A recent thank you from a client.

So it's been a while since we have had a chance to sit down and actually write a blog. It's becoming a bit of a theme these days! We are just so busy that there is barely enough time in the day to do everything else we have to do, let alone keep you all updated with our comings and goings. Still, as Ernest Hemmingway wrote, "Through hard work do we burn the fat off our souls." Our souls are looking particularly lean these days...
For those of you haven't seen out photos of the past events check them out on our facebook page. (The link can be found at the bottom of this blog).
We thought that since it has been a while we would recant the story of our latest escapade within the world of home catering and also just to prove it, give you a copy of the lovely letter we received from them saying thank you.

As you can see above, here is a picture of the level of skill that goes into making your food at the venue and also the level of dedication that Scott has for making the best food in the catering business here in Dubai.. This actually was taken at the last event we did, which was a birthday party with 100 guests present. It was a totally flat out service and the whole team did amazingly well. At the height of the event the food was going out and being emptied off the platteres faster than it could be cooked! We took 1500 canapés and left with around 100 unused. You can only imagine the speed at which everyone had to work and the coordination from both the front of house and kitchen staff required to make sure that the flow of food and drinks was consistent.
The clients that evening had decided they were to have a selection of canapés and no sit down meal, which was indeed lucky for us as a sit down meal of 100 guests is no mean feat, even by our standards! As such 13 seperate hot and cold items were on offer, all of which went down an absolute treat with non stop compliments being paid to both the food and the service. It was truly an honour to achieve what the team did and also to recieve such high praise. The event was a much tricker proposition than we made it look!
By the end of the night the guests had had their fill and said their goodbyes. Not a single person left without complimenting either Scott himself or passing on their thanks via the client. A night that will live long in the memory of both us and them for it's level of effectiveness, quality and satisfaction on completion of a potential difficult event.
Here is the email we recieved from the client the day after for you all to read which we hope will inspire you to choose us for your next get together. Don't forget Christmas is coming up and we can provide you with a truly special occasion that will make your day that much more special.


Dear Scott
Thank you to you and your team for Friday night's party. We thought the food was great and your staff performed excellently. We have received many compliments on that front and have passed on your details. And if you do open a restaurant (which we heard may be the case), do let us know. All the best and thanks again.
Kind regards
C.A.

Thanksgiving.

Well many of us may not know that a very special holiday is arriving for our fellow American ex pats. You may have heard rumblings amongst your American colleagues that something is happening in their households that is a source of much anticipation. This holiday, of course, is Thanksgiving.
It all started, traditionally, in 1621between the natives and the pilgrims at Plymouth colony, but that's enough of the history lesson. What we're interested in is FOOD! American's all over the world and indeed back in their homeland have much reason to be excited for this festival. It is akin to a Christmas before Christmas in terms of family get togethers and the amount of food that is laid out and consumed.
So what is on the spread for Thanksgiving? Most people will know that the mainstay dish, much like christmas, is turkey. The accompanyment to this is of course, cranberry sauce, stuffing and a gravy of sorts.A plethora of mashed root vegetables, including sweet potatoes, normal potatoes, carrots and sometimes a swede goes along side this.
This meal traditionally is actually a very lively offering. Coming in November, nature provides a bounty of fruits and vegetables which were used in the first Thanksgiving. It may not be quite so similar today but waterfowl, venison, fish, lobster, clams, berries, fruit, pumpkin, and squash were all part of it. Some Southern states carry the seafood theme on through the use of oysters but by and large sea food is not a part of the Thanksgiving meal anymore.





No Thanksgiving meal would be complete without the pumpkin pie. We personally know many American's who panic over this final aspect of the dinner. Often they make many variations of it in order to show off their prowess leaving a great deal of pie to be consumed over the following weeks!
So this has been a very brief rundown of what to expect around the tables all over American households in the next few weeks. It, much like Christmas, is a time for reflection and recognising what in life you are truly thankful for. If you are lucky enough to be involved in such a huge feast make sure you let everyone know in your life how thankful you are for everything they do.
