Elton John's Oscar Party Chef Dishes on What '60 Percent of the Guests Ordered,' Gordon Ramsay and How to Eat Like the Stars

Since TooFab's Madison Brodsky will be on the scene for the swanky soiree on Sunday, she talked to Elias this week for a preview of Sunday and some tips for viewers on how they can whip up some dishes to make their own Oscar viewing party a winner.

Elias and his team of 150 servers and bartenders and 70 kitchen staff members originally only made a 4-course meal for 700 people at Elton Johns AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party, but since they were so successful and Elton John received so many compliments, the 5-time Grammy winner wanted to add a 5th course with an additional 300 people in attendance.

The expectation is that Elias will have to have the dessert on the table by the last award because they want to be cleaned up by the time the Oscar nominees arrive.

"Each celebrity pays $5000 to attend this party, so I am very honored that they trust me to ask me back all these years to serve these A-listers,” Elias told TooFab.

Elias and his catering company also do their part in helping the foundation raise money by selling tickets for the party to their customers, hiring vendors who will work at a lower price or will donate items like wine, so the rest of the budget can go towards helping those in need who are living with HIV/AIDS.

Although Elias has catered the party for the past 14 years, this is his third year working with Ramsay to create an A-list menu that can be cooked and preserved for a long period of time.

Elias enjoys cooking with the celebrity chef because they are both at a level of expertise in their career where they can have fun getting creative with their dishes.

"He's been very funny and easy to work with," Elias said. "He's not at all like he is on 'Hell's Kitchen.'"

Elias worked closely with Ramsey in creating the perfect menu that is locally sourced and different from previous years.

"Celebrities know we change it up every year and they get really excited. Sixty percent of the guests ordered the beef, but it's the dessert that I think is really awesome."

Elias will be creating a smoked chocolate mousse with blood orange marmalade and a blood orange caramel with coffee almond crumbles and a silver leaf.

"The silver leaf represents the silver anniversary of the party."

Elias wants to be sure you can whip up something easy and delicious at your own Oscar party so you can feel like you're eating with the stars.

The first thing Elias suggests is making his signature “grown up grilled cheese” on raisin bread to put out as an appetizer.

3 Sandwiches = 1 Dozen Hors D'Ouevres

Ingredients6 Slices Of Thin Sliced Raisin Bread3 Oz. Marscapone Cheese3 Oz. Gorgonzola Cheese1 Asian Pear Peeled, Cored, Sliced Thin2 Oz. Butter For Pan Grilling

ProcedurePlace 6 Slices Of Raisin Bread On Work Table.Spread The Marscapone Cheese Evenly On All SlicesSprinkle The Gorgonzola Evenly On 3 Of The Raisin Bread Slices.On Top Of The Cheese Place 3 Slices Of Pear.Place The Other Slice On Top And Close The Sandwich.In A Saute Pan Melt 2 Oz. Of Butter And Over Low To Medium Heat Grill The Sandwiches On Both Sides Till Golden Brown.

To Serve Trim The Edges Off The Sandwiches And Cut Into A Criss Cross To Form 4 Little Triangle Pieces. Plate, Serve And Garnish With Fresh Herbs.

Elias swears by this easy breezy recipe because “all of the celebrities always ask for more. They're always the first dish gone.”

And as for an entrée, Elias suggests the sea bass that he is sautéing for this year's party.

Elias knows the recipe looks intimidating, but says the entire meal is actually quite simple.
