No sooner than we landed from a trip back home to Ireland were we submersed in catering the Inaugural Irish Film Festival in Beverly Hills, CA. One hundred and fifty people kicked off opening night and yes they were hungry. Lucky for us we out did ourselves and had plenty to offer.

Here’s a sample of our menu:

Atlantic Poached Salmon with Mary Rose Sauce
Chicken Satay with Peanut Sauce
Ballymaloe Quiche Piperonata
Potato & Spring Onion Salad tossed with French dressing Irish style
Carrot & Courgette Salad
Citrus Lentil & Couscous Salad
and of course
Homemade Brown Soda Bread Scones

“Dear Gavan and Christy,

On behalf of the entire Irish Film Festival of Los Angeles organization, I would like to extend our gratitude for your generous contribution.
I want to personally thank both of you for your amazing energy and enthusiasm not to mention the excellent and creative items you provided at our event.
Your participation in the opening night of the inaugural festival enabled us to provide our 150 guests with an elegant display of the best food any of us had consumed at an event. During the following days, countless number of individuals commented to me and others about the high quality of the food we served at the reception. Everyone was well fed and no one left the party hungry!
You are so thoughtful and made everything easy for me and I appreciated your kindness and talents very much.

Again, thank you for everything. I hope to have the pleasure of working with you in the near future.”
