Photos worth a thousand words...

During the month of May, we've been blessed with the opportunity to partner with photographer Lesley Bryce on a few of our events. Not only is she great to work with, but Lesley also has a knack for capturing the essence of a moment with her camera lens.

If you take a peek at the Flickr album from this wedding we catered on May 8th in Santa Paula, surely you'll be wowed by Lesley's pictures. There are color photos of the tablescapes, closeups that capture the freshness of the food, black and whites of the barn where the reception was held, and festive shots of the whimsical wedding cake.

We catered this event a few weeks ago for Business Networking International (BNI), a local networking group that we belong to. The table was decked out with some of our favorite delicacies. The cheese platter offered blue cheese, manchego cheese, candied macadamias, blood orange slices, and much much more.

We served quinoa cakes with a sweet and spicy bell pepper salsa and sandwiches made with turkey, arugula, mayonnaise, and our red onion marmalade on whole grain bread.

And one of our most popular yummies...chorizo stuffed dates wrapped in applewood smoked bacon.

They are quite the mouthful - the perfect blend of sweet and savory, with a zing from the smoky bacon. Oh, and if they've piqued your interest, they do make an occasional appearance on our dinner menu.
