What a lovely couple! Such a pleasure to work with. When Barrett, contacted me and asked me to cater a 40th and a Housewarming Party, we made a date to plan the menu together. I did the happy dance when they wanted an Italian Summer Theme menu to touch their passion for Positano…Aperol Spritz Cocktails, Fresh Pasta, Basil, Lemons, Fresh Mozzarella, San Marzano Tomatoes….be still my heart!
