Like jazz, the cocktail party is a great American invention. Fittingly, the food at a cocktail reception should live up to its heritage of being on the edge of polite and refined, yet with a smidgen of the risqué, whimsy and scintillation. The Amuse-Gueule is the seduction before the serious business of dining. Have fun! Enjoy!
