Halloween Dinner Party Menu (2024)

We’ve got a delicious dinner party menu (with recipes!) to help you create your own Halloween dinner party. It’s colorful, beautiful, and most importantly… these dishes taste amazing!

Even if you’re not planning for a specific holiday, these recipes are good for any occasion! Read below for details and the full recipes!

• 2 heads of cauliflower
• 1 bulb of garlic
• 1 onion
• Olive oil
• Veggie stock to cover
• Sea salt
• Cracked pepper
• Yogurt
• Chili oil

Chili oil

• 1/2 c. olive oil
• 2 tbsp. red chili flakes

1. In a small pot, bring oil and chili flakes to a simmer, then turn off and let steep for about 30 minutes to let the chili infuse into the oil.
2. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees
3. Cut the top of the garlic bulb off, drizzle with olive oil, and wrap it in tin foil. Roast the whole garlic bulb until soft and golden.
4. Roughly chop onion and sauté in olive oil until translucent. Season with sea salt and cracked pepper. Roughly chop cauliflower. Add to onions and season again. When cauliflower is tender and golden, cover with veggie stock.
5. Squeeze the roasted garlic out of the papery bulb into the soup pot. Blend soup with an immersion blender or high speed blender until smooth. Taste and season with more sea salt and cracked pepper if necessary.
6. Finish with the chili oil and a drizzle of yogurt

Dinner party menu: Autumn Harvest Board

• Artisan bread, torn
• Artisan cheeses– we used Humboldt Fog Goat Cheese, Teahhive Cheddar Cheese, and a French Roquefort Blue Cheese
• Olives
• Orchard fruit, sliced
• Figs, cut in half
• Pomegranate, deseeded
• Butter and flakey sea salt
• Honeycomb
• Spicy dark chocolate, broken into pieces
• Big wooden board to serve on

A few pointers when arranging a harvest board:

• Use a big enough board. Better to have the contrast of wood showing than all the good stuff rolling off.
• Place the cheeses and bread down first. Everything else can be scattered around and made to fit.
• Keep each ingredient clumped somewhat together, to keep it easier to dish from.
• If using honeycomb, place on the board at the edge. The honey starts to seep out of the comb as soon as it is cut.

Dinner party menu: Pomegranate Ginger Elixir

Equal parts:

• Pomegranate juice (chilled)
• Ginger beer (chilled)

1. Combine in individual glasses or make a big pitcher. Serve chilled.

These foods look *almost* too gorgeous to eat. To complete the dinner party menu, try our vanilla bean skull cake for dessert! And to go along with these dinner party recipes, check out our full post about how to throw a beautiful and spooky Halloween party!
