Spring Luncheon

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.

We served fresh handmade rolls, a berry-mango salad with chicken, warm corn chowder and our unique double chocolate charlottes.

"You made this?"

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 butterfly tuiles 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!

I love everything about this dessert: the patterned cake, the white chocolate ganache, and the butterfly tuile! Beautiful!

We sure had a wonderful time catering your luncheon!

Quintero Wedding: Reception

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.

The reception hall at the Fox Hollow Golf Course was a spacious and attractive room.

The flower centerpieces were absolutely gorgeous. LOVED them!

To add height to the buffet, we put our cute ribbon-wrapped candles on these elegant candlesticks.

On the food side of things, Sarah and Nick wanted an appetizer buffet with a good selection of sweet and non-sweet items. 

Our famous Pork Crostini- always a big hit

We're finding that our Southwestern Sweet Potato bites please every palate; they were gobbled up so quickly!

Our modern signage fit well with the decor and Sarah's colors.

Some of the less-adventurous people really missed out on our pistachio gelato- it was so tasty and Chef Lou's culinary friends raved about it!

These individual cones were so darling!

We served 3 types of perfect cookies: the White Chocolate Macadamia Nut cookie was loaded with all the good stuff, the Chocolate Chip Toffee Cookie was chewy and dense, and the Orange cookie was soft and moist.

As an event staff, we really enjoyed catering your wedding, 

Thanks Sarah!

Quintero Wedding: Luncheon

When Lou went to Culinary school at UVU she became the "Momma Hen" to some of her colleges who were in their early 20's; it has all the perks of watching them "grow up" without out the task of actually parenting them. One of them, Sarah, got married last week and we were so glad when she asked us to cater her wedding.

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.

Everything is ready and piping hot for the guests!

We made these charlottes to match Sarah's colors. They were darling!

On the buffet we accented with candles and this cute yellow and orange ribbon

We had two guests who required lactose and gluten free meals. For their dessert we made this cranberry orange sorbet.

The two culinary buddies. Isn't the bride gorgeous?

Congratulations and best wishes to Nick and Sarah!

"You Must Have Been Born in the South"

On my last post I talked about the venue and decorations for our most recent wedding at Stoney Cattle Ranch in Heber, UT. If you missed it, read about how she combined a feminine look with the cowboy look.

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.

Our crowd pleasing Southwestern Sweet Potato Cakes

Caprese skewers: red and yellow tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, balsamic dressing and basil

Our famous Pork Crostini

Shrimp Boil Tray: fresh shrimp, red new potatoes and corn on the cob. Served with option of clarified butter or cocktail sauce.

Our fried chicken made the brides father remark, "You must have been born in the South because this fried chicken is SO good!"

 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.

Then for the grooms cake we had a multi-layer "dirt cake", complete with chocolate rocks, Oreo dirt, and gummy worms.

Southern Rustic Wedding: Stoney Cattle Ranch

One of Stewart Mountain Lodging'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. 

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.

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.

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.

We had these cute chalkboards for signage

The bride wanted real silverware for her guests to use. We served them in bark covered vases.

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

And take a look at the bunches of flowers added to the buffet. Gorgeous! I love the cream, white, green, and brown color palate.

We filled different shapes and sizes of mason jars with combinations of cocoa beans, pepita seeds, rocks, and craisins

The glow off these candles is so beautiful

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.

Stay Tuned: Friday's post will be all about the food from this wedding
