Last Wednesday The Dinner Belle Catering Company and their crew (which included myself) successfully completed an event for Parlux.
Parlux, the celebrity perfume makers for Macy’s sold thousands of dollars of Queen Latiefa’s new scent, ” Queen.” Maybe it was the perfume itself, or the amazing sales strategy of Parlux, but personally, I think it was out food and signature, “Mambo Queen” cocktails that did the job.
Our cooking schedule included a three course meal with canapes, 3 entrees, and 2 desserts (in addition to a dessert “bar”). The space itself was BEAUTIFUL … and expensive, but well worth it. A multiple story condo in the West Village that channeled both a French Country and Bohemian feel, with a little bit of Adam’s Family haunted house.
The canapes included a watermelon feta stack, a ceviche atop a sliced strawberry, and a crustini topped with roasted beats and blue cheese. Our starter, a brown buttered roasted butternut squash ravioli topped with gingersnaps and fried sage leaves. Followed by either a veggie or seafood bouillabaisse with artichokes.
Overall, the event was a success! Beautiful, fun, exhausting, and overall a wonderful experience!
