Hip, tasty & something your guests can ALL enjoy!
I would like to take the time to comment on some extra special menus we have created in honor of satisfying our vegan/vegetarian brides, while simultaneously blowing the minds of our carnivorous guests. And who says you can’t have your cake and eat it too?!
For some, this presents a conundrum: How does one create the menu of their dreams, who also has what some might consider extra special and unique interests in cuisine choices, while also making a lasting impression on those people, who in the grand scheme of things, whether we want to admit it or not, we want to impress as our guests? Simple, if it’s great, it’s great. There is no negotiation!
Here at the Winfield, we have more than met this request on multiple occasions. We continue to enjoy the expression of surprise from our guests when they bite into a Roasted Vegetable Empandita or Mini Porcini Sami, and they ask, “Really, there is no meat in this?” Or better yet, the guest who goes out of their way to share with us that at every event they are forced to nibble on fruit since just about everything has dairy in it these days; however, for the first time, they were able to celebrate in an entire 3 course menu with the entire menu being dairy free (thank you Fettuccine in the Raw with Basil-Parsley Pesto Sauce)! Our theories, if you know herbs and spices, then you know how to make food taste wonderful. You don’t need to be restricted by certain ingredients. For example, you love Risotto, but you don’t want the cream and butter. Our Risotto Asparagus achieves exactly that and only used with vegetable stock and olive oil. For you vegetarians, who feel like you never get to savor in a “fun pizza”, move over, our Caramelized Pear & Manchego Pizzettes will leave your mouth asking why this is the first time you have met!
In sum, delight the senses with the flavors of your choice; it is your wedding after all. But don’t think your choices have to be a compromise for the satisfaction of your guests. Simple, if it’s great, it’s great! Our Vegetarian/Vegan Menus continue to grow, feel free contact us with your requests.
