Catering in New York was incredible. I arrived Thursday morning, shopped Thursday afternoon in downtown Manhattan (wish is an accomplishment in itself), prepped Thursday night, cooked all day Friday, and carefully displayed each dish across a table for when the guest of honor arrived.
I felt so lucky to be part of a perfect evening and contribute my love of good, healthy, wholesome, real food.
The event was self-serve, arranged beautifully with vibrantly colored platters, white tables cloths, flower and herbal arrangements, and of course…the most gorgeous presentation of natural and healthy foods. The dinner menu follows.
