I was helping my client plan food for her event. We did our popular Strawberry Spinach Salad with balsamic vinaigrette. She wanted to go light on the salad because her guests were not big salad eaters. I told her I hoped they would try this one because it’s amazing.
Then this text showed up. 👏😊
I got to thinking about why we get the response that we do with dishes that are not totally exclusive to plateLee. (Lots of options for pasta bars and strawberry spinach salads out there!).
It’s not because I went to culinary school and spent years cooking in a restaurant. (Zero experience on both actually).
I think what it is is I appreciate food that is detailed:
Properly prepared
Properly seasoned
Properly proportioned for the dish
Properly balanced on tastes
I think we excel at those things. I think that is what elevates what can seem like such a “basic” meal. We pay attention to the details. From ingredients to menu planning to an eye pleasing set up to service that is friendly and accommodating and to taste.
It’s the little things that matter.
With plateLee catering, that’s exactly what you get.
