In honor of the day of all the saints dishes should not only be hearty and tasty, but also beautifully decorated. More details about the design of dishes for a very scary menu for Halloween, we'll talk further.
Halloween Appetizers
Decorate the cold and hot appetizers for the holiday, much easier than it might seem at first glance. You can go one of two ways: give a snack a mystical look or make it as disgusting as possible.
For those who decided to stick to the first option, we suggest starting with a simple snack in the form of hats of witches. Pieces of a batterless puff pastry should be cut into triangles and circles. Triangles should be wrapped around cones for baking and sprinkled with poppy seeds, circles are also sprinkled with poppy seeds and put everything in the oven. After baking, the cones of hats are filled with a salad and fastened to the fields of the hats with the help of thin pieces of soft cheese.
Have decided to serve a traditional salad? Then formulate it in the form of a skull, cover with a layer of mayonnaise and lay out the skull outlines from vegetables.
Even simple pieces of cheese can become more festive if you cut figurines out of them with special cuttings.
Among the frightening and nasty dishes in the style of Halloween, bloody eyes, made of beets stained with beet juice, are especially prominent.
Pumpkin, which "vomited" guacamole sauce.
And a frightening cheesy dip in the form of a skull. Chaotically pour the snack lightly with a tinted soy sauce, simulating the flow of blood, sprinkle with sesame seeds. Eyes make from small pickled bulbs or olives.
Hot dishes in the style of Halloween
Particularly successful are the ideas of hot meat feasts for a Halloween party, and the recipes for this meal are easy to reproduce with your own hands.
From the stuffing, you can mold everything that the soul desires, while the toasty meat, bathed in ketchup , after baking, acquires a strangely creepy look.
Some craftsmen make human legs out of minced meat, and attach pieces of onions to their nails.
Others make mummies, wrapping mincemeat with strips of bacon.
And still others make meat heads, decorating them with onions, eggs and olives.
How to decorate traditional sweet dishes for Halloween?
Baking and sweets are the main dishes for Halloween, so the options for possible recipes and decor of dishes are just mass. To save time, you can use ready-made cakes, cookies and sweets, simply decorating them to your taste, or to prepare a dish from scratch.
So, for example, ordinary truffles made from cookies can be dipped in colored chocolate, complemented with chocolate eyes, decorated with a colored cover - and before you an eccentric and cute cartoon monster.
Ready kapekeyki can be decorated with a colored cap and sprinkled with sugar "eyes."
And you can create eye-catching ghosts from bretsely, dipping the latter in white chocolate and adding all the same beady eyes.
By purchasing special forms for baking in the form of a skull, you can make biscuit heads of skeletons and decorate them with ornate pattern from the cream.
You can bake double-layered capkake in the classic for Halloween black and orange range.
Or turn ordinary meringue into frightened ghosts.
Drinks for Halloween
The easiest way to turn any cocktail into Halloween is to add a festive decor: spiders and worms, bloody stains on the edges of glasses or syringes filled with "blood" from sugar syrup will suit perfectly.
It is even easier to pour a drink on eccentric glasses in the form of skulls, beakers or medical packages for blood.
Alcohol shots can be given in all the same syringes.
In addition, you can decorate cocktails by coloring the drinks with natural dyes or colored covering to decorate the glasses.
