So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

The Reasons For Special Event Catering

By Ines Brennan


Special event catering refers to the activity of getting specific people with experience in the cooking sector, to prepare meals for a given event. The people are normally hired at an agreed fee and the contract is terminated at the end of that day.

These groups may just be specialized in cooking for similar events. They may also be part of the catering team of a very prominent hotel. The organizers of the event usually approach the cooks and present their interests. They then agree on the various terms and conditions of service for them to deliver the expected activities. Sometimes, the cooks may be the ones seeking tenders of that nature, which may or may not be given to them.

Selection of the groups to participate in this activity depends on very many factors. The most important is how well the group is known for its cookery skills, or rather how well that particular group has been performing in the past events. Other factors such as the hiring fee may be considered. Also, accessibility and the level of customer service by the groups may influence the choice of the group to be given the tender.

The use of such groups usually has got a series of advantages. Once their job description has been presented to them, they usually are in full control of the meals preparation. The owners of the occasion do not have to concern themselves anymore with that sector because they have their own head cook who oversees that everything is done as expected. Also, the use of such catering groups in itself is a show of organization as well as orderliness. It may also be a show of prestige.

There however also are disadvantages of using such organizations. For instance, they may not make very quality meals, especially if the group is a very new one and people lack experience on the meals that have been organized to serve the event. Some groups may also be too expensive to afford. Others may inflate the cost of ingredients, leading to loses on the part of the employer.

The well established groups of cooks are really convenient and have the capacity to deliver even beyond the expectations of their employer. Some of these groups usually have their own means of transport. This means, the event organizers do not have to worry about how they travel to the destination. Also, they have their own cooking equipment and even portable kitchens. Hence, the only provisions they need are ingredients or money to purchase them.

The cooks have various methods of creating public awareness on their existence. A number may use posters in different hotels. Those well established ones may opt to have more decent advertisements through the print and electronic media.

Special event catering as an activity has become extremely prominent. Many people who wish to have well organized occasions have resorted to seeking the services of these groups in order to make their work easier and also ensure their occasions are well planned in terms of meals.
