Fancy Party Ideas from Turkey

While on vacation in Turkey, I picked up a few fancy things that I plan to use in upcoming events.  Here are the top three...

1. Fancy drinks:  We were in Bodrum one night and I ordered a mojito that come to me with a lit sparkler poked through a piece of lime.  It was very festive!



2. Fancy foods:  The food there was prepared so simply, but tasted so great and would make for wonderful passed hors d'oeuvres.  A spicy chicken shish-kebab or adana kebab could replace the same old chicken satay, and sigara borek could replace the requisite spanakopita every time.

Sigara Borek is feta cheese and parsley
wrapped in filo dough and fried.

3. Fancy coffee:  Instead of offering espresso, try a Turkish coffee.  Even the process of watching it being made and poured is beautiful.
