Los Angeles Catering – Malibu Catering for Eco Friendly Cocktail Party

Eco Caters catered for a cocktail party on December 20th. We set up the stationary hors d’oeuvres that consisted of antipasto with marinated artichoke, sweet pepper with arugula, marinated cherry tomato with mozzarella, and mixed olives as well as a scallop and shrimp sausage platter with house mustard and radish sprouts. While guest chatted about the hustle and bustle of the holidays, our Eco Caters servers tray passed thai chicken skewers with marjoram yogurt, argentinean lamb skewer with chimmi churri, camembert shooter with asparagus, and fresh bruschetta with tomato concasse.

The cocktail party consisted of 20 adults and 14 children, so Eco Caters made two large cheese pizzas on homemade crust with organic tomato sauce to please all taste palettes. Los Angeles catering needs are growing more environmentally conscious, and the host for this Malibu catered event was no different. The host decided to use biodegradable plates which are made from fallen palm leaves and is becoming a more desirable method for presenting food in an environmentally conscience way.

Overall, the cocktail party was a perfect combination of good conversation and amazing food. We offer Los Angeles catering services for all types of events including weddings, private parties and corporate functions so we hope you will contact us for your next Malibu catering event.

Los Angeles Catering – Organic Catering for Holiday Party in Manhattan Beach

For a dinner party in Manhattan Beach on December 5th, the host specifically wanted all fresh organic food. We pride ourselves on knowing we have mastered the art of organic catering so this event was perfect for us. The stationary hors d’oeuvres consisted of chef’s choice cheese display with market fruit and preserves, and mezze platter with humus, baba ganouj, roasted red peppers, olives salad, and fresh pita. There were also a selection of mixed sliders such as: Grilled Portabella with mixed greens, and chimmi aioli; apricot turkey sliders with apple, arugula, and house mustard; and bacon, arugula, and cave aged gruyere; Thai chicken skewers with marjoram yogurt; Argentinean lamb skewer with chimmi churri; roasted beet salad with manchego, arugula, carrot, and beet vinaigrette; and lobster and porcini ravioli with chive beurre blanc. To compliment the food that we had prepared, the host of the party provided all organic wine and champagne for their guests.

As far as Los Angeles catering goes for us, we definitely use Maggies Farms for the majority of the fruits and vegetables and Rutiz Farms for the beets and potatoes. We have a great relationship with both of these farms, and we frequently use them for all our Los Angeles catering needs. The Eco friendly host also went as far as using Verterra dinnerware for her party. This is dinnerware that is 100% biodegradable and compotsable made from fallen palm leaves as well as biodegradable forks which were made out of wood. Using biodegradable dinnerware is very good for the environment but is also unique and beautiful, which is why we recommend it for all our clients.
