Appetizers as a Main Dish

Many parties and events aren't setup for a full meal service. Sometimes there aren't tables for sitting and eating, the event takes place at an awkward time in the day, or the event is simply not long enough to warrant full meal service. Appetizer trays are perfect for occasions such as these. Sometimes a little taste of everything can be better than any big meal. For a party or event where people will be on their feet, appetizer trays offer tastes and treats to dazzle your guests without weighing them down.

Often refereed to as hors d'oeuvres, plates of small (often bite size) appetizers are great for certain occasions. Especially at events where guests will be on their feet and mingling with others, hors d'oeuvres allow everyone to satiate their hunger without being encumbered by large plates or overly full bellies. This works especially well at short afternoon events or for quick business functions at the end of the day. Casually served appetizers all for your event to proceed without all the distractions a large meal or banquet can bring.

Hors d'oeuvres also have another benefit over full meals, variety. Catering companies like Isaac's Catering offer many different options for appetizers such as Miniature Lump Back Fin Crab Cakes with Roasted Garlic Aioli, Mushroom Caps Stuffed with Italian Sausage, Beef Skewers with Teriyaki and BBQ Sauce, Shrimp and Scallop Ceviche served on Won Ton Spoons and Jicama Triangles with Spicy Crab Meat Salad. It would almost be impossible to get this much variety in a single meal at a restaurant or regular party. A party or event of appetizers can not only be convenient but full of variety and flavor.

Wedding Food to Remember

Why are weddings so stressful? A wedding is supposed to be the happiest day of a couple's life. It is supposed to be the pinnacle of emotional expression and joy in the modern world. A wedding shouldn't have to be a giant headache, but the demand for perfection on your wedding day can inevitably lead to stress and tension in any relationship. The key to keeping wedding planning stress free is to have clear and obvious choices for all parts of the event: a location, DJ or Band and caterer are some of the most important parts.

The process of picking out all of the services of a wedding should be a joyous activity. How much is a wedding worth if the whole process leading up to it was a nightmare. The key to picking services is to not let the perfect be the enemy of the great. When searching for a catering company, pick the food from the company that tastes the best. Don't search endlessly for the perfect tasting food because there is a chance that it just doesn't exist. Many catering companies will be happy to provide you with complimentary samples to help narrow down your choices.

When picking food for your wedding reception, also make sure you try to account for different tastes. Offer at least a couple different main and side dishes to cater for broad differences in food choice. Don't worry about really picky eaters as they are almost impossible to please, and you may end up alienating some of the other guests. Professional catering companies will have lots of experience with weddings and will be able to share all of their tips and tricks for creating the best culinary experience possible.

The Perfect Party

There are many different components that make up the perfect party. The music should be upbeat and danceable, the decor should be flashy but at the same time elegant, the guests should be upbeat and ready to have fun, the food should be plentiful and delicious and perhaps most importantly, none of it should look like it requires much effort.

As a host you should be the center of the party. If you decide to cook your own food, then you have already taken yourself out of the equation. Cooking, plating and serving food requires a lot of time and effort. A catering company can provide all of these services for you and make it look effortless. Catered food also comes with the benefit of being delicious. Professional chefs have the experience to know exactly what works and what doesn't for whatever the occasion may be.

With a fully catered affair you can focus on your guests instead of all the complications that come with cooking and serving food. You can mingle, dance, eat or whatever it is that you would want to do at someone else's affair. Not only will you be able to have fun, but you will look like an expert party thrower to all of your friends and associates. Catered parties by Isaac's Catering are a professional and affordable option for your next perfect party.

Delicious Business

Business gatherings or meetings can often be stressful. Closing that big deal or maintaining your current client relationships is an important factor for keeping a successful business. Often you will need to host parties or extended gatherings for your clients so that they know how important they are for your business. It is important to make them feel welcome and comfortable. Food is an essential aspect of this relationship. Food brings everyone together, can provide fuel for conversations, and can help make everyone at the meeting or gathering feel content and satisfied.

Stress Free Gourmet

There's a lot of things that can go wrong when you are responsible for food at a party: you forgot to buy enough flour to make the cookies, you didn't put the roast in the oven soon enough, the milk in the refrigerador expired, or somehow the dog got into cabinet an guzzled the bottle of olive oil. Whatever it is, there are more important things to worry about at your party than all the little mistakes that can happen with the food. That is why getting a caterer is so valuable for get-togethers.

You are probably a good cook, but let's face it, the professionals do it better. With years of training and constant customer feedback, professional caterers have developed recipes that stand the test of time. They know exactly how long that steak needs to stay on the burner for the most succulent flavor and tender texture possible, and they know exactly the proportion of ingredients to make the perfect crab cake. We don't even need to mention how good the dessert will be.

Why bother stressing about your own cooking when it can all be done for you relatively cheap and hassle free. Gourmet chefs will provide you and your guests with some of the best food you can taste with an elegant and professional presentation. It's your party, so you should enjoy yourself. Let someone else worry about pleasing the taste buds.
