Each Event Brings New Ideas

So, a friend of mine tapped me into a local community celebrity who didn't want a whole lot, but was in need of good food for a group of young women, all who own non-profits. So, the end result became what I would call our "Easy Entertaining" Package. It feeds 35-40 people, and includes your choice of "Whatever Your Way Wings", 1 cold finger food selection, seasonal fruit arrangement, organic crudite, and a local cheese selection. The only difference with this package is that it for drop off service...I arrive with the food and focus on presentation and arrangement. I tried something new for this one as it relates to the finger food....Cajun fried turkey sammies! How invigorating it is to bring something new to the table, but more importantly...something different! Everyone knows about cajun fried turkey during the holidays, so I already had the spirit to use turkey just one more time..enjoy! And order your Easy Entertaining Experience Today!!

A "Chip" Off the Old Block

And the winner is...the Salmon Tortilla Chip! Man, what a time we had with Reggie Hammond and the Create Your Dreams Organization. Reggie hosted a FABULOUS party, and invited myself, along with two other chefs to challenge each other in the kitchen. I showed the crowd how to make homemade tortilla chips and I think that's what really stole the show!

The lucky donor, Rudy Fears, (between me and Reggie above) got to select the winner for the night and also received a FREE Personal Chef service from etch&market, thanks to Reggie's generosity. Not to mention, I made a new dish..the Phyllo Buffalo (center photo). A creative spin on the oh so famous hot wing. Let's just say that it was gone before it left the kitchen. Know your audience!
