New trends in party planning

Chefettes are innovative in their ideas as they travel extensively; research new trends and continuously create new recipes. So what are the latest party catering trends according to the experts?

Floating Suppers: Over the past few years, Chefettes has seen a change in year-end functions from traditional corporate sit-down dinners to the ease of cocktail parties. The cocktail meals are presented in small bowls and baskets and passed around on trays by waiters.

TAPAS - The Summer Way of Eating: For those who prefer a smaller, more intimate and informal gathering, there is Mediterranean Tapas, essentially snacks that originated from Spain. Tapas are an ideal way to entertain on an informal level and the meals can be presented outside - alfresco style.

Theatre Dinners and Picnics: Another growing trend among corporate companies is hosting an evening at the theatre or a picnic in the park for their employees. The popular Barnyard Theatre is suggested as a hub for corporate functions. To complement this emerging trend Chefettes offer picnic hampers.

Chefettes can also provide a venue with a difference: Sky Raiders Venue and Conference Centre at Rand Airport - an aeroplane hanger that has been converted into a venue on the runway - offers state of the art facilities and the combination of flight and food in one venue is really "taking off".
