FOOD PORN: A Look Back at 2014 (Catering Edition)

Spicy steak tartare on baguette crisps with cornichon
The last month of the year is always (thankfully) an extremely hectic, busy time for chefs and caterers. 2014 was no exception for me, and as a result, my blogging suffered. As in, I haven't posted on here since before Thanksgiving. My apologies. 

So here, now, I thought I'd start the new year off with something different than what's currently clogging your inbox. I'll hold off on the healthy eating and new year resolution diets and cabbage soup recipes to reflect on some of the lovely, tasty tidbits and creations I made over the past year. This is a multi-part posting under a new Blu Aubergine blog category I'm calling FOOD PORN. It's simply handsome photos of drool-worthy dishes -- trolling for culinary salivary stimulation. And I'm unapologetic.

Here are some catering goodies from 2014... 

Baked brie en croute with honey, nuts, and dried fruits






Deviled eggs with candied ancho chile bacon 





 
Herbed ricotta crostini with prosciutto and apple

Homemade gravlax rosettes on endive leaves with horseradish cream




Crab and avocado salad cuplets

Buckwheat blini with caviar and creme fraiche
Cheese plate with persimmon and pear, ginger and apricot jams

Grilled swordfish steaks over fregola sarda with zucchini

Caprese with burrata and haricot verts
Roasted chilean sea bass crostini with romesco, prosciutto, + scallion 
Sweet potato latke with chipotle sour cream and wasabi caviar

  1. These really are some incredible looking catering foods. Something that really is interesting is that these kind of foods are able to be used to feed large groups of people and still taste good. Something that really looked amazing were the grilled swordfish steaks. I personally have never tried swordfish, but it looks incredible. Thank you for sharing. http://pollardscatering.com/index.php?main_page=page_2
