Planning for a party can be stressful. You have to consider what you’ll wear, the guest list, the location, entertainment, lighting, and impressing your boss, staying clear of Janet as well as making the conversation interesting and, of course, the food. Actually, the food is the most stressful thing. What if it’s not good? Imagine a room filled with hungry people. Life is over.
Yes, you can avail caterers, But what is the most frequent time you’ve been at an event only to be served the same catered meal? It’s a good idea, and you’ve probably seen it over and over again. You’ve seen them: plates of sushi, salt and pepper calamari, or the bland crispy bread with a kind of spread or salmon ensemble. It’s not exciting.
They are also the ones at the top of the scale of catering. Boring sandwiches cut into colorful triangles. No, thank you. These sausage roll sandwiches are so retro and unhealthy. And, aside from there aren’t many people who are vegetarians or coeliac these days.
We’ve stumbled across two Instagram-worthy crowd-pleasing recipes that will get you off the hook for catering next time you want to host.
Poke
There’s no doubt that poke is among the most talked about food trends in the past two years, in Sydney in particular. Poke (pronounced pokay), also known as Poke Bowls, are similar to the messy sushi, which originated in Hawaii and all over the world. In the past, fishermen would make salads with their catch leftovers. This is the reason poké is named after.
Indeed, they weren’t buying $40 for a kilo of Ora King Salmon out of New Zealand, but they have developed a dish that has become a hit all over the world. It’s a huge hit in cities such as New York and LA.
The great thing about these bowls is that they’re easy, healthy, and high-impact. Poke bowls are always colorful, vibrant, and full of color. They’re gluten-free and vegan-friendly. Remove the fish and include marinated tofu, e.g., plant, or almost any other protein that’s vegan-friendly.
Famous fish restaurants Salmon & Bear are the first poke vendors to Sydney and are now offering poke catering tables for occasions. Poke catering is a good fit for a variety of boxes: healthy and delicious, trendy gluten-free, and vegetarian / pescetarian.
Mobile Pizza
Are you not sure about the raw fish? Do you not really care about being healthy? Take a look at the food that everyone loves: pizza but with a bonus of entertainment.
I don’t like pizza. Said no one ever. Everyone loves pizza, especially at parties. It’s simple, tasty, delicious, and the perfect example of food for a party. However, there’s nothing fun about placing an order online and then waiting for 60 minutes to get hot, soggy pizza boxes.
There’s also the question of what you should order. Which is your favorite? Do you know how many vegans are out there? Who doesn’t love olives (that is me!)? Are they cut into squares instead of slices?
Mobile Pizza Caterers, The Pizza Chefs, bring the pizza party. They’ve got a mobile pizza oven, set up all food items and toppings in front of the guests attending, and prepare everything from scratch in complete view. They handle all the details and take care of cleaning up.
This is a fantastic method to keep your guests entertained while you complete the other tasks on your agenda for planning an event. The guests are invited to master the art of spinning dough (make sure that you have a high ceiling) and then top their pizza with different ingredients set out on the table in front.
This is especially beneficial, especially if you have children. They are fond of playing with their hands, mixing the dough, and spinning it. From this angle, it’s an excellent photography opportunity as well.
Amazingly, the pizza oven is able to be utilized indoors with just a bit of ventilation, meaning that the space can be filled with the amazing smells of freshly cooked pizza.
There you go. Two fantastic catering options for your next gathering. If you’re planning to host a party and you’re planning to eat, food is one less aspect to be concerned about.
