"Fortune Teller Party Halloween Food Suggestions"

As a good host and/or hostess, you should plan to serve Halloween recipe ideas that relate to the theme that you are planning your Halloween party around - in this case, a fortune teller party.

While looking through a Halloween book written in the early part of the twentieth century, I came across a menu that suited this theme pretty well.

Aside from the soup (which you may or may not wish to make), the rest of the menu is pretty straight forward and can be used at a buffet style table setting. The menu is pretty basic, so I would suggest you add more items to the list, but it'll give you a good start on "mystical" type Halloween recipe ideas.

Fortune Teller Party Menu

Halloween Recipe Ideas
  • Astrologer's Broth (Bouillon containing carrots cut in the forms of stars, crescents, triangles, etc.) Note: You could also use a vegetable or chicken noodle soup, and add star shaped pasta.

  • Mysteries (Chicken patties)

  • Zodiac Salad (individual fruit salads decorated with zodiac symbols on toothpicks)

  • Talismans (small, individual cakes cut out in symbolic good-luck forms such as: shamrocks, horseshoes, etc.)

  • Fortune Cups (Tea containing a few grounds for telling fortunes)

fortune cookies Ingredients:

    8 oz flour
    2 tablespoons cornstarch
    4 ounces sugar
    1/2 teaspoons salt
    2 egg whites
    4 ounces vegetable oil
    1 teaspoon water
    2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions:

1. Sift flour, cornstarch, sugar and salt together in a large bowl.

2. Mix egg whites, oil, water and vanilla in a small bowl and stir into flour mixture until blended.

3. Roll very thin 4 inch circles of dough and place on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 300F for 15 minutes.

4. Working quickly, remove one cookie at a time from the baking sheet with a wide spatula flipping the cookie onto a gloved hand.

5. Place a thin paper fortune on cookie and fold the cookie in half. Grasp the ends of the cookie and crease it into a crescent shape. You may wish to use the edge of a pan or pot to do this.

6. Place on wire rack to cool. Store in an air tight container.

Note: If the cookie cools too fast while you're trying to shape it, put it back into the oven for 30 seconds to 1 minute to soften. It's best to bake and work with only a few cookies at a time.
