Secret Ingredients hosted a cocktail party to celebrate the upcoming nuptials of Danny and Colleen. About thirty of their friends gathered at our home/headquarters where we entertained them on the deck and in the garden. We prepared light cocktail fare -- but true to form -- in ample quantities. The menu: Wine, Cocktails and Beer. Crudite with homemade hummus. Cucumber canapes with grapefruit scented sour cream and smoked salmon. Artichoke gratinee. Bruschetta con cecca. Miniature meatballs and marina. Potato crisps with smoked salmon spread scented with chives, lemon and tabasco. Kalamata olive and feta salad with lemon, extra-virgin olive oil and feta. And last but not least, chocolate jumbo cupcakes with chocolate ganache frosting.
Our guests were over the moon and I believe that everyone left well fed and well loved. Beautiful group of people. There was a moment when the bride and groom were toasting friends and family as I watched tears fall across the cheeks of our guests, I realized -- we are so lucky to bring this kind of happiness to people in the midst of their happiest memories. It's not just about a food. It's about helping people connect in a deep and meaningful way.
I hope all of our gigs go so smoothly. We are booked out this weekend and next. And really excited for our first SI's Secret Table gathering. Keep it coming!
Bon Appetit!
