skewered small bites, one in each glass--and then we also added sprigs of fresh dill or fresh rosemary.

Fresh mint leaves--Lay fresh mint leaves--the wide-ish leaves work best--(make sure they aren't damp) one by one with the points all facing one direction, in rows, angled, on a rectangular or square tray, then put one small skewer or hors d'oeuvres on each leaf.

Cold skewers in an eye-catching base--put skewers standing up in a base like a rectangle or wide oval vase or, for a more casual event, standing up in a slice of watermelon or a cut pineapple. 

Warmly,

Kristina
