Early brainstorming for 2 the separate gatherings, one local, one traveling.
2 apps for each, 1 dessert and 1 food gift for the local and 4 food gifts for travel,
Still looking around for more interesting ideas!
Apps / grazing:
– Mousse (tuna or salmon) or Rillettes (salmon or sardines)
– Something dip-py / cheesy – Kenai dip / Pimento cheese dip, Butter chicken dip, Pav bhaji fondue dip, Roasted green onion / scallion cream cheese dip, baked brie with some unusual topping (cardamom mango marmalade maybe)
– Something bready / pastry-ish – gougeres, apero bread, sheet (eighth) pan quiche, puff pastry spirals (kheema or spicy potato or something new),
– Something meaty – Shumai mini meatballs or merguez bites
– Gravlax (over tiny toasts with lemony spread)
Dessert / gifts:
– Panna cotta tart
– Chocolate ganache and caramel tart
– Hot milk sponge cake sandwiched with berry lemon curd
– Sticky toffee pudding bars / cake / bundt
