Last week we had the opportunity to cater a luncheon for a local book club in Salt Lake. The event was held at a beautiful home near the University of Utah, and the weather cooperated enough to hold the event outside.<br />
<br />
We served fresh handmade rolls, a berry-mango salad with chicken, warm corn chowder and our unique <a href="http://savoryeventcatering.blogspot.com/2013/06/charlottes-work-of-art.html" target="_blank">double chocolate charlottes. </a><br />
<br />
<h4>
"You made this?" </h4>
As the ladies were arriving they gawked at all the food- especially the charlottes. Some were surprised to learn that we handmade every bit of their food: from fresh rolls that were made that morning in our kitchen (not bought from a store!), to the small <a href="http://savoryeventcatering.blogspot.com/2013/01/tuiles-and-frills.html" target="_blank">butterfly tuiles</a> that garnished the dessert. It was fun to tell these ladies that we don't cut corners on the preparation of our food. We like to serve the very best!<br />

Sarah, one of Chef Lou's culinary school friends, had her wedding reception later that night. Throughout the night the room was filled with friends and family munching on delicious bites while catching up with each other. The room was gorgeous and so was the beautiful glowing bride.<br />

One of them, Sarah, got married last week and we were so glad when she asked us to cater her wedding.<br />
<br />
Sarah had the luncheon and reception at the Fox Hollow Golf Course in American Fork. For the luncheon we served handmade chicken fetuccini, multi-grain rolls, asparagus, a fresh green salad and double chocolate charlottes. Everyone loved the food and kept coming back for seconds.<br />

If you missed it, read about how she combined a <a href="http://savoryeventcatering.blogspot.com/2013/06/southern-rustic-wedding-stoney-cattle.html" target="_blank">feminine look with the cowboy look.</a><br />
<br />
Now lets get to the good stuff. Our bride recently moved from Alabama and she wanted the food to be a real Southern buffet. On the menu we had Fried Chicken, a Shrimp Boil, Blackberry Cobbler, Grits, and Coleslaw, along with other items. Most of the guests were out of town and stayed for the entire reception. We made sure the guests were well fed as they partied all night long.<br />

Instead of a big wedding cake, the bride chose to have a smaller cake. She wanted white on white with fresh flowers adorning the top. We served the guests a vanilla cake with a white chocolate buttercream frosting.<br />
<br />
Then for the grooms cake we had a multi-layer "dirt cake", complete with chocolate rocks, Oreo dirt, and gummy worms.<br />

One of <a href="http://savoryeventcatering.blogspot.com/2013/03/preferred-reception-center-stewart.html" target="_blank">Stewart Mountain Lodging</a>'s venues is called Stoney Cattle Ranch. It is a beautiful barn and home in Heber just off the highway. Last week, we catered a rustic southern wedding there and the reception was stunning. </div>

The bride chose to go with a feminine cowboy theme: she had all the girls in lacy cream dresses with cowboy boots and the men wore 3 piece suites. For the guest tables she had beautiful arrangements of flowers in cream and white with soft greens with burlap and bark-covered vases.</div>

The bottom floor is a big (clean) barn area. Twinkle lights were wrapped around every post and even formed a little canopy. We had all 6 of our buffet tables off to one side- that really helped the flow of hungry guest traffic. <br />

<br />
Our buffet tables were decorated with burlap, wooden trays, different risers, and rustic tea lights. We used very little metal trays because we wanted to go for more of an earthy feel.<br />

Adding height to the buffet really makes for a great visual appeal as well as it being easier for guests to serve themselves.<br />
<br />

All these pictures are just of the main floor. The upstairs has a very nicely decorated living room, and a few smaller rooms off to the side. It's a great little condo with a full kitchen, great for big parties or a cozy vacation. <br />

It's fun for us to pair menu items with the theme in addition to decorating the buffet. This picnic theme really worked for the bride and for the venue too; it was in a beautiful backyard in Highland. <br />
<br />
On the menu were our signature pulled pork sliders with optional "angry onions"...<br />

This was an interesting decorating task. Picnics are very causal: eating on blankets, serving drinks out of coolers, etc. However, weddings are on the opposite end of the spectrum. We decided to display the various finger foods on long buffet tables, and incorporated little picnic touches: daisies in mason jars, wooden crates, picnic basket, and burlap.<br />

Our Charlottes are something we're very proud of.<br />
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: center;">
Take a small glimpse into the making of these impressive desserts:</h4>
<br />
First, you start with a stencil. With a silpat mat underneath, a layer of pastry decorating paste is spread over the stencil. The stencil is removed, and the pattern stays on the silpat mat. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

After freezing the stencil, we made one Jaconde Sponge recipe, which is a thin cake with almond flour. The batter gets spread over the colored pattern and baked for a couple of minutes. After cooling, we turned over the pan and out comes the Jaconde Sponge with a bright pattern.<br />

We then trimed the edges of the cake, and measured out strips for our ring molds.<br />

Before putting in the cake, a very important step is to line the ring molds with acetate strips. This makes it come out of the mold much easier.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
We line the molds with the patterened cake. It's an involved process that takes a lot of fine tuning.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEcp0zCGyzLTOP6mMsNOyh0OE-orD-diFzcqvLHe6Qv5Vnfg48Sim_DPWW_a1yryW2H2UL7JS1Mb-A7zA6N2_m5c2JUqsWwcQVGXTR5hETOQVMuurTo1nYbmhOBsjCi6NIMOgl8dzviGs/s1600/IMAG0204.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEcp0zCGyzLTOP6mMsNOyh0OE-orD-diFzcqvLHe6Qv5Vnfg48Sim_DPWW_a1yryW2H2UL7JS1Mb-A7zA6N2_m5c2JUqsWwcQVGXTR5hETOQVMuurTo1nYbmhOBsjCi6NIMOgl8dzviGs/s1600/IMAG0204.jpg" height="400" width="225" /></a></div>
After the rings are lined with our patterened cake, we start to fill it up. This Charlotte was a multi-layered cake: we put in our milk chocolate layer first, put it in the freezer to harden, and repeated the process with the white chocolate layer. <br />
<br />

After the second layer hardened, we put on a shiny dark chocolate ganache, let it harden, then took the molds off, garnished the top and Voila! a beautiful Charlotte is born. <br />

We use the main recipe and then add toppings or roll it differently for our various sandwiches and appetizers.<br />
<br />
Soft Rolls<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Lou Crandall</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">makes 33 2oz rolls</span><br />
<br />
<u>Ingredients</u><br />
3 c. water, about 100 degrees; don't go over 104 degrees<br />
2 TBLS active dry yeast<br />
1/2 c. sugar<br />
1/3 c. nonfat milk powder<br />
7 1/4 c. bread flour<br />
1 TBLS salt<br />
1/2 c. salted butter<br />
eggs for an egg wash<br />
<br />
<u>Directions</u><br />
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.<br />
Add water to mixing bowl, then yeast. Put in sugar and nonfat milk powder. Add flour to fully cover mixture, then add salt. Add butter.<br />
Mix for 10 minutes on med speed in your mixer with dough hook attachment.<br />
Measure out 2 oz portions of dough on a scale and roll into balls.<br />
With parchment on the sheet pan, arrange dough balls on pan. Cover with oiled plastic wrap and let rise until double in size.<br />
Mix the eggs and brush over tops of rolls.<br />
Bake until light brown, about 10 minutes<br />
<br />
<u>Tips</u><br />
"Food storage" milk powder is the best kind to use. Do not use instant milk. <br />
You can use a Bosch or Kitchen Aid mixer. Remember to use the dough hook.<br />
The salt should never come into direct contact with the yeast (except when mixing it) or else it'll kill the yeast.<br />
If you don't have a scale to measure the dough balls, it will roughly be no smaller than a golf ball.<br />
Before baking you can sprinkle on sesame seeds, parmesan cheese, or other toppings.<br />

It's a winning combination of fruity flavor, sweet icing, and moist pound cake. One of the great things about it is that you can pair any fruit flavor with it: guava, raspberry, blood orange, grapefruit, etc.<br />

</h4>
<h4>
Let's talk about budgets.</h4>
For me, it has negative connotations- I have my mother to thank for that because she has always disliked "budget planning". Really though, budgets are a good thing, both in your personal finances and for planning parties. <br />
<br />
While working in the catering industry (and getting married less than a year ago myself), I've learned a lot about actual costs, what to expect, and what to plan for... and I'm here to share my findings with you.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<h3>
Things to Consider</h3>
<br />
First, do your research! It's a good idea to get an approximate price range for what you're buying- that way your budget will be more realistic.<br />
<br />
For catering, check out several companies' websites. Most will have price lists online, and others you can get just by emailing or calling for more information. When people ask us to do a wedding reception for them with four different items for 300 people- all under $1,000- it usually means they haven't done their research.<br />
<br />
Second, prioritize. When my fiance (now husband) and I were setting budgets for our wedding, we decided what was important to us. Photography and food were much more important to us than a wedding cake (in fact, we ended up never getting a cake).<br />
<br />
If you really don't care what kind of food you serve, a deli tray from your local grocery store might do the trick. However, if you really want to impress, delight, and feed your guests, it's better to hire a professional caterer. Furthermore, if you want to have amazing food, consider having your event in a backyard where it'll cost next to nothing as opposed to a reception center. Again, it's all about your priorities.<br />
<br />
As a catering company we've noticed a few trends for weddings in Utah. The average budget in Utah is $10,000-$12,000 whereas the national average is about <a href="http://blog.theknot.com/2013/03/07/average-wedding-cost-2013/" target="_blank">$28,000 ($63 per head for catering)</a> Your catering budget should be about 30% of your total budget. Of course, not everyone fits into the budget but it's good to know what wedding professionals expect. <br />
<br />
When you have your budget it is a good idea to figure out what you want for your party. I've written previously about <a href="http://savoryeventcatering.blogspot.com/2013/04/wedding-consultation.html" target="_blank">having food expectations.</a><br />
<br />
<h3>
How Savory Works With You</h3>
The customers who haven't done research are also surprised when they see charges for staff members, disposable ware, etc on their invoice. We're not trying to "nickle and dime" you, these are just costs that we have to cover. It's like buying a car. You can't buy a car without paying for insurance.<br />
<br />
However, for those with strict budgets, there is a light at the end of the tunnel! Savory offers pick up and delivery options for your event. This option completely eliminates staff charges (one of the most expensive items). With a pick up or delivery, we make the food fresh and you get to serve it yourself. A great option for those super DIY-ers! Another option is for you to provide the disposable ware (plates, cups, napkins, etc) yourself.<br />
<br />
In addition to eliminating certain items, you can also choose inexpensive items. For example, a pasta or chicken dinner will inherently cost less than a salmon or a fillet mignon dinner; our menus are completely customizable for your convenience. And if you're thinking of going "cheap" and using Kneaders, our prices are almost identical on fruit trays and cookies, but our food quality and presentation is worlds above!<br />
<br />
The last suggestion I have for you is to try to trim your guest list. For big events like weddings, your final guest count will be about 60% of all mailed invitations. Not all events will fit into this equation, you can inquire for more details. <br />
<br />
I hope these ideas and tips will help you as you are planning wonderful events. You might also want to inquire about some additional vendor discounts that can help you save money. Choose Savory for your professional catering: no one will go home hungry- not the guests or your wallet!<br />
<br />
<br />

Today we are featuring one of our unique appetizers: the Duck Wonton.</div>
<br />
This crispy wonton triangle is topped with a duck medallion, a sweet potato slice, and our signature tropical mango salsa. The sweet mango pairs nicely with the duck meat and the chip makes it easy to eat!<br />

Last month we catered a banquet for Salem Hills High School Drill Team. The team was saying goodbye to all their graduating seniors and celebrating a great year.<br />

We served warm herb and cheese rolls, creamy fetuccini with grilled chicken, carrot flowers, a fresh green salad, and passion-fruit financiers. <br />

They want their guests to have an enjoyable and memorable time at the party. Then why are people still choosing to serve deli sandwich trays?! Let's step away from the neighborhood deli and talk about treating your guests right with mouthwatering morsels.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Expand your Horizons; the options are endless</h3>
Chef Lou has an unparallelled passion for food. She loves to create new menu items that fit perfectly with your tastebuds and style of the event. Your guests will be blown away at the quality and variety of Savory's food choices. Give them a (food) experience to remember and set your event apart.<br />
<br />
One of our newest appetizers is the Southwestern Sweet Potato Cake. Chef Lou was tinkering around in her kitchen one day and created this appetizer. This is a truly unique bite: it has a warm sweet potato cake, fresh avocado, black bean and corn salsa, lime creme fraiche and garnished with a spinach chiffonade.<br />

Chef Lou will not take shortcuts. She believes in giving the BEST to our customers.<br />
<br />
Chef Lou puts it this way, <i>"At first I used to buy the pastry shells from a supplier. They were dry and didn't have any flavor! I soon realized I could make a much better pastry shell. My recipe has some orange zest so it gives the dough just a hint of citrus. I also use a flower cookie cutter because the scalloped edges look so cute. It's the little details that put this recipe from good to GREAT."</i><br />
<br />
It's the small things that make the Fruit Tart a winner: white chocolate lines the inside of the shell so it doesn't get soggy, real vanilla French Pastry cream is used, a variety of fresh sliced fruit individually arranged on each tart, and a shiny apricot glaze for the finishing touch. <br />
<br />

We have food that makes us swoon, act irrational, and beg for even the smallest nibble. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
One such mesmerizing morsel is our Pork Crostini. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It's hypnotic secret is in the ingredients. We add flavor from the very beginning. The pork tenderloin is marinated for 6 days in our signature balsamic marinade, roasted to perfection and thinly sliced. The bread round is buttered, coated with seasoning and cooked until crunchy, real cream is whipped for our unique sage whipped cream, and we cook our onions for the ideal caramelization. Then we top it off with a fried spinach leaf for color. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We've served this appetizer to over 1,000 people- all with rave reviews. It's unique, delicious, and looks great. Don't believe me? Try to not to drool over the next few pictures, or just order it for your next event and it will change your life. </div>

Presentation </h3>
Savory makes it easy to customize your sorbet or gelato. We can serve it in different disposable cups or in our chilled martini glasses. One fun option is to have an <a href="http://savoryeventcatering.blogspot.com/2013/03/action-station.html" target="_blank">action station</a>, where one of our staff members serves it up for each guest. Your guests will have so much fun picking which flavors to sample and coming back to their favorites. <br />

It makes it so much more fun because each wedding is unique, especially when it comes to food. Chef Lou loves to design your unique menu to fit your style, taste buds, and budget. <br />
<br />
One popular trend we've noticed with weddings are dessert bars. So. Cute. Desserts work well with coordinating with the style as well as switching up the flavor combinations- there are so many fun options! (What would we do without Pinterest??)<br />
<br />
With all my praise of dessert bars, I love a variety of sweet and non-sweet foods even more. <b>I get to have the best of both worlds!</b> <br />

This also varies with different types of events.<br />
<br />
For example, a buffet-style fare is <b>perfect</b> for a family party or informal gathering. However, for a wedding reception or a business gathering, it may not be the best choice for the style you're going with. Perhaps you want to make each guest feel valued, special, and appreciated. Well, how about having your food served as<b> passed Hors d'oeuvres?</b><br />
<br />
<h3>
Think outside of the box</h3>
In Utah, the buffet-style fare is very common, and it is effective. However, serving passed Hors d'oeuvres adds an entertainment factor for the guests, as well as stylistically making it more fun. Guests get to pick and choose which appetizers please their palate without ever leaving the conversation.<br />
<br />
Savory recently catered a pre-opening party for Microsoft's new store in the City Creek Mall in Salt Lake City. We served the guests seven different Hors d'oeuvres in addition to a gelato station. This style worked because it was a high class event and Microsoft wanted to treat their customers right.<br />

one went home hungry. </div>

Our gelato station was also a big hit. We served six different flavors of gelato: chocolate hazelnut with brownie chunks, salted caramel popcorn, lingonberry, blood orange, kaffir lime leaf and toasted sesame seed. The guests had fun tasting each flavor and going back for more.<br />

That sounds more like an inexperienced chef obscuring the flavor rather than the ingredients speaking for themselves. Food should leave you satisfied and feeling good! We recently catered a business luncheon with a spread of healthy options.<br />
<br />
Chef Lou catered for a meeting of health care professionals. She wanted to provide healthier food- and smaller portion- options and escape the food coma that sometimes rears it's ugly head after a meal. <br />
<br />
<h3>
On the Menu</h3>
First in line was a choice of two sliders: chunky turkey with cranberry sauce and caramelized onions or warm beef tenderloin with a creamy dill sauce. Each slider was on a whole wheat Kaiser knot with a multi-grain sprinkle.<br />

Next in line was one of our newest appetizers: the <b>Southwestern Sweet Potato Cake</b>. This delicious morsel has a warm sweet potato cake topped with black beans, roasted corn, red peppers, and scallions with a dollop of lime creme fraiche and spinach chiffonade.

Our green salad came next. This salad featured fresh green lettuce, ripe mango chunks, roasted almonds, and bleu cheese with a Mango coconut dressing. The salad was served individually in coconut shells... and we may or may not have had a business man take two halves, clap them together and quote lines from Monty Python and the Holy Grail...<br />
<br />
Chef Lou will never serve Ranch dressing with your salad (unless specifically requested). Rather, she prefers to create her own delicious dressings that complement your salad. Whenever possible she tries to make the most out of your food and really bring out the flavors. <br />

Who says those on a diet can't have dessert? Chef Lou has proved them wrong with this alteration of a Savory classic. We served a quadruple fresh berry mix with fat-free and sugar-free cream. Our berries are always fresh (frozen berries are a dirty word at Savory) and the cream was fresh and chilled. Guests were able to eat and enjoy their entire serving.<br />

Believe it or not, food is a form of communication. </h3>
What do you think is communicated by serving:<br />
<br />
<b>Kraft Macoroni and Cheese</b><br />
Either a fun meal for a 4 yr old or, "I'm really not in the mood to cook tonight"<br />
<b>Filet Mignon and Lobster tail with mushroom veal reduction sauce</b><br />
"This restaurant is committed to good quality and great food" or "Whoever cooked this put a lot of effort and time into it"<br />
<br />
Whatever your event may be, Savory communicates a high standard of professionalism, customers are valuable and appreciated, and high-quality food with every delicious mouthful.<br />
<br />
<h4>
Appreciation Luncheon<b><br /></b></h4>
Recently, Nebo School District put on an appreciation dinner for their secretaries and office staff to celebrate "Administrative Professionals Day". This is an annual event recognizing the hard work done by each employee in keeping the school organized and running. In addition, they recognized the efforts in those who were retiring at the end of the school year.<br />
<br />
What would have been communicated if the district had served limp and soggy ham and cheese sandwiches? Tasteless pasta salad? Limp and yellowing "green" salad with an overload of ranch dressing? Certainly not that every employee was appreciated and valued.<br />
<br />
Good thing the district contacted us to cater their luncheon! We offered them a satisfying lunch option without breaking the budget! We served handmade focaccia bread sandwiches with turkey, muenster cheese, southwestern sauce and crunchy lettuce, a fresh green salad with crisp romaine and red leaf lettuce with mandarin oranges, bleu cheese and our original orange mango dressing, and our rich Rocky Road brownies. <br />

10. Every dish is presented beautifully</h3>
One of the three "P"'s of cooking is <b>P</b>resentation. <a href="http://savoryeventcatering.blogspot.com/2012/12/the-art-of-plating.html" target="_blank">How the food looks</a> is just as important as how it tastes. At Savory, we plate and display our food so it looks appetizing. It also provides an entertainment factor for the guests- they are excited to try new things <b>because it looks good.</b><br />

<h4 style="text-align: center;">
Culinary fads are always changing. Our current trend is using Wontons.</h4>
Wontons are traditionally found in many Chinese cuisines and are very versatile- usually fried or boiled in many different ways. Now, we've taken this useful item and use it in many different ways. We've...<br />
<ul>
<li>fried strips for a crunchy addition to salad</li>
<li>replaced tortilla chips and use fried wonton triangles to dip in our handmade hummus or other flavor dips</li>
<li>molded wontons into a cone and filled with salad for an easy grab-and-go appetizer</li>
<li>piled duck, sweet potato and mango salsa on a wonton cone for an elegant small bite.</li>
<li>stuffed it, fried it and served it with a sweet hot chile dipping sauce</li>
</ul>

Advice from the Chef</h3>
Before frying your wontons, make sure to dry them out a little. Peel apart your stack (cut into desired shape) and lay out to dry. This keeps the wontons from forming big bubbles are you fry them. The wontons will stick better and will look better, too. <br />
<br />

Asian Pasta Salad<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Lou Crandall, Savory Catering</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Makes 8-10 servings</span><br />
<br />
<u>Ingredients</u><br />
Salad:<br />
2 cans (30 oz total) mandarin oranges, drained<br />
2 cups chicken breasts<br />
1 bag (16 oz) bowtie pasta<br />
1 bag (6 oz) Craisins<br />
1/2 cup fresh chopped Italian flat-leaf parsley<br />
1 bunch green onions, chopped on the diagonal<br />
1/4 cup raw (untoasted) sesame seeds<br />
6 oz honey roasted peanuts<br />
1 1/2 bags (15 oz) fresh baby spinach OR cooked edamame<br />
<br />
Dressing:<br />
3/4 cup teriyaki sauce<br />
2/3 cup apple cider vinegar<br />
6 TBLS sugar<br />
1/2 tsp salt<br />
1/4 tsp pepper<br />
3/4 cup sesame oil (not sesame-flavored oil)<br />
<br />
<u>Directions</u><br />
Drain Mandarin oranges, set aside.<br />
Put raw chicken breasts onto a sheet pan, uncovered, and roast in oven at 450 degrees until an internal temperature of 145 degrees in the thickest part of the meat. Remove from oven, cover tightly with foil and allow to rest for 15 mins.<br />
Put ice and water in a large bowl and set aside. Cook pasta according to package until al dente. Immediately immerse pasta in the ice-water bath after cooking to stop the cooking process. Set aside.<br />
In a blender or food processor, mix together the teriyaki sauce, vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper. With the blender running, slowly drizzle in the sesame oil to combine and emulsify with the other ingredients. Set aside.<br />
When the chicken has finished resting, uncover and slice into large cubes. Cool to at least 40 degrees in the fridge.<br />
Combine all ingredients except spinach (edamame can be combine at this time), peanuts, and dressing. Store in fridge until service, adding the other ingredients.<br />
<br />
<u>Tip</u><br />
It is very important to immerse the bowtie pasta in cold water after cooking. This stops the cooking process. Bowtie pasta is quite fragile after being cooked.<br />
If salad is not being served the same day, then refrigerate all ingredients until ready to use. This can be prepped up to 2 days if nothing is combined.<br />
Add spinach last so it doesn't become limp and soggy.Mckellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04962214125588269803noreply@blogger.com0
