On June 24, 2010 Main Event Productions introduced our newest and most exciting division called Fantastic Flipbooks.  This was launched at our Open House where all the sister divisions-The Bake Shoppe, A Catered Affair, and Events @1418-were all dressed up to help introduce this newest addition to our Nashville friends!

Here’s a look at what A Catered Affair was dishing out…

Mediterranean Pita Trio:  Mini Pita Pockets filled with guests’ choice of our signature thinly sliced pastrami and drizzled with tzatziki sauce, grilled vegetable with feta cheese or a grilled sausage with relish.

Teatime Tomatoes:  Cherry tomatoes hollowed and piped with a mild curried bean mixture and garnished with parsley while served on bed of kosher salt

Chilled Honey Cucumber Gazpacho

Seared Mahi-Mahi with wild mushroom powder and smoky salsa on flat bread toast

Mini Salad Stacks Action Station – Pre stacked mini salads that are then transferred onto a plate in which guests can drizzle with a spicy blueberry or sweet green chili vinaigrette

Your choice of Lemon, Chocolate, or Raspberry Mini Mousse Cups

Our guests also enjoyed our bar station where our latest and greatest lemonade with fresh mint was served alongside of our spiked lemonade cocktails!  Glasses of Red Cherry Lifesaver Lemonade, Lynchburg Lemonade, and Peach Margaritas finished the evening and all around delightful event!

Many of our clients who opt for no alcohol at their event still want fun and festive beverages.  We played around in the kitchen last week and made some new tasty lemonades — Blood Orange Lemonade, Mint Meyer Lemonade (mentioned a couple posts back)  and Strawberry Lemonade.

Fruit Garnish for Lemonade Bar

We have had so many clients who opt not to have alcohol present at their event.  Sometimes it is just not appropriate to have alcohol, sometimes it is not affordable — there are many reasons why alcohol will not be part of a party — wedding or otherwise.

I do not have a single client who wants BORING — so what can we do to be less BORING on non alcoholic beverage stations — well, lemonade bars have been quite popular.

We played with some lemons recently – as well as other fruit to make some new recipes.  Blood orange lemonade turned out quite nicely — took a few hours to play around and come up with a good sweet and sour ratio.

This picture of Meyer lemons — they taste a great as they look!  We did a Meyer lemonade for our bar. Slightly sweeter than traditional lemons and definitely more colorful!
