When long-time friend Angie Nevarez, Director of Weddings at
Creative Edge, invited me to a private tasting to check out their current menu, I couldn't accept the invitation fast enough. Wonderful company, great food, a pristine atmosphere, attentive service, customized menu -- all in the name of diligent party-planner "homework", how could I refuse?!
The food was a delight to the eye (note all the fab serving ware), perfectly bite-sized and delicious. When a caterer does it right, it's so, so good. Enjoy!
 |
| We arrived to their West Village kitchen and office to this beautiful table |
 |
| Creative Edge's menus are the best around -- great photos and a clear lay-out let you know what you're options are |
 |
| Even the flowers coordinate in their pristine space |
 |
| The Creative Edge motif is the egg, a solid display egg was replaced with this crab filled, hollowed out egg |
 |
| We could add notes to each item we tasted, all I wrote was "yum", "double yum" and "yowza" |
 |
| Curried vermicelli and Vietnamese basil in rice paper |
 |
| Filet mignon on bruschetta with red wine mayonnaise and carmelized shallots |
 |
| Tiny fish taco with grilled mahi, chunky chipotle mayo on a bed of black beans (the beans help them stand!) |
 |
| Hazelnut grapes, cucumbers, extra virgin olive oil and chives |
 |
| Artichoke fondue with oregano-pine nut puff |
 |
| My favorite, Hamptons Succotash tart with Long Island corn, lima beans, yellow tomato marmalade |
 |
| A prosciutto BLT -- what would you brand on your toast? (customization available) |
 |
| Just to give you a sense of how bite-size it is! |
 |
| Tipsy Vegetable Terrine with pickled carrot, pencil asparagus, roasted red pepper |
 |
| Our first course was a quail egg with jumbo asparagus, spring leek terrine and meyer lemon vinaigrette |
 |
| And then the delicious steak -- at this point it was hard to eat more.... |
 |
| ...but we somehow found room for the Bourbon Butter Pecan Milkshake |
 |
| And cake truffles... |
 |
| And Pie Pops |
 |
| The Chocolate Caramel Tartlets were delicious, but by this time we were delirious and on a food high |
 |
| As we were getting ready to leave we caught a glimpse of a Creative Edge truck getting ready to deliver these delicious treats to some lucky clients.... |
