Rose Marry: Food and creativity tie the knot in Ravishing Radish Catering’s polenta and mozzarella bites, skewered with a fresh sprig of rosemary for an aromatic spin.
Comfort Food: Ravishing Radish Catering turns childhood favorites into upscale dishes. Its mini chicken-and-waffle canapés feature rosemary-infused whipped cream and a maple syrup glaze. They make a decadent match when placed next to grilled Tillamook cheese with tomato soup shooters.
Dessert for One: Appetizers aren’t the only item that can be passed on a tray. Tuxedos and Tennis Shoes creates singular sweetness with treats such as its petite chai-spiced crème brûlée served in sake cups.
Perfect Plating: Beautifully plated finger foods elevate the cocktail hour. Herban Feast prepared a tasty array consisting of its signature sweet potato and Dungeness crab cakes, crying tiger chicken salad, heirloom tomato bruschetta and Mediterranean cucumber cup.
Artful App: Foodz Catering raises hors d’oeuvres to an art form with its Thai shrimp deviled eggs with an edible coral lace tuile, served in a small bamboo steamer.
Double Duty: Pique your guests’ hunger with a clever escort card that doubles as an amuse bouche. Foodz Catering created individual canapés of smoked salmon rosettes with caviar under glass cloches as a unique way to assign guests to their tables.
Change of Seasonings: Fresh and local ingredients are key, and it’s important to include vegetarian options. One of Tuxedos and Tennis Shoes’ signature appetizers is an embrace of savory flavors, featuring sage profiteroles filled with mascarpone mousse, pumpkin butter and topped with toasted pistachios.
