Fuss-free (almost) Finger Food Party
Comments (3)Thank you so much for your kind post! I have been planning this one for a while. I throw a lot of parties and often find myself so stressed and rushed on the day that I barely have time to shower before the first guests arrive! So this time I have vowed to be ultra-organised, with basically everything made ahead and just requiring reheating. I live in Sydney, Australia, which also gets quite hot in summer (the party's in November) so I am planning to only have the dips and cheese out for an hour or so until the other stuff is ready. Here is the recipe for the chicken balls - I apologise that all measurements are metric: Spicy Hoisin Chicken Balls (Makes 60) 1 kg chicken mince 1 T light soy sauce 3 cups breadcrumbs 2 t ginger 1 small onion, chopped 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil 2 cloves garlic, crushed 1/4 teaspoon 5 Spice powder 1 egg, beaten 1/3 Cup oil for frying 1/4 cup hoisin sauce - Heat oven moderate - Combine mince, crumbs, onion, garlic, egg, sauces, ginger, sesame oil and spice. - Mix well and shape into 60 balls - Heat oil and cook balls in batches until browned. Drain on absorbent paper. - Transfer to oven tray and bake 15 minutes or until cooked through. I'll keep you posted!...See MoreTonight: two classic movies about food
Comments (6)I just watched Babette's Feast last night, due to the recommendations on this forum. Wow. It's way more than a food movie. It's very deep. It'll have me thinking about it for a long time. I just read some of the history that surrounded it, which explained much about what was going on. Thanks for the recommendation, (even if I was a little slow to act on it.)

Comments (32)All mentioned already but here's mine: Julie and Julia - the Julia bits not the Julie bits - when Julia first arrives in France and is served Trout a la Meuniere and has an epiphany - starting her life-long love affair with French food and cooking. Eat, Drink, Man, Woman Tampopo Chocolat - "It's not my favorite." "It's not my favorite." "It's not my favorite." Finally - "THIS is my favorite." The top two without a doubt for me: Big Night - I can't tell you how much I love Stanley Tucci and Tony Shalhoub. Love, love, love them both. And number one ---- Babette's Feast - a movie that explains without words how food and sensuality are intertwined and the marriage between them is a human necessity. How Babette brought joy to the utterly sense-starved, ascetic townsfolk and their bitter, frigid and abstinent lives, lifting them at least for one evening to a truer meaning of life than they had ever let themselves experience. That Babette gave up everything to "feed" them in this manner, to share her gifts, to thank them, to deliver a dream... still an astonishing film....See MoreFood Movies
Comments (45)We had a terrific party featuring the recipes at the back of the book Fried Green Tomatoes. All excellent, one after the the other, and the party was a huge success! I always want the foods featured in a book or movie, and have frequently made them. It's fun! Fatso and Rush Hour and the scene in The Godfather where what's-his-name tells Michael he has to learn to cook spaghetti for a buncha guys are among my favorites. Sherry...See MoreAnnie Deighnaugh
