Entertaining Goes Casual With Cheesecake and Coffee
Think back to the carefree films of the 1930s, forties or fifties. Picture the social event that became the turning point of the movie. Men and women in formal attire converse only in clever banter and waltz with swirling grace. In their hands, an elegant martini. These days, we tend to entertain much more casually, even if we might still attempt clever dialogue.
Most of us don't have acquaintances with opulent mansions; neither do we have the budgets that allow us to stock up on many bottles of imported gin and tin after tin of beluga caviar. Furthermore, we not as comfortable in tuxedos as in unbuttoned shirts. Specialty coffee and a luscious dessert may be more appropriate ingredients for the relaxed social gatherings of our times.
Your neighborhood certainly has a local bakery that sells cheesecake, or you might explore a little farther from home to find something that all of your guest don't already experience in their everyday lives. You can have a selection of truly exquisite cheesecake delivered right to your home from across the country.
Remember that people's tastes vary, so provide a choice of cheesecake flavors. Offer a gourmet turtle cheesecake for the chocolate lovers on your guest list. Add a few walnuts and some dark chocolate shavings to the plate.
A key lime cheesecake, provides a welcome alternative for those of us who enjoy combining tart and sweet. Think about a couple mint leaves as a garnish.
Some of your guests might have some dietary restrictions (or have more self discipline than many of us). For those friends, include a gourmet low carb, sugar free cheesecake alternative. While that might not be considered a health food, it allows splurging within acceptable limits. An orange wedge makes a healthy addition to this plate.
Tastefully label these alternatives on the buffet so everyone can choose a slice of heaven that fits their own tolerance for sin.
Borrow some extra coffee makers, so that you can offer several coffees. Choose one of the interestingly flavored roasts. Add to that a robust, non-flavored alternative from Jamaica, perhaps. Of course, don't forget the decaf for anyone staying away from caffeine.
Keep the cream, non-fat milk and non-dairy creamer in an ice bath in a shallow, decorative bowl. Throw in some cubed sugar with sterling silver tongs, for a decorative touch.
This is the kind of casual entertaining that does not sacrifice the good taste that has always been the special ingredient for any party in any decade. Besides, there is no morning hangover the next day. Doesn't this sound more contemporary to you?
