My sister and I were planning a Rosemary's Baby dinner party. In coming up with ideas we realized we had completely different takes on how we could do it. My sister envisioned the party having a dark, moody vibe with black table settings and blackened food - and I thought of recreating the dishes in the film and decorating with bright sunny yellow as Rosemary did. Well, it was on! A little sibling competition is always fun - and I plan to make the competitions a regular event around here. These are the final results! You decide which "take" on the movie you like best...
TAKE 1
This "Lights! Camera! Dinner Party!" version focuses on the dark side of the movie; the creepiness of witches and devils lurking about. It echoes the decor of the apartment building, where Rosemary lives, "The Black Bramford" as well as her neighbor's (The Castevets) gloomy apartment.
The decorations for this table call out the flames of hell! The black satin reflects what Rosemary lays on when she "meets" the Devil. It was also used to cover the baby's bassinet, along with the black tulle, in the last scene.
Rosemary and Guy comment on the herb garden left by the previous tenant, Mrs. Gardenia. Guys wonders if it's marijuana!
This centerpiece pays homage to the herb garden. The Scrabble pieces are a nod to the scene when Rosemary discovers the true identity of her neighbor. Spooky...
Adrian Marcato liked to conjure up his buddy now and again!
Our delicious specialty cocktail is made with dark rum, cherry bitters, cranberry juice, and more.....
Named for the devil conjurer himself. It's devilishly good.
Rosemary means business!
Shrimp, butter, cognac, black bean puree, with a spicy cherry pepper on top.
Rosemary snacks on some raw meat.
Inspired by Rosemary's hankering for raw meat!
Served with red radicchio.....we'll let you decide what it reminds you of!
Guy's got some explaining to do!
Probably doesn't need much explaining. Dark, rich and Devilishly delicious!
The bright fruitiness of the raspberries compliments the rich chocolate
TAKE 2
This "Lights! Camera! Dinner Party!" version focuses on Rosemary and her brightness, a contrast to the dark and evil all around her. She liked the color yellow. This stood out in many scenes in the film.
The 1960s and sunny yellow reign in this table decor idea. Rosemary's intimate table is recreated for our dinner party.
A simple silver vase and chunky yellow tapers bring the scene to life!
Taken directly from dinner scene at the Castevet's. Roman offers Rosemary and Guy this delicious cocktail made from Vodka and Grenadine served very cold with a sprig of...rosemary!
...they don't want to spill any on "The CARPET!"
Rosemary serves lobster to her "young" friends at her party. "This is a very special party. You have to be under sixty to get in."
Minnie serves Guy and Rosemary steak they can barely cut for dinner. Our steak, however, is tender and juicy!
Minnie is fabulous! ...But her steak was a little tough.
Minnie also serves carrots along with her steak. Roasting makes them so tasty!
What else could we serve for dessert? It's light, fluffy, and chocolatey. (The one with the coffee bean is for Rosemary.)
Rosemary detects an undertaste... " a chalky undertaste".
