Gluten What ?
Did you know that May is not only the month of Cinco de Mayo!… Happy Cinco De Mayo my friends. May is also celiac awareness month. Working in the food industry the topic of gluten free food is a common one. I remember one time I was working for a company. We were working on a wedding and the groom was a celiac. One of the cooks suggested that if we were working on his meal we should not only change our gloves, cooking tools and sanitize or station, but we should also change our chef jackets. It is standard procedure when dealing with food allergies to take it seriously;…

Event Planning From Both Sides
I have been to events, but it is also my job to plan execute and deliver flawless events. As the client it is important to know all or as many of the facts about said event before you even start contacting vendors. Once you are at a good point. Start calling people up, ask your friends who they’ve used in the past. Word of mouth is the best way to get accurate and honest feedback on vendors. Date: Location: Delivery time: Set up time: Will you be needing attendants to set up/ break down Table cloths, napkins, china, glassware, silverware disposable or rental How many guests: What are your likes…

Tofurkey anyone?
First let me start by saying I’ve tried tofurkey, not a fan. Most people don’t understand why you would want to be a vegetarian in the first place. And then, they get even more confused when you say you occasionally eat things like chicken-less nuggets. Sometimes you just kinda miss the taste, and want something easy and effortless. I’ve been a vegetarian for a little over a year now. More specifically I am a pescetarian . My only source of meat protein comes from fish. All my other protein comes from soy,nuts,eggs, and beans. I decided to try this lifestyle on a whim. I wanted to eat more healthier and…

Hands In the Pot, Life Update
I have my hands in a lot of different pots right now. Literally and figuratively, so moving forward I think all of my posts will be life event updates and a few posts about food…I went on vacation to Florida at the end of July, and when I came back, I quit my job. I was never happy there and things were just going downhill. Yes, we work to make money, but happiness is a big part of it. So is being treated well, and being appreciated. At said job I would have to be in at 8:00 and I rarely made it in on time mainly because I just…

Menu Development as a Pastry Chef
As a new pastry chef who are finally in charge of their own department; changing the menu for the first time can be hard. There are so many factors that go into planning and executing a menu. Sometimes things get over looked. You cant just wake up one day and say “hmmm I think I’m going to change the menu” If you are a pastry chef in a restaurant you will probably have to consult with the head chef for the “ok” before you proceed. You have to think of the season that you are in, or about to be in. It wouldn’t be smart to put figs or watermelon…

What Makes a Successful Business… We’re still figuring that out
As most of you may know; as of March 1st I began the process of starting my own catering business. Cool! Wicked Exciting!… but its really not that easy I had to register my business name, get a tax ID number consult with a health inspector, find commercial kitchen spaces to rent, and write out proposals for said kitchens. My original plan was to start out of the home, but health regulations do not allow catering businesses to operate out of a residential space. I started contacting local restaurants and catering companies to see if they would be interested in renting to me. i found a great location a town…
