This Chocolate Mousse is a great recipe for the whole family to make together. It’s a good introduction to cooking for kids because it teaches them that a little precision and a little patience can produce something that looks and tastes like magic.

(Waiting for the mousse to set before you can eat it also shows kids the importance of the adult virtue of delayed gratification, but that’s another story.)

Everyone can be involved in this recipe. An adult can chop the chocolate, the kids can take turns separating the eggs and whisking the egg yolks and then egg whites (though an adult with some dessert experience should keep a careful eye on the egg whites-if they’re over-beaten, the mousse will be grainy).

This recipe has everything you need for Valentine’s day: chocolate, sharing, overindulgence and visual splendor.

It’s a version of a Swiss favorite. If you’ve ever been to a Swiss fondue restaurant, you usually start with a savory fondue made with cheese and finish with a chocolate fondue served with cake and fruit. The whole drama lies in dipping different flavorful garnishes in a rich, complex sauce.

Most Chocolate Fondues are made with bittersweet chocolate, but I find that the bittersweet is too intense by itself, so I like to mellow it out with a little milk chocolate.

When we think of the food that we serve for a Super Bowl party, it’s hard not to find a place for some kind of dip — some creamy, tangy, spicy concoction to complement something crispy like a potato chip, nacho, or celery stick.

The great thing about the idea of a ‘dip’ — a purely American concept, just like the Super Bowl — is that it is so versatile and wide ranging. Guacamole is Mexican, hummus is Middle Eastern, and mayonnaise is French, but when you think of these three dishes as dips, then they suddenly become American.

This quick and easy Parmesan Mayonnaise recipe is great as a dip for vegetables, chips, or even meat. It can also be turned into a deliciously browned, cooked topping for a toast or a pizza shell. Just preheat your broiler, spread the mayonnaise thinly on the bread or dough, and cook until golden and bubbly.

There are plenty of events we plan to have catered in our lives: work, holiday, graduation, and anniversary parties all come to mind, and wedding catering is definitely at the top of the list. What’s not typically at the forefront of our minds, though, is funeral catering.

We all know the day could come for our family members and even ourselves, but the event is often a surprise and can’t be planned for easily. It’s certainly wise to find catering services for the event to take some stress off of yourself, but don’t let your grief cloud judgment when choosing those catering services.

You can count on Etai’s Catering for funeral catering, but we recommend holding every catering company — including ours — accountable to the five key aspects below.

When you’re looking into corporate catering, it can feel like there are a thousand tasks to cross off your to-do list.

You need to determine the location, secure the catering company, decide on the menu, and — don’t forget! — have both vegetarian and gluten-free options for your employees.

The list can certainly feel daunting and overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to. When you work with Etai’s Catering for corporate catering in the Denver area, you’ll have food that your vegetarian and gluten-free employees alike will love, and your employees without dietary restrictions will love it, too!

When hosting an event, one of the most important aspects to consider is the food spread.

This is particularly true when you are hosting an event with dozens — or even hundreds — of people in attendance.

Those people are going to have a wide range of pallets, tastes, and of course dietary restrictions.

How can you, as the event organizer and/or host, be certain that you are going to please everyone? While that may not always be possible, you can at least give it your best shot.

When it comes to providing breakfast, lunch, or even dinner to the guests at your next event, one thing you want to keep in mind is the gluten-free crowd.

What are some viable gluten-free catering ideas? Keep reading to find out and contact Etai’s — the very best in fresh and gluten-free catering in Denver — today.

Planning a special event can be hectic.

You have to organize all of the details, from the big ones (time, location, type of event) down to the minute ones that few will even notice (decor, music, lighting, etc.).

But don’t freak out just yet, because Etai’s Catering is here to help.

When planning for a catered event, the last thing you want to do is have too little food. But even worse is having too much food.

Food is the highlight of any occasion.

It’s how we plan our days (and evenings).

It’s how we map out our trips to the grocery stores.

And it’s what we highlight during any event planning process.

When the time comes to figure out the food for your special event — whether it’s a birthday party, retirement celebration, graduation fiesta, or just about any other shindig imaginable — you only have but a few options.

You can cook all of the food yourself, which requires a whole lot of planning, trips to the grocery store(s), and exhausting hours in the kitchen.

If cooking isn’t quite your thing, then you can also consider hosting a potluck-style event — though somehow it seems those types of parties always end up with too many bags of chips, tubs of potato salads, store-brand cookies, and not a single main dish.

Or, you can avoid all of these hassles and headaches with special events catering from your local catering company.

5-Reasons-Why-You-Should-Hire-A-Catering-Company-5afc53291aa15.jpeg

When it comes to event planning, one aspect that you want to make sure you get right is the food spread.

Whether it’s a corporate lunch, a week-long business conference, a glamorous wedding reception, or even a graduation celebration, you want to make sure that your guests are satisfied and nourished.

In fact, the food offerings might even be a deciding factor as to whether people judge your event as a success or something more “meh.” The food might even help them decide whether or not they’ll come at all!

So in order to help your event go off without any hiccups, you need someone who is going to be able to provide not just a wide assortment of food, but also fresh, delicious food.

With all of the other things you have to juggle prior to, and during, the event, there’s just no way that you can dedicate the proper time to the spread.

And nobody wants grocery store sandwiches and off-brand chips, after all.
