Happy New Year! Time to bring in 2012 with new beginnings such as new trends, new food, and new events. Time to throw out the old way of creating and thinking. Time to recreate, reform, and rejuvenate.

Which brings us to what’s hot in catering…we are always thinking of new food trends and new ways to recreate what foods are always at the top of the event list. In the South, it’s sometimes hard to get our Southern patronage to give into the new food trends. The traditional Southern Bride believes in Sit-Down or Full Service Buffet.

However, sometimes bigger isn’t better. This winter Bride might want to enjoy small versions with great eye appeal:
Starter
* Sweet Potato Soup topped with Fruit Salsa in Shot Glasses
Winter Vegetables such as Eggplant or Smoke Salmon
Bruschetta
Entree
* Mini Herb Pancakes topped with Crispy Duck and
Orange Marmalade
Mini Chicken Pot Pies with fall vegetables in Puff
Pastry
Dessert
* Little Shot Glasses of Cinnamon Hot Chocolate with
Mini Doughnuts
Mini Tasting Spoons of Assorted Creme Brulee, Apple
Pie, and Chocolate Mouse
