Cheesecake Finishes an Evening of Casual Entertaining
It is certainly not time to declare the old fashioned cocktail party of the mid-twentieth century is a thing of the past, but there is a recent trend in entertaining toward less formal events. Remember Carey Grant or Fred Astaire, dressed in their tuxedos; or consider Ginger Rogers in her swirling gown. They gathered in an opulent estate, sipped martinis and danced throughout the night. Can you honestly dream of your family, friends or neighbors relaxing in such an environment and actually being thrilled about it?
Gourmet coffee accompanied by a slice of delicate cheesecake better exemplifies the current era. That combination seems much better suited to an era in which men have discovered that an open collar is much more pleasant than a bow tie, studs and cumber bund. Furthermore, the cost for such an event can stay well under the cost of several bottles of imported gin, a little vermouth and caviar served with gold spoons.
The bakery on the next street has perfectly acceptable cheesecake, perhaps purchased from a local distributor, but you might want to opt for something a bit more interesting for the taste buds of your guests. You can have unique cheesecake delivered to your door the day before your party from as far away as across the country.
Consider a selection of cheesecakes to meet the varied tastes of your guests. You might want to include a turtle cheesecake for the people who enjoy a bit of chocolate in any dessert. You can decorate with just a few shavings of dark chocolate, and all the people can pretend that they are eating a health food.
A nice alternative would be a strawberry or blueberry cheesecake for your friends who enjoy a fruitier taste. You might want to venture to one of the more unusual berries such as Marionberry, unique to the Pacific Northwest. If you opt for the tarter flavors, you can decorate with a mint sprig.
Don't overlook those who are interested in splurging without sacrificing their dietary restrictions too much. Magnificent sugar free, low carb cheesecakes are available with tastes and textures that can rival their traditional counterparts. Add a couple berries or a thin slice of fresh pear.
Create some labels for each of your alternatives, so your guests can can know their choices without having to ask.
Of course, you'll want to include a robust decaf option. In addition choose to present just one interestingly flavored coffee. Add to that a bold roast from Jamaica or Columbia.
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 era. Besides, there is no morning hangover the next day. Doesn't this sound more contemporary to you?
