Last Saturday Jen, I and a few others from Dinings Services catered a wedding at a beautiful house out in the boonies of Coos Bay. It was tons of fun I hadn't had the pleasure of working a wedding before so it was quite the experience for me. We did hors d'oeuvres and plated dinner for 250. The awesome thing was the client hired servers and so all we had to do was play with food.
For hors d'oeuvres we made
- endive leaf with whipped goat cheese, orange supreme, candied pecans and balsamic reduction
- pita chip with red onion marmalade, grilled flank steak, dijon aioli and chive batonnet
- baget crouton with brie, cranberry compote, candied lemon rind and parsley
All of those are super tasty!
And for the dinner we plated up:
pork tenderloin medalions
garlic mashed potatoes
vegetable medley
and an apple compote yum yum
The best part was when all of us were plating the dinner. Chef kept saying, "keep moving guys, move faster! We're not done move, move, move!"
Oh yeah, apparently I suck at plating compote so Chef booted me to her job of garnish and it was kind of funny.
