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.
