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.
