Nourish & Feast Catering/Cooking Demos

Catering

Welcome to Nourish & Feast, where modern Mediterranean cooking takes center stage. My mission is to redefine the catering experience, offering fresh and flavorful food that is healthy at the same time – what a concept!


Nourishing the Body: At Nourish & Feast, we focus on in-house boutique catering. I work with my client to create carefully crafted menus providing a harmonious balance of nutrients and flavors, embracing the renowned Mediterranean diet known for its health benefits with a few twists. Phytonutrient-rich, colorful vegetables, heart-healthy olive oil, grass-fed and wild fresh fish, quality grains, and fresh herbs come together in a perfect union, offering a delicious and healthy way to enjoy any party. Whether you're hosting a dinner for 10 or a larger event (up to 60-80 people) my catering ensures that your guests will savor every bite.


A Boutique Culinary Experience: No two events are alike, and neither should the catering. All menus can be tailored to suit culinary preferences and dietary requirements. I work in your home, so the food is freshly made and served that day vs. many catering companies that cook food for parties sometimes 3 days in advance – who wants to eat leftovers? I provide a server, bartender, and kitchen help when needed.


Elevate Your Event: Make your next gathering a memorable affair with Nourish & Feast. My commitment to excellence, passion for healthy eating and living, and dedication to the art of modern Mediterranean cuisine with a twist will ensure that you and your guests will enjoy an occasion of mindful feasting sure to enrich everyone’s tastebuds.

Cooking Demos

I create healthy modern Mediterranean cooking demos in your home that are engaging and educational, and is a wonderful way to inspire your guests to embrace a nutritious lifestyle.

  1. I choose recipes that showcase the principles of healthy Mediterranean cooking with some deviation depending on the menu, selecting dishes that are flavorful, diverse, and incorporate a variety of fresh ingredients.
  2. My focus is on gluten and dairy-free cooking, but this can change depending on the audience.
  3. I work in your home and prepare most of the food in advance the day of the demo (usually a few hours before the event) to keep me organized during the demo and help you and your guests enjoy the food.
  4. I emphasize fresh ingredients highlighting the benefits of incorporating seasonal fruits and vegetables, quality gluten-free whole grains, lean proteins, quality fish, and healthy fats into daily meals.
  5. Sharing the health benefits associated with Mediterranean cuisine, and healthy ingredients from salt to types of oils helps to highlight why eating well can make a difference during the demos.
  6. A topic of the evening may be lymphatic health and immune function, the gut and oral microbiome and much more helps to encourage discussion.
  7. My focus is on balanced meals showcasing how Mediterranean cooking promotes a balanced eating approach.
  8. There is red and white wine provided at each event, and sometimes a cocktail or mocktail. Everyone tastes healthy portions of each finished dish to taste and enoy. This allows your guests to experience all the flavors firsthand encouraging them to try cooking my recipes at home.
  9. I provide recipe handouts in printed form and can provide digital copies if needed. 
  10. Fostering conversations about healthy eating habits, ingredient substitutions, and ways to incorporate Mediterranean flavors into everyday meals is an important part of each event.

I am always enthusiastic, engaging, and approachable during my cooking demos. My passion for healthy cooking and eating will inspire you and your guests to make positive changes in their own kitchens.
