This baby shower for 50 was beautiful, fresh and classy. Held in the soon-to-be grandparents’ lovely home, Jacquie’s Gourmet Catering was asked to cater a bevy of healthy, nutritious, and gourmet foods to appeal to a wide range of tastes.
We were happy to oblige. Here’s the interesting and contemporary menu we served:
Beginning with butler-passed hors d'oeuvres:
Mini Chicken Creole Crepes Tied with a Chive
Mini Polenta Cake with Wild Mushroom duxelle
Vegetable Spring Roll with Sweet Chili Sauce Crab Cake with Avocado Cream
There was also a generous portion of Crab and Artichoke Dip with Flatbreads on the kitchen island.
In the dining room, Jacquie’s team set up:
Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail with Fresh Lemon and Remoulade Sauce
Sliced Aged Beef Tenderloin with Horseradish Cream served with Mini House Made Soft Rolls
Pistachio Crusted New Zealand Lamb Chops
Cured King Ora Salmon with Fresh Dill, Creme Fraiche, Fresh Lemon Capers, Melba Toasts with Lemon, Dill Cream Sauce
Dauphennoise Potatoes cut into Rounds, displayed on silver griddle
Roasted Vegetables including Brussel Sprouts, Rhutabaga, Parsnip, Turnip, Asparagus, and Portabello Mushrooms
Chimichurri, Arugula and Lemon Dip, Green Olive Tappanade
Multi-Colored Heirloom Cherry Tomatoes with Italian Olive Oil, Black Sea Salt and Fresh Basil
We wouldn’t want any type of party to make do without a sweet dollop of desserts! So – we set out
House Made Chocolate Truffles
Mini Apple Tarts
Mini Lemon Curd Squares
Mini Cheesecake
Chocolate Covered Strawberries
There truly was something for everyone – from the soon-to-be-mom to the proud grandparents, friends and family.
