Welcome to Trendy Thursday!
Chef Wolfgang Puck believes that comfort foods have become more popular in the current economy. Think burgers, pizza, ribs, pot pie, and risotto—but comfort does not have to mean pedestrian. “Upgrade ingredients and prepare them with great expertise.
Serve hors d’oeuvres like Kobe burgers, wild mushroom risotto, smoked salmon pizzas, slow-braised short ribs or a simple chicken pot pie with lobster,” advises Puck.
I love the cool factor of chowder or chili sliders, mini macaroni and cheeses, and mom’s homemade pie. No matter what you choose, keep in a mind, it only takes a minimal effect (a small serving – after all everyone’s counting calories these days!) to make a big impression on your guests.
You don’t have to spend a million dollars on your wedding to make it yours; all you need to do is add your personal touches, such as comfort foods!
Best Idea I have found so far for such a simple staple is bite size grilled cheese sandwiches & creamy tomato soup served in shot glasses.
Great post!
