A few weeks back we were contacted by a client to provide brunch foods for an "Itty, Bitty, Baby Shower" being hosted in her home. In keeping with the theme we chose a combination of traditional comfort foods with a "Mini" twist.A stationary display was set up with classic breakfast items such as shot glasses of french toast sticks with a vanilla maple syrup, mini bagels sandwiches with egg,

I met with Caitlyn this past September 29th. Caitlyn came to me with a unique situation. Her mom was suffering with cancer and not getting any better. Not knowing how long her mother had to live, Caitlyn and her finace Jeff had decided on having a small backyard wedding at Caitlyn's parents house in Coatsville, so that her mom would be able to attend the ceremony and if she wasn't feeling up to

This past Saturday we made our return to Hilltop House in Devon for our first of 2 weddings we are catering there this month. The plan called for a 5:30 ceremony in the courtyard followed by cocktails on the back patio and dinner in the Great Room at 7:00. For the second week in a row, grey skies loomed above just as we had finished setting up for the ceremony. With our fingers crossed we sent

On Saturday September 24, 2011 we had the pleasure of working with Sue and Chris for their backyard wedding at their home in Malvern. From our initial meeting Chris and Sue both stressed that because they were having at their home, they wanted it to feel like a big party, that more than likely would go into the wee hours. The plan was for the ceremony to be held on their back patio and then

On May 7th we have the pleasure of working with aimee and Bobby for their wedding at Greystone Hall. Although we do countless weddings each year and everyone becomes special to us, this wedding has some very special sinificance for us. I have worked with Aimee's mom, Betsy for a number of years when we would cater the annual Wayne Senior Center luncheon at the Willows in Radnor. Two years ago we

On Friday September 24, 2010 we had the pleasure of catering for Danielle and James's Wedding at Paradocx Vineyard. I met with the couple in late Spring and they told me it would be a very intimate wedding..24 Guests. While most of our events, weddings specifically, our usually in the 100's, it's a nice change of pace when catering to a smaller group. One of the benefits of a smaller group is

We were fortunate this past August to work with a great couple at a new venue for John Serock Catering. Nicole and Bill were married Friday August 20, 2010 at Artesano Iron Works in Manayunk, Philadelphia. Artesano is a great new venue space located on Cresson street in Manayunk. Guests arrived in the courtyard for cocktails and passed hors d' oeuvre's and were free to explore the beautiful 1st

Over the past few years I've had the opportunity to work a good number of events at Chaddsford Winery both for private clients and for the winery itself. One of the challenges we normally encounter working at the winery is trying to come up with innovative, trendy menus to complement their vast selection of wines. This particular event was particularly challenging because our guests for the

As a wedding caterer I am fortunate enough to work with a lot of great couples. I am given the opportunity to assist brides and grooms with planning the biggest day of their lives. While some couples rely heavily on my expertise and will ask my opinion on every detail; ceremony, floral, favors, etc. some couples know exactly what they want and just want me to show up the day of to provide the

This past Saturday I had the opportunity to work with a great group of parents for the St. Monica's (Berwyn) "Beach Blanket Bingo" auction. From our initial meeting in May, I knew that I was going to be working with a very talented and dedicated group of women. The transformation of the school's cafeteria and gymnasium was unbelievable. The footprint of the event was for guests to arrive on the "

I've been pretty crazy the past few weeks and haven't any time to update my blog. I want to send a long over due thank you to Eli and Emily at Philly Kitchen Share for being such gracious hosts for the Italian Cooking class I taught there on Wednesday October 7th with Corey Krejcik from Rolling Barrel. If you are an amateur caterer in need of part time commercial space or a home cook who would

I have been putting off starting a blog for what feels like at least a year. I've managed to come up with every excuse in the book. My main issues were: A. Limited Time B. I hated English and specifically Creative writing in high school and college. So what changed my mind? Over the past few months, I have spent countless hours researching various blogs on the Internet and the one thing that
