"sophisticated" recipes?

[hellebelle]

i am holding a recital at my house in about a month, and would like it to be an elegant and sophisticated occasion! the recital will be in the evening, at 8 PM, so people will probably have eaten dinner by then, but i'd still like to serve some food (cuz food is awesome!). does anyone know of any "sophisticated" recipes? like the vegan equivalent

most thing from this page, espcially the truffles, are killer and "sophisticated": http://www.cok.net/feat/valentines.php .

a friend also made some walnut-stuff dates, wrapped in dried mango, served skewered on toothpicks for some queer mixer--it sounded great, and it would have been great had the dates been a little better and the dried mango not been from trader joes.

ps: last year looks terrific!

woo those truffles look so swank! those date/mango things sound delish too.

p.s. last year's was terrific :D

I don't have anything to offer, other than fruit and vegetable platters are always awesome and they're so colorful! I like the way you arranged yours last year.

[hellebelle]

thanks, it took me forever to arrange those!

Hahaha, I really like your icon. I wasn't paying attention at first, and kinda did a double take - Someone professing their love for W on HERE?...oh. Heh.

[veggiepharmgirl]

Haha no, I'm definitely not a W fan. My icon is my response to pretty much everything that man says.

Maybe veggie sushi? Sushi is...kinda sophisticated. =p

[hellebelle]

mmm good idea! i make tasty but very deformed sushi...

Instead of pasta salad, maybe a Moroccan tabouleh?

You may also want to consider dolmades or veggie/tofu stuffed phyllo appetizers.

[hellebelle]

mm phyllo, thank you!
