Have you ever had one of those moments where you think, “You know what my life needs more of? Cherries!” Well, I certainly did, and it resulted in a dinner party that was as sweet as it was quirky. Yes, guys, I hosted a cherry-themed dinner party, and it was a smashing success. Allow me to take you on a culinary journey through the cherry orchard that was my dining room. I'm talking about fresh cherries, frozen cherries and even canned cherries!
The Cherry-Picked Menu
Starter: Baked Brie with Cherry wrapped in Filo Pastry
We kicked off the evening with a starter that was both gooey and fruity—Baked Brie with cherry. Picture this: melted brie cheese, oozing its creamy goodness, topped with luscious cherry preserves. It’s like a warm hug for your taste buds.
Main Dish: Bacon-Wrapped Steak with Roasted Potatoes
The main event was a carnivore’s dream—bacon-wrapped steak with roasted potatoes. Juicy steaks, wrapped in crispy bacon, perfectly seared and served alongside golden roasted potatoes. The savory goodness of the bacon and the tenderness of the steak, complemented by the crispy, flavorful potatoes, made this dish the star of the show. And yes, we did manage to sneak in a hint of cherry in the glaze, because why not?
Peach, Cherry, Burrata, Balsamic, Sourdough
In a bid to pretend we were eating something healthy, I served up a salad that was almost too pretty to eat. Almost. Juicy peaches, tart cherries, creamy burrata, and a drizzle of balsamic all piled high on crispy sourdough. It was like summer on a plate, with cherries, of course.
Dessert: Cherry Galette with Ice Cream
For dessert, I channeled my inner pastry chef and whipped up a cherry galette. Flaky pastry, tart cherries, and a scoop of vanilla ice cream melting on top—it was the cherry on top of a perfect meal. Literally.
Drink: Cherry Vodka Sour
And let’s not forget the drinks! We sipped on Cherry Vodka Sours all night long. Tangy, refreshing, and dangerously easy to drink, these cocktails were the life of the party. Plus, they gave everyone a lovely cherry-red smile by the end of the night.
A Berry Good Time
In the end, the cherry-themed dinner party was a hit. We laughed, we ate, we drank, and we probably consumed more cherries in one night than most people do in a year. But that’s the fun of it, right? Sometimes, you just need to dive headfirst into a theme and see where it takes you.
So, if you ever find yourself with an abundance of cherries and a penchant for themed parties, I highly recommend giving this one a try. And don’t forget to raid H&M for all your decor needs—they’ve got you covered, cherry-style.
Here’s to many more fruity, fun-filled nights! Cheers!
