Choosing the Best Catering in Phoenix

Choosing a caterer is a crucial decision for the success of your function. Whether you're planning a wedding, anniversary, birthday, shower, bah mitzvah, sweet sixteen or business meeting in Phoenix, asking the right questions will help you make the best decision for your event.

First, create a list of details that are important to you.

By detailing the crucial items that are vital for your occassion, you're sure to be able to ask and get your questions answered, making it easier to choose the right caterer for you. Don't forget timelines, special dietary considerations, and drink and bar selections.

Next, create a budget for your event.

Knowing what you want to spend up front and sharing that with your prospective caterer will allow you to make better choices when faced with making upgrades and meal selections during the process.

Thirdly, request a tasting for your top menu item choices.

If you haven't tasted your caterer's meals, a tasting can be quite helpful in determining not only what meals to select, but what caterer delivers the taste and presentation you would expect for your event. Watch how the tasting is conducted. Were the meals presented in a timely manner? How was the cleanup? How is the presentation?

Fourth, do a walk through at your event location.

This helps your caterer with logistics and helps you go over any details that may come up as you walk through. Talk about the flow of guests, timeline, staff and other details.

Lastly, ask questions.

Important questions to consider include: Will the person running the tasting be running the event? Can the caterer help with other event functions in addition to the food? What other events has the caterer put on? How long have they been catering? When is the final head count deadline?

Feel confident in asking questions that are important to you and don't be shy. Ask for suggestions based on your needs. Caterers have planned and put on many events and can share their expertise and experiences. Letting the caterer know how you feel will allow them to help make your event exactly the way you'd like it to be.

Engine 2 Diet

Firefighter Rip Esselstyn noticed many of his fellow firefighters in Austin, TX needed dire help with their health. Many were overweight with high levels of cholesterol. 

Previously a professional triathlete, Rip put his knowledge about health to work and helped them lose weight and lower their cholesterol. Every one of them lost weight with his help.

In his book, Engine 2 Diet, he outlines how a plant based whole foods diet is the key to better health and weight loss. I no doubt believe that Rip's father, internationally renouned cardiologist and author Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, formerly of the famous Cleveland Clinic and a proponent of plant based diet for heart health, was a large influence. Dr. Esselstyn recommends a vegan diet to become 'heart attack' proof.

The book includes an excellent selection of low fat plant based recipes along with his plan for a healthy way to lose weight and live.

Avoid Embarrasing Stains with Garment Guard

Garment Guard began in 1999, when one young girl got sick of her fitted, expensive, white t-shirts quickly getting ruined by yellow marks she dubbed “taco stains”.

Amazed that no disposable options existed, she created her own ideal dress shield: 100% cotton for comfort and breathability, beige for invisibility under sheers and whites, a strong but gentle adhesive to keep it in place, and, of course, disposability for ease and hygiene. Today, thousands of men and women use Garment Guard to protect their silks from nastiness, to prevent perspiration marks from embarrassing them, to avoid those yellow “taco stains”, and to save on dry-cleaning.

Induction Cooktops Are Hot

Sackett said serious cooks also are getting into magnetic induction cooktops ($125 to $500 or more). The portable units are less expensive than buying an entire stovetop with induction burners (about $1,500 to $4,000 or more), she said.

"These things are amazing," she said, pulling out a pan to demonstrate. "It heats the pan, not the surface. You can't start a fire because there's no flame. They're so much safer if you have children around."

She put some water in the skillet and turned on the burner. Within a couple of seconds, tiny bubbles began forming. "You have to use a pan with magnetic qualities," she said, picking up a refrigerator magnet. "If it sticks, you can use magnetic induction. If it falls to the floor, wrong pan."

Most top-end multi-clad and carbon steel cookware, as well as cast iron products, will work on magnetic induction burners.

"Stainless steel — forget it," she said. "It has to have carbon in it."

As for that magnet used to test the pan, "Don't put it on the burner. It'll blow up the 'works.'"

About Santorini Greece

Santorini is a small, circular archipelago of volcanic islands located in the southern Aegean Sea, about 200 km south-east from Greece's mainland. It is also known as Thera forming the southernmost member of the Cyclades group of islands, with an area of approximately 73 km (28 mi) and a 2001 census population of 13,670. It is comprised of the Municipality of Thíra (pop. 12,440) and the Community of Oía (Οία, pop. 1,230, which includes 268 inhabitants resident on the offshore island of Therasia, lying to the west). They have a total land area of 90.623 km, which also includes the uninhabited islands of Nea Kameni, Palaia Kameni, Aspronisi, and Christiani (all part of the Municipality of Thira).

Santorini is essentially what remains of an enormous volcanic explosion, destroying the earliest settlements on what was formerly a single island, and leading to the creation of the current geological caldera. Its spectacular physical beauty, along with a dynamic nightlife, have made the island one of Europe's tourist hotspots.

Watch videos of Santorini Greece and see why travelers call it one of the most spectacular islands in the world.

New Years Eve Recipe

After gorging yourself at Christmas, Alan Brown suggests light courses, festive cocktails, and fruit desserts to see the new year in.

In his recipe the smoky flavour of the prawns is softened by a cauliflower topping. For more flavour, puree roasted capsicum and smoked paprika into a mayonnaise as a topping.

"It's a tasty, light dish which can be prepared in advance," Brown says. "The prawns can easily be replaced by salmon or scallops."

Make a smoker with a roasting pan, cake rack and a lid. Add cinnamon and lemon zest to the woodchips and smoke for about five minutes.

To wash it down Brown recommends a Sauvignon Semillion or a Pinot Gris. Alternatively you could have a classical cocktail, the Kier Royale, by adding cassis (blackcurrant) to champagne.

For dessert, summer berries add colour and a healthy option to your meal.

"You're probably still full from Christmas so serve plated fruit, sliced or marinated, with sorbet or parfait. And don't serve anything hot."

INGREDIENTS

* Handful of prawns

* 4 cups water

* 1/2 cup sugar

* 1/2 cup sea salt

* 1 potato, grated

* 1 kumara

* 1 egg

* 1 onion, finely chopped

* 1 tbsp coriander, chopped

* 1 tbsp flour

* Salt and pepper

1 Make a brine for the prawns by boiling the water, sugar, and sea salt. If you want, add flavouring - cloves, peppercorns, dried chilli, or allspice berries. simmer for 10 minutes.

2 Soak prawns in the brine for 20 minutes.

3 Remove and wash under cold water. Dry.

4 Smoke prawns with wood chip until cooked through.

5 To make the lalkes mix the potato, kumara, egg, onion, coriander, flour, and seasoning.

6 Make spoonful-sized fritters in hot oil, turning once, until cooked. Drain.

7 Blanch half a cauliflower in boiling water. Sweat in butter until tender.

8 Add a little milk and cream, before pureeing in a food processor.
