As a group,
formed to raise money
in aid of aged care,
health and disadvantaged youth
in our town
our original charter said no catering
well....
that lasted about 5 minutes didn't it
and now all we do is catering
we are home and family cooks
some of us with a great interest in food
some with a great sense of style
all of us willing to work our hearts out for a good cause
so...
I thought you might like to see how we went
organising a birthday buffet lunch for 70
The day was beautiful and the venue was this
hand crafted three sided shed
setting the tables takes about
2 hours and the hostess wanted it simple
finally getting there
but twining the happy wanderer
down the middle took longer than we thought!
but at last it was finished
these are our sweet savoury mince pies
forgot to take photos of the rest!!!
our incredibly beautiful pumpkin salad
Oh dear I keep forgetting to take the photo at the beginning
and whilst the guest were eating we all sneaked out the back
for our own lunch of salad roll and a wee small drink!
goodnight
Love this. I would help if I were there.
ReplyDeleteNever heard of a pumpkin salad....
Everything looked beautiful.

Wow Julienne, this all looked fabulous! The table setting is simple but beautiful and the photos of the food look amazing! It must have been such hard work, but I bet everyone had a marvelous time! ~ Tina x
ReplyDeleteMay I just say that as much time as it took to trail the happy wanderer, it was well worth it. Visual eye-candy. I'd have fainted when I heard 70.
ReplyDeleteCountry cooks are just the best - I'm sure you'll rock the local foodie world with your combined expertise Julienne.
