Leave a comment

Imagine a scenario where you’re hosting a sleek, reception for your event in London. Every one of your guests has turned out in their best clothes and are looking elegant and stylish. So, would you just stick to cocktails and call it a wrap? No, because as host, you cannot let your guests leave the party hungry. Also, due to time or space constraints, you can’t squeeze in a formal sit-down meal either. So, what do you do? Look for canapes Party !! 

What are  canapes ? 

The most preferred finger food at parties in London

Canapés are small finger foods that are usually served before dinner often accompanied with cocktails. It’s a type of hors d’oeuvre and is a two-bite food whose base is either a small bread or cracker with a topping of savoury or sweet ingredients.

What is the best food to serve at a party?

canapés are no exception to this adage. They are exquisite culinary creations that not only look good but pack a punch when it comes to taste. Thus, the ever-increasing popularity of canapés in London corporate events and other private parties requires no explanations.

Modern canapés use a kind of pancake called as blini or a pastry shell as the base. Even I make them  use of fluted cutters to cut round or shaped slices of plain white bread that serve as the base. At times, you can also find small baguettes as the base of the canapé. You can mix it up and serve different types of canapés and provide your guests with a broad range of choices.

Why are Canapés immensely popular at private parties?

There are various factors that contribute to the popularity of Canapés. Let’s have a short look at some of the notable factors:

Easy and fun to eat

Varied Selection of Flavours

Very economical 

Can replace a dinner after 12 bits 

Suit any taste from meaty to vegan guests 

Serve Canapés and Impress your Guests

Happy tummies make people happy. Serve a broad range of canapés to your guests, improve the mood of your event and, feel proud of hosting a successful party.

Impress your guests with your own private caterer

Leave a comment

There is an enormous amount of planning and organisation that goes into a private party. One of the most important aspects is the food. It is vital that you provide your guests with food, but this is an enormous task. It is for this reason that it is worth enlisting the services of a catering company.

Chef Bertrand Munier

Food is an essential ingredient for any private party. Providing your guests with food allows people to stay at the party for long periods, relax and enjoy themselves. Food can bring people together, so it is also an excellent tool for helping people to socialise and mingle.
Whether it is a birthday party, cocktail party or anniversary, you should always make food one of the top priorities. Usually, finger food in a buffet is the best type to serve. It allows people to eat as much or as little as they like and choose when they eat. It is also light and easy so people can socialise while they eat. A few great options for a private party include canapés, sandwiches, cheeses, brochette and quiche.
Preparing food for a large group can be stressful and time-consuming. With this in mind, it is worth using a professional catering company. The best private catering London companies can even provide you with a chef to cook the food at the venue. Taking assistance of a catering service ensures that everything is fresh, hot and delicious and certainly impresses your guests. Using a catering company also reduces a lot of stress for the host and frees up time to focus on other areas of the party.

Private parties are always fantastic events and a great way to celebrate. They can also be stressful to organise and especially when it comes to the food, so using a caterer is an excellent solution to this problem.

The best hot canapes ! Gougères recipe from Burgundy

Leave a comment

1280px-Gruyère_Cheese_GougèresScreen Shot 2018-08-28 at 11.46.34

Whether you are going to a Michelin star restaurant or at a friend’s house in France, you will most likely be served gougères canapes to accompany your aperitif drinks (drinks served before a meal). Gougères are traditional cheese puffs made with either Emmenthal or Comté cheese. These little canapes luxuries are perfect with champagne or wine (they are often served during wine-tastings) – and so chic if you have them home-made. Originally from Burgundy, these puffs were invented in the 17th century in a patisserie called ‘Le ramequin de Bourgogne’. So next time you have guests, why don’t you dazzle them with these golden puffs.

  b72c7c41a8bc47e1c64245c4f2b66466

Ingredients (makes about 40)

250 ml/ 1 cup water

100 g/ 3.5 ounce salted butter

150 g/ 1 1/4 cups plain flour

180 g/ 2 cups grated Emmenthal or Gruyère cheese

4 eggs

A dash of ground nutmeg

1 egg yolk for glazing

A dash of salt and pepper

Pre-heat the over 180°

In a saucepan, bring the water and butter to a boil. Add the flour, stirring very fast and take immediately off the 6880354b233b989968432d063bf6700dheat. By now the batter will be roughly in the form of a softball. Add the eggs, one by one and stir. It’s important to add the eggs slowly – don’t worry if it looks too thick, just continue to stir as it will eventually become a smooth batter. Finally add the cheese, salt & pepper and stir to a good dewy batter.

Prepare a baking tray lined with parchment paper. You have two choices for preparing the gougères: either put the dough in a pastry bag with a standard tip and pipe walnut-sized mounds or spoon and shape with the help of two teaspoons and evenly shaped ball (again like the size of a walnut). Glaze with the egg yolk for a golden baked finish. Sprinkle the puffs lightly with grated cheese.

Leave adequate space between each gougère and bake for 25 minutes approx or until puffy and golden. Serve immediately.

ps: You can prepare these in advance and either refrigerate or freeze them. Just take them out again before serving and heat in a high-heat oven for 5-7 minutes.

bon appétit

The benefits of getting your dinner party food delivered

Leave a comment

https://www.bertrandmunier.co.uk/online_shop/canapes

Cooking food for a large group at a dinner party can be intimidating for the host as there is an expectation to impress the guests. One great trick is to order your food online from a catering company. It ensures that everything tastes fantastic, reduces stress and allows the host to spend more time socialising at the party.

Hosting a dinner party can be very stressful as there is so much pressure to impress. Even experienced dinner party hosts will have anxiety in the run up to the big night, and often it is the food which causes the most concern. Cooking a range of dishes for a large group can be intimidating, but fortunately, there is a great hidden trick which can considerably reduce stress and dazzle your guests.

This is to get your dinner party food delivered by a catering company. A caterer can provide everything that you will need for the evening. The list includes starters, main courses, desserts and even a cheese board. You will have an enormous range to choose from so you can cater to every taste and choose something which will leave a lasting impression on your guests. The food comes with storage and serving instructions – means you simply have to serve it up on the big night.
One of the key advantages of this trick is that it frees up a huge amount of time during the party. The host often spends a large part of the evening hidden in the kitchen, but by ordering the food online, it allows you to spend more time sitting at the table and enjoying the company of your guests. It also means that there is less to wash up too!

If you have a dinner party coming up and have concerns about the food, this is a great trick that will reduce stress and impress your guests.
