Upscale\u00a0BBQ<\/h2>
\"kissthecook00001\"<\/a><\/div>

Moving away from traditional burger and sausage barbeque fare, Kiss the Cook Catering<\/a> predicts more high quality ingredients and flavours in 2015. Dishes will be influenced by Southern flavours and Cajun seasonings with menus offering items such as deep-fried okra, crab shacks, fried chicken and jambalaya. We\u2019ll also be seeing more BBQ weddings in 2015, with menu items such as slow smoked ribs, spicy jerk chicken, blackened red snapper, truffle mac ‘n cheese and creole salads.<\/p>

Vegetarian Gourmet<\/h2>

Yorkshire Pudding Inc.<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0predicts we are going to see a\u00a0push towards plant-based food items that are “satisfying yet sexy”. Their mouth-watering creation above is a roasted heirloom beet with crumbled pistachio, goat cheese, citrus and micro basil. We don’t think you’ll be missing the meat in this delicious bite!<\/p>

Deliciously Healthy with a View<\/h2>

L-eat Catering<\/a>‘s<\/strong>\u00a0Executive Chef Tony\u00a0Loschiavo sees 2015 food trends leaning towards\u00a0healthier\u00a0foods comprised of green vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. “These dishes will be accompanied by sauces made from veggies and herbs, replacing sauces that traditionally were made using butter, cream, and\/or animal fats.” Pictured above is one of Tony’s healthy creations;\u00a0roasted pickerel, on top a bed of toasted fregola with wild leeks and salsa verde with a side salad composed of parsnips, carrots and\u00a0brussel sprouts.<\/p>

The Substantial Pass Menu<\/h2>

Treeline Catering<\/a> says that more and more people are drawn to their Substantial Pass menu over a plated or buffet style service. \u00a0“The incredible variety means that guests are encouraged to choose dishes they adore from the servers as they are brought into the guest area, as opposed to being served pre-selected dinner plates.” Pictured above: a\u00a0lovely small plate of tortellini in marinara sauce!<\/p>

Charcuterie Boards<\/h2>

Who doesn’t love a\u00a0a good\u00a0Charcuterie board? TASTE Culinary Inc<\/a> predicts big things\u00a0for our meaty friends in\u00a02015! Featuring gourmet smoked meats and pickled accompaniments these beautiful boards taste as amazing as they look!<\/p>

Under\u00a0The Sea<\/h2>
\"cateringphotos0003\"<\/a><\/div>

Chef Kai of City Gourmet<\/a> tells us that seafood will once again be a hot item in 2015. “Specifically, lobster and shrimp will be popular given the recent affordability and abundance within Canada.”\u00a0<\/em>There are so many options when it comes to choosing a seafood option for your event. Gone are the days of shrimp skewers and fried pieces of fish. Today’s caterers are experimenting with new varieties of fish and new ways of presenting them to guests.<\/p>

This looks like\u00a0the Vegan-ing of Something Special<\/h2>
\"cateringphotos0002\"<\/a><\/div>

Executive Chef Daniel Holloway of Urban Acorn<\/a> reminds us that there are so many options available for couples looking for a vegan option to both satisfy guest requests and provide a meal that is truly unique.\u00a0“In 2015 we will continue to see a rise in refined vegan cuisine with flavours presented that will rival any meat dish!”.\u00a0<\/em>With dishes like the Warm Vegan Harvest salad (pictured above) we believe he just might be right about that!<\/p>

Themed Menus for Themed Events<\/h2>
\"foodudes0001\"<\/a><\/div>

Food Dudes<\/a> tell us that themed menus are going to be big in 2015! “We love to work with our client’s themes and create a menu that works\u00a0perfectly for each one. We create diverse and dynamic menus pulling from different\u00a0<\/em>ethnicities and eras from around the world. Every menu that we create is customized\u00a0to the taste and style of each client. ” \u00a0<\/em>The Vietnamese Spring Roll stand (pictured above)\u00a0is a perfect example of custom cuisine\u00a0suited specifically for a Client’s themed event.<\/p>

Comfort Food With A Twist!<\/h2>
\"1cateringphotos0001\"<\/a><\/div>

Chef Roshan from Encore Catering<\/a> says “I\u00a0think classic comfort foods with a twist will become more and more popular in 2015. For example, we created Chilli-Chocolate Nutella Poppers. It\u2019s the comfort of the sweet and savoury combination that transforms this dessert into a comfort food, creating something that is truly unique and memorable.\u00a0I believe chefs will continue to experiment with different combinations for their own classic comfort food creations, so they can spark excitement and\u00a0curiosity for their guests.\u201d<\/em><\/p>

Popsicle Pete Ain’t Got Nothing on These!<\/h2>

Daniel et Daniel Catering & Events<\/a> says there’s a whole new catalogue of chill ways to enhance your summer (or winter) event – Popsicles! But forget the popsicles mom used to bribe you with to be good – these popsicles take on a whole new level of sophistication:\u00a0Bellini, Poached Pear and Riesling, and Sangria Boozy are just some of the flavours that are being offered.\u00a0 Other flavours that are super popular are Salted Caramel Apple, Key Lime, Blood Orange Panna Cotta, Watermelon Mint and Pineapple Cilantro to name a few\u2026<\/p>

Stevenson"},"description":"Six years into this action-packed, thrilling and incredible industry and loving every minute of it! Being the Lead Editor at EventSource means I get to experience a whole new level of wedding and special event amazing-ness! Every morning I open up my inbox to a whole new set of jaw-dropping event photos submitted by the industry\u2019s top leaders and get to share their work with you! Of course, all work and no play makes Amy a dull girl. I love giving back as well! I\u2019m a huge animal lover and wish I could have a house full of dogs. Alas, I cannot so I volunteer my time to a local charity raising funds to help build a new animal shelter. As the Chair of Fundraising, I help plan and coordinate their signature fundraising events including the annual \u201cGimme Shelter Gala\u201d. When I\u2019m not writing or attending events, you can find me playing trains with my nephews, trying to make a dent in the ever-growing stack of books everyone says I should read, enjoying a good cup of tea or catching a Zumba fitness class!","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca"],"url":"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/blog\/author\/amy-stevenson"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6131","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6131"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6131\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/69132"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6131"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6131"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6131"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
