FANDANGO Catering Adds Spanish Food to Its Dinner Menus


FANDANGO Catering has added Spanish dishes to its 2010 Dinner and Business Catering Menus.


A recent birthday gift from friends, Anya von Bremzen's The New Spanish Table has inspired our Executive Chef, Jesús Lumbreras-Calvo, a native of Madrid with family roots in Granada, Andalucía, Spain, to create his own interpretations of his favorite dishes from the book.

Here are the Spanish dishes we added to our Dinner and Business Catering Menus:
  • Catalán Guacamole
  • Cabrales-Stuffed Piquillo Peppers
  • Roasted Pepper Salad
  • Gazpacho Panzanella
  • Tortilla with Spanish Chorizo and Alioli (Bites)
  • Triple-Seafood Canapés
  • Manchego Crisps with Almonds
  • Tenderloin with Seared Strawberries
  • Roast Chicken Breasts with Apple and Quince Compote
  • Lemon Chicken with Honey and Saffron
  • Chicken in Almond and Saffron Sauce
  • Roast Chicken with Piquillo Gazpacho Sauce
  • Osuna-Style Chicken Flamenquines (chicken and ham rolls)
  • Chicken with Apples Braised in Cider
  • Potatoes and Red Peppers with Roasted Tomato Sauce
  • Potato and Onion Gratin with Alioli
  • Creamy Basque Risotto
  • Roasted Artichoke Hearts with Cognac
  • Baked Cherry Tomatoes with Garlic and Saffron Glaze
  • Cheesecake with Pine Nut-Sherry Glaze
  • Chocolate Custards in a Citrus Cloud
  • Alfredo's Toledo Chocolate Soufflé Cakes
These additions to our menus reflect the traditional flavors of Spain with contemporary flair and are perfect for dinner events.

We recommend Anya's book to anyone interested in Spanish food.

I first learned of Anya several years ago when she wrote a hilarious article for Saveur on her mother's recreation of Russian period dinners for their friends. My immediate connection to this was my minor in Russian as an undergrad. Anya lives mostly in Spain now and her book has many excellent recipes.


Here's to the pleasure of Spanish food!
