ideadefinitely something with the Asian seasoning!

Have you tried the Oriental Vegetable Pizza or Asian Lettuce rolls from the All The Best cookbook? The lettuce rolls are made from Ramen, so would be really cheap! PM me if you need/want the recipes!

DISPLAY IDEAS TOO...

Indian - anything with a chutney, curry. Asian - so much to choose from; Dim Sum & Then Some from 2 years ago, countless items in cookbook.

EZ 'Asian' Dip for veggies, pretzel sticks...
1/2 cup mayonnaise (lite is OK)
1/2 cup sour cream (lite is OK)
1 tablespoon Asian Seasoning Mix
1 teaspoon soy sauce

I'd suggest two long tables...going to a fabric store and checking their remnants for anything silky in a red, gold, black, turquoise, and maybe something in a simple white - look over in the vinyl tablecloth area, too. Put the bright colors under some WHITE simple additions or any of our White products - any and all Chilzanne, food chopper, batter bowl & lid, UltMandoline, collander and bowl set, etc... On another long table opposite, get a white table cloth ($2-3 for easy plastic one at party supply place) and put clear and stainless steel items on it. Put tissue or artificial flowers (amazing what you can find at the dollar store - pull the blossoms off and you're good to go!) corresponding to the colors on your other table inside the clear bowls - batter bowls, food prep bowls, salad strainer. You can put some of the artificial blossoms around on the table, and POOF - you're good to go.

You'll want some height to get your booth to stand out. I invested in a Baker's rack (check craigslist.com for your area) but you can do a lot with stacking the stainless steel bowl set on the close-lidded one under it, same with the collander and bowl set - collanders upside down, bowls right side up with lids.
