A Halloween party that works
A few tricks for a buffet that wows without taking all day.
It's all in the look
Candy eyes, a drizzle of melted chocolate, strips of puff pastry: three ingredients are enough to turn a simple recipe into a monster.
Make it the day before
Cookies, cakes and panna cotta can be made the day before. Save the big day for the puff pastry bites served warm.
A potion for everyone
Plan an alcohol-free version of every cocktail: grenadine syrup, orange juice and sparkling water make very convincing potions.
After trick-or-treating
Serve something hot and filling (soup, gratin, burger) before dessert: kids often come home starving… and loaded with sugar.
