THE CULINARY ARCHITECT
Hors d’oeuvres for summer parties Recently, Culinary Architect catered The Preview Party of True Colors at The Nassau County Museum of Art in Roslyn. This powerful exhibition, created by the museum’s director, Dr. Charles Riley, highlights color in works of art, from the nineteenth century to today. The challenge of creating this opening was to create a display that is delicious to eat and in keeping with True Colors theme. The staff of Culinary Architect Catering immediately started to collect colorful serving platters and create a menu that was indeed, colorful, especially highlighting the colors of the shows promotional pieces. This time of year vegetables are at their peak at Farmers Markets, and farm stands, not too mention vibrantly colored! The following recipes feature fresh organic produce at its best. All of these recipes have been reduced to serve 12 people instead of 250 and may easily be duplicated for home entertain-
ing with ease. Let these delicious hors d’oeuvres be your next masterpiece.
