How many hors d’oeuvres should you serve?
If hors d’oeuvres are the main food event with no dinner to follow, plan on 5 hors d’oeuvres per person for the first two hours and 3 hors d’oeuvres per person each hour thereafter. If you’ll be serving dinner, simply plan on 4 hors d’oeuvres per person, per hour prior to dinner.
What combinations should I serve?
Ingredients, taste and appearance should all be considered when planning your assortment of hors d’oeuvres. Besides prepared hors d’oeuvres, offer some fresh, raw food such as crudités that satisfy guests with special diet requirements.
Our chefs recommend Bon Cuisine Shrimp Wontons for crunch, Bon Cuisine Bacon Wrapped Scallops for richness accompanied by an assortment of vegetable crudités. Serve with an Asian dipping sauce for the wontons and a creamy dip for the vegetables. When serving hors d’oeuvres only, add more variety with Bon Cuisine’s other popular appetizer selections.
How should I present hors d’oeuvres?
This is where the fun begins! If your gathering has a theme, do keep this in mind when contemplating party food ideas. Beyond traditional platters, consider utilizing more interesting serving options. Small plates, baskets lined with napkins; unique trays and/or cutting boards decoratively garnished with herbs all make for an inviting presentation. You can also line any plate with colorful herbs, dried beans, doilies, napkins, or even edible leaves (such as banana leaves readily available at specialty supermarkets).
