A Moroccan Meal











When we were asked to put together a Moroccan themed spread for the Association of Bridal Consultants, I couldn’t help but flash on the Christmas episode of The Office. If you aren’t a fan of the show… there just might be something wrong with you, and you may not relate to parts of this blog post. In the episode, Phyllis, the head of the party planning committee, describes to one of her coworkers how to create and display pita triangles on a platter. The walls were draped with colorful swags of fabric, and people dressed in traditional Moroccan clothing. The evening’s festivities included one of the employees setting her hair on fire and eventually ending up in a rehabilitation clinic.
Fortunately, the evening we catered followed a different path. As you can see by the pictures, the décor was fabulous, and the spread was delicious. Our Chefs were given the theme and they created an amazing menu. Some of the Moroccan offerings included;
Baklava
Moroccan Spiced Salmon Cakes
Tzaziki
Couscous on a Romaine leaf
Chicken Skewers with Marrakesh Dipping Sauce
Dried Fruits
Olive Tampenade
