San Diego Wedding Catering company, Eco Caters provides organic hors d’oeuvres for a Bridal Shower

San Diego Wedding catering has become a specialty of ours and we are very excited to be one of San Diego’s premier wedding caterers.  With all the weddings for which we provide organic catering we don’t often cater Bridal Showers, so we were very pleased to cater a bridal shower in Poway at a private residence on Saturday.

The menu was heavy stationary hors d’oeuvres with a salad and side dish, perfect for a bridal shower, or any party wanting to serve a light meal.  The organic menu included our Mezze Platter with Hummus Trio, Roasted Red Peppers, Olives Salad, and Fresh Pita, Farmers and a Market Fruit Display with Local Honey. The host added in our yummy Mixed Sliders including; our vegetarian Grilled Portabella with Mint Chimmi Churri, an Apricot Turkey Slider with Apple, Arugula, and House Mustard, and our Smoked Salmon with Olivade and Sauce Grabiche. The girls feasted on a salad of Mixed Greens with Goat Cheese, Sliced Almonds, 9 Grain Croutons, Goji Berries, and Avocado Dressing, with a side of  Wild Mushroom Quinoa.

For dessert the bride-to-be and her lovely lady friends had Chocolate Molten Cake with Crème Anglais.  They were all very pleased with the food and excited about the fact that it was all organic catering.  We don’t often travel out to do catering in Poway but we are hoping to get more events in that area.

With all of the demand for organic catering for weddings in San Diego I think we should see more Bridal Showers going green and hopefully we will be there to fulfill that need.  We look forward to catering more events in Poway and through San Diego during this holiday season and into 2010.

Eco Caters Cater  launch of  LEED certified Office Building in Ocean Beach

Eco Caters provided organic hors d’oeuvres for the launch of Architects HGW’s brand new office building which was build of all recycled materials and was awarded a LEED certification for their green building and design of the office.  Needless to say organic food was a must for this event and we were very glad to be the organic caterer to provide it.  The event was sponsored by SDG&E because of their dedication to sustainability in Southern California they reward businesses that help reduce the demand for electricity.  Architects HGW designed the place themselves and it is now one of many buildings in which they have designed green.  This is not the first green building launch we have catered and we certainly hope to see more of these events in the future.  The menu consisted of some of our favorite organic hors d’oeuvres including a chefs choice cheese display with market fruit, vegetables crudite with roasted onion dip and vegan coconut ranch and a mezze platter with hummus trio, tabouleh salad, olive medley and fresh pita.  Everyone enjoyed the organic catering very much and was very happy to sit back and relax after all their hard work on the building and the recent move.  If you would like more info about Architects HGW you can visit their website at http://www.architects-hgw.com/.

As more and more green building projects like this are underway we hope to be the organic caterer of choice in San Diego, Los Angeles, Orange County and throughout Southern California.  Ocean Beach, which is the location of the Eco Caters San Diego kitchen, is a place in particular that we would love to see more demand for organic catering.  Ocean Beach catering has not yet been a big market for us but we hope to do more organic catering in this area as it is very conveniently located.

Eco Caters a San Diego Catering Company Delivers  a Simple and Organic Wedding

This was a very nice, private backyard wedding.  It was simple and it portrayed the couple perfectly without any unnecessary distractions.  The organic San Diego catering started off at cocktail hour with tray passed and stationary hors d’oeuvres. San Diego caterer, Eco Caters then  helped the party transition into a family style meal. One of our increasingly popular choices is the family style meal. It works great for social families and those who want a smaller more intimate feel to their wedding.

With the amazing views of San Diego and the ocean, San Diego caterer, Eco Caters could not have been in a better place.  The menu included stationary hors d’oeuvres which consisted of a chef’s choice cheese display with aged gouda, goregonzola, humboldt fog and chevre with honey and truffle with market fruit and preserves as well as hierloom salsa, mango salsa and guacamole with organic tortilla chips.  The tray pass hors d’oeuvres were very well liked, they consisted of assorted organic sliders, including ground sirloin with smoked cheddar, roma tomato, and homemade aioli, apricot turkey slider with apple, arugula, and house mustard and grilled portabella with mixed greens, and basil aioli.

For the plated salad, we served mixed greens with goat cheese, sliced almonds, nine grain croutons, goji berries, and avocado dressing.  Finally the main dishes and sides were served family style with one main and one side on each platter.  The first platter was smoked chili rubbed tri-tip with a fire roasted pepper sauce with mac-n-cheese with cave aged gruyere.  The second platter was grilled pacific fish with cilantro jalapeno oil alongside grilled farmers market vegetables.  For dessert Erin and Ryan decided to go with Apple Cobbler instead of wedding cake which everyone enjoyed very much.

For this couple, it was really important to have an organic pescetarian meal, and San Diego Catering company Eco Caters made that happen.  For those of you who may not know what a pescetarian is, it is like being a vegetarian, but they eat fish too.

This couple wanted to add something exciting and different to their appetizers, to they chose our fruit Melon Basil Skewers with Pistachio Oil, and refreshing Cucumber Cups with Mango, Jicama, Chili, and Lime.

After grazing for a bit, the party was treated to a lovely salad of  Mixed Greens with Goat Cheese, Sliced Almonds, 9 Grain Croutons, Goji Berries, and Avocado Dressing. For the main meal the pescetarians feasted on Spinach Stuffed Sole with Mandarin Oil and Black Sesame. There was also Grilled Portabella Mushrooms with Chimmi Churri on a bed of Spaghetti Squash for the vegitarians. Both served with Mac-n-Cheese with Cave Aged Gruyere, and Lemon Scented Israeli Cous Cous. All items were prepared from scratch by San Diego caterer, Eco Caters.
