Catered a big crowd of one hundred guests at UC Berkeley last night at the Alumni House. Had the pleasure of working with many of the guests that were there at previous events. This was a double retirement party. The menu had an Italian flavor to it and we all had a great time and people were toasting and remembering good times!!!

Mini Grilled Turkey Pannini with Dijon, Pesto & Provolone Cheese

Catered a double birthday party for Bruce & Peggy in Los Gatos this past weekend!! What a fun party...they had their own Bocce Ball court that their guests were playing and what a great view of downtown San Jose from their home in the hills. The menu was all appetizers and finger foods. I find that most of my events that I cater, people prefer that over just a dinner-it's more fun and the variety pleases many party guests. Here is the menu, you will notice some repeat items on this menu that I've done before, but these are crowd pleasers!!!
