Red quinoa with edamame beans and sweet peppers. Kale smoothie with cocoa nibs, goji berries, yogurt and honey. If these aren’t the type of menu items you think of when you think “hotel meeting catering,” think again.
Above All Catering celebrated its 25th anniversary with a Coachella-inspired event. Among the 20 vendors contributing to the event were Blueprint Studios (blueprintstudiossocal.com), Sunseri’s Bar & Beverage Catering (sunseris.com), Signature Party Rentals (signatureparty.com) and Invisible Touch Events (invisibletouchevents.com).
The Classic Catering People provides catering for about 500 events each holiday season. The company, outside of Baltimore, has been serving the area for more than 40 years, with a philosophy of honoring food traditions while embracing new tastes and techniques. Executive Chef Alan Maw designs seasonally appropriate menus for these holiday events; he shared four of his holiday recipes with Catering Magazine.
