Food Art Skills -- Our Chefs Have It

We prepared a variety of dishes for a recent book launch party with food art. Here are the results.

 

Turn Your Favorite Appetizers Into Passed Hors d'oeuvres

A catered wedding event took us to Brookside Gardens over the Memorial Day weekend. One of the couple's requests was to have passed hors d'oeuvres, which included family dinner favorites like five-spices beef, spring rolls and spicy shrimp. Using disposable containers and bamboo picks, we designed the items and portions to be outdoor-friendly, all while maintaining our signature food presentation flair.

Business Luncheon at the USP

The United States Pharmacopeial Convention (USP) had their annual three-day business conference with delegates from the Chinese branch of USP earlier this week. We catered lunch for three days and honored all dietary requests (halal, vegetarian, seafood allergy.) The menu was designed to suit typical Chinese tastebuds, while introducing some classic American Chinese dishes. Delegates were also thrilled with the fortune cookies, as it is still a novelty item in China! Our crew enjoyed serving this wonderful group of people and look forward to next year's conference!

Dinner Reception for Virginia Tech

Virginia Tech's Center for Leadership in Global Sustainability, located in Arlington, Va. hosted a dinner reception for faculty and students of the Executive Master of Natural Resources (XMNR) program on December 7, 2012. A Chinese-themed dinner was chosen to introduce program members to more authentic Chinese dishes that they would be likely to encounter during their trip to China next year. And it was our pleasure to present the finer side of Chinese cuisine!
