On the 10th of August 2024, we had the distinct pleasure of catering for Fin and Asia’s wedding—a truly memorable occasion brimming with love, laughter, and an array of delectable dishes that delighted the senses. With 130 guests in attendance, this was an event that required meticulous planning, attention to detail, and, of course, a passion for exceptional food.
The Perfect Start: Canapés and Fizz
The day commenced with a touch of elegance as guests were welcomed with a selection of canapés and a refreshing glass of fizz. The canapés were crafted to impress:
- Lentil Crostini: Crispy, golden crostinis topped with a savoury lentil spread offered a delightful blend of textures and flavours.
- Pork Skewers: Tender, juicy pork skewers seasoned to perfection added a smoky, succulent touch to the pre-dinner experience.
- Cauliflower Popcorn: A playful and savoury twist on a classic snack, these crispy cauliflower bites were a hit with guests seeking a unique and tasty treat.
A Feast to Remember: Sharing Style Mains
As the evening progressed, the focus shifted to the heart of the meal. We served a vibrant array of sharing-style mains, designed to cater to diverse tastes and dietary preferences:
- Chicken Curry: This aromatic and flavourful curry, rich with spices and tender chicken pieces, was a comforting favourite among the guests.
- Chickpea Curry: A hearty, flavourful vegetarian option that showcased the versatility of chickpeas and spices, perfect for those who preferred a meat-free choice.
- Lamb Chops: Succulent lamb chops, cooked to perfection and seasoned with a blend of herbs, provided a sumptuous and elegant touch to the meal.
- Papaya Salad: This refreshing salad, with its crisp vegetables and tangy dressing, offered a light and zesty counterpoint to the richer dishes.
- Red Onion, Tomato, and Cucumber Salad: A classic combination of fresh, vibrant vegetables that complemented the main dishes with its bright, crisp flavours.
- Basmati Rice: Fluffy and aromatic, this staple provided the perfect accompaniment to the curries and lamb chops.
- Papadums: Light, crispy, and served with a variety of chutneys, these added a delightful crunch and extra flavour dimension.
