Los Angeles Catering – Organic Venice Beach Catering for Private Family Style Dinner

There is nothing better during the holidays than sharing a meal with family and friends. On December 16th, we did an all organic family style meal in Venice Beach. Before dinner guests engaged in conversation and helped themselves to Eco Caters very own stationary hors d’oeuvres that consisted of antipasto with marinated artichoke, sweet peppers with arugula, marinated cherry tomato with mozzarella, and mixed olives as well as a delicious vegetable crudite with roasted onion dip and house ranch. After the guest were done enjoying all our organic hors d’oeuvres they began to take their seats to get ready for the main course.

Prior to the main course, guests enjoyed a wild arugula salad with peach, nectarine, chevre, and apple cider vinaigrette; All of the mixed greens and herbs for the salad came from Maggie’s Farms. There were two main dishes, the first was a smoked chili rubbed tri-tip with a molasses and a fire roasted pepper sauce. The second was grilled vegetable lasagna with house made ricotta. To compliment the meal, roasted weiser farms potatoes with marjoram and thyme were served as well as a roasted asparagus marinated in grapefruit. Eating Organic is more than just food for our Venice Beach catered family, it has become a lifestyle which is why for the party we used Verterra biodegradable dinnerware which is biodegradable and compostable plates made from fallen palm leaves, flatware, cups and napkins. Whether it is a small dinner party, wedding, or a corporate catered event allow Eco Caters to provide our all Venice Beach catering services.

Five Gates Center Grand Opening in Venice – Organic Catering

Eco Caters did an organic catering event in Venice for the Five Gates Grand opening; The Science of the Healing Spirit. The view was beautiful as was the weather and guest enjoyed the all delicious organic food. First we set up stationary hors d’oeuvres that included many delicious foods such as a mezze platter with hummus, baba ganouj, roasted red peppers, olives salad, and fresh pita; Southern lollypops with homemade buttermilk ranch; and spicy chicken skewers with majoram. There were also Kosher hors d’oeuvres that consisted of vegetable turrine; simosa with coconut marjoram dip; and seared ahi on wonton with napa cabbage. Of course these were only a few, the buffet consisted of much more. Those fine hors d’oeurves were just the beginning of this delicious Los Angeles catering event. Next were a selection of the freshest and most seasonal salads that our guests raved about for hours. Some may thing it is hard to impress with salad, but we selecting our greens we make sure they are the freshest you can get. We ensure this by shopping at local farms for all or our organic catering needs. Venice catering has become very popular for us as the demand for organic is growing in the Los Angeles catering community. The guests attending the event were happy and full as they enjoyed the rest of the night with laughter and conversation.
