Fandango Catering Offers More Spring Event Food Trends

Building on our earlier blog post on food trends for spring events and weddings, today we offer 4 more food trends for spring events and weddings.

Seafood or sausage and fruit kebabs, or unusual meat kebabs--Mixing savory and sweet tastes, offerings like halibut or shrimp and mango, shrimp and mixed seasonal fruit, or scallops and strawberries announce that spring is here and appeal to all ages, children to seniors. Add an interesting sauce that combines savory with a sweet note and your guests will love these kebabs! Or serve chicken or pork kebabs with a spicy marinade such as Spanish pinchos morunos or cilantro chicken or tandoori spears. 

Unusual sliders--Salmon, lamb, chicken tikka, pork, combined with interesting condiments and mayos like mint-chutney for the tikka sliders or lemon dill for the salmon sliders.  Puff pastry, brioche, and other luxe "breads" add a great touch.

Seafood cocktails--Crab and avocado shooters, yuzu crabtinis, unusual shrimp cocktails, all served in interesting glasses--martinis, long shooters, tulip glasses, sake cups, and other unusual serving glasses

Meat-based lollipops--Lollipops have resurged this year and are fun and unusual.  Pecan-crusted lamb lollipops with a luxe sauce like port or marsala cream,  spicy chicken or pork...They're a bit of work but if you're looking for that special touch for your event the lollipops have it!

Any or all of these take your event from humdrum to outstanding.


Warmly,

Kristina
