Prepare la decoración festiva

Published

on

(Family Features) Deliciosa comida, vino refinado, amigos y familiares. Estos son algunos de los ingredientes preferidos de la temporada festiva.

Afortunadamente, es posible organizar una celebración innovadora con familiares y amigos sin gastar una fortuna. En ALDI, puede ahorrar hasta un 50% en vinos, y productos para cocinar y hornear.*

Un menú con aperitivos encantadoramente presentados y vin brûlé (vino caliente con especias) puede transformar su reunión en un momento memorable. Siga estos consejos de Janice Stahl, estilista culinaria y clienta fiel de ALDI:

  • Elija un tema: piense en un tema que cree un clima alegre y genere diálogo entre los invitados. Por ejemplo, “Invierno blanco”, los invitados se vestirán de blanco, ofrecerá solo vinos blancos, espumantes y alimentos con colores claros (langostinos, quesos y galletas de mantequilla de postre).
  • Genere un clima festivo: decore la casa conforme al tema elegido. Para generar una experiencia festiva innovadora, invite a su casa al “Invierno blanco” con nieve artificial sobre los manteles y ramas de hojas perennes pintadas de dorado y plateado por todos lados.
  • Decore la bandeja de quesos: prepare una mesa de quesos simple pero espectacular. Para ello, ofrezca una selección de 3 a 5 quesos de diferentes texturas y sabores. El queso blando (como el de cabra) combina bien con galletas saladas. El queso semiduro (como el manchego) combina con jaleas o mermeladas ácidas. Sirva los quesos ahumados con frutas secas (nueces), y los quesos madurados, como el parmesano, con vegetales crocantes (apio o pepino) para resaltar los sabores del proceso de maduración.
  • Añada un toque europeo: prepare su propia versión del vino caliente europeo, una combinación de vino tinto y especias que crean un trago festivo. Refuerce el toque francés con crêpes deliciosos como aperitivo o dulces como postre.
  • Postre casero: prepare una mesa dulce en lugar de servir los postres. Para armar una mesa atractiva, coloque diversos chocolates, dulces y caramelos duros en frascos de vidrio transparente. Combine formas y tamaños diferentes. Ofrezca bolsas pequeñas y sujetadores para que los invitados personalicen su postre e incluso lleven algo a casa.

Creaciones con crêpes
Ofrezca a sus invitados una estación de elaboración de crêpes (panqueques) para probar y crear sabores divertidos e interesantes como aperitivos, postres o delicias de medianoche.

  • Ofrezca diferentes tipos de panqueques con chocolate, café, limón e incluso cerveza.
  • Cree rellenos innovadores como mantequilla de almendras, frutas en conserva o calabaza asada.
  • Para los invitados más aventureros, agregue aderezos como crema de avellanas, ricota batida o salsa de manzana, pero ofrezca también los aderezos más comunes, como azúcar impalpable, salsa de chocolate o crema batida.

Con estos simples consejos asequibles y recetas fáciles de preparar, sorprenderá a sus invitados. Para obtener más ideas divertidas, visite www.aldi.us.

In a significant public health alert, the Ohio Department of Agriculture (ODA) has announced an expanded recall of fresh produce supplied by Wiers Farm Inc., based in Huron County. This comes amidst growing concerns about potential listeria contamination, prompting vigilance among consumers shopping at select retailers, including Walmart, Aldi, and Kroger stores across Ohio and several other states.
