Finally, Leonardo DiCaprio has received a long overdue and exceedingly deserved Oscar… I started following his career after Romeo + Juliet. I was mesmerized by his performance in that movie: so handsome and funny, and yet so sad and angry. He has given us ever since the most striking performances, movie after movie, a roller coaster of deeply wounded characters, each wilder than the last.
Anyway, there is no better way to celebrate food with friends than hosting an Oscars’ party with succulent appetizers and luscious drinks:
- Lychee Margarita (an exotic touch to the beloved margarita)
- Smoked Trout Rillettes (a delicious smoky spread)
- Chard Cakes (a tasty cake with uncommon flavors)
- Mushroom Tart (one of my favorite recipes, a profusion of savors)
- Rum Baba (a scrumptious dessert full of surprises).
