Catering Menu
The items on the catering menu represent my clients’ and family’s favorites. There are many other dishes I can offer to make your party shine. Please contact me directly to craft a menu that meets your needs perfectly. I have catered numerous cocktail parties and have found that a formula of 5 choices works well: Cheese, Seafood, Meat, Vegetable/Vegetarian, and Dessert.
