Yummo!

Catering - Check!!
Last night we had a second meeting and full menu tasting with Terrace Catering. www.terracecatering.com We really had a lovely night. We invited my parents over, I made bellinis, and we booked a caterer!

They brought soooo much food and let me just say, these gals are fabulous!! They are super nice, make delicious food, are reasonably priced, and best of all - they are open for all kinds of ideas! They embrace doing things out of the "cookie cutter" and are so stoked about getting to cater a tea reception. In fact, they are the only caterer that we met who not only understood what we wanted, but were actually excited about it!

Tonight we tasted...

For cocktail hour:

Peaches wrapped with basil and prosciutto
Ham, zucchini and gruyere mini quiche
Grilled shrimp with orange cilantro vinaigrette

For the reception:

Crab, mango and avocado salad
Baked brie with fruit and bread
Roasted potato with garlic aioli
California pita sandwich
Smoked salmon and chive cream sandwich
Turkey and brie on croissant
Roast beef and horseradish on croissant
Roast chicken and cranberry sandwich (my favorite!)


Overall everything was excellent! We will be changing the peaches a little since apparently no one like prosciutto. Instead we will probably do a honey, lime and mint glaze. Also we won't serve the quiche. We're looking at stuffed endive, tomato, and potato. Mmmm, I'm getting hungry again!
