We apologize for the lack of blogging lately; YaDa Chef has been exceptionally busy this summer.
Being a full service catering company in Fort (Ft) Lauderdale, serving south Florida from the Palm Beaches to the Keys, we have been all over the map.
Providing foods and catering services to medical offices as well as corporate offices, large and small, hot and cold, we are finding that many areas prefer certain types of foods. For instance, one office may love our Bordeaux Chicken (fresh organic chicken with baby Portobello mushrooms and onions simmered in a light red wine reduction), another company prefers our beef teriyaki (tender thin slices of beef, sautéed with yellow and red peppers along with onions served with both brown and white rice).
We suppose this is what corporate catering is all about. Finding the best fit for the office we are providing foods. Our menus are simply a jumping off point for our clients. Many requests for foods are varied, and in most cases, we are able to provide what ever our client(s) may require.
One job last week consisted of fresh Maine lobster tails, beef wellington (filet mignon wrapped in puff pastry with a YaDa Chef special combination of fresh mushrooms and other secret ingredients), braised asparagus along with roasted potatoes. This special catering job was held in Fort (Ft) Lauderdale as a thank you to a select group of staff for a corporate office. These foods were served on china, not disposables, and two YaDa Chef servers were there to present and serve the foods.
Then we have our personal chef and meals in advance clients. Lately, the more popular of the two is the meals in advance service. Our clients determine their menu for the following week; YaDa Chef cooks the foods and delivers to each client twice a week according to their schedule.
One of our meals in advance clients has a special dietary needs and we have created, along with the help of his nutritionist, a menu which is gluten free, diary free, and a host of other requirements set to ensure his health.
Other meals in advance clients use us to help loose weight. Others simply want to make their life a little easier. Being too busy to have delicious and nutritious meals is not an option.
With our pricing schedule for meals in advance, the more meals which are ordered for each day, of the same type, the lower we are able to make the price. YaDa Chef is aware of budgets and appreciates the ability to save money.
Since all our foods are purchased from local grocers, and staying within the organic guidelines, the more foods we are able to buy in bulk, the better we are able to pass on the savings to our clients and customers.
This week’s catering jobs will range from north Palm Beach, Miami Beach, Fort (Ft) Lauderdale, Pembroke Pines, Miramar, Wilton Manors, Boca Raton, Key Largo, and a few other cities. We know it is often difficult to obtain quality fresh foods so we offer our services up and down the Florida coast.
