Family Traditions and Heritages tie in with Culinary Secrets

By Kathy (Karousos) Gillet

Beautiful Wedding Cakes from our Culinary SchoolYour engagement is a time of great opportunity. It is during this time that you get to live out some of your childhood dreams – whether it's picking a dress that makes you feel like a princess or writing the vows that you and your prince charming will recite. It is a time when you and your family come together to make every detail of your impending celebration perfect. Your parents are an indispensable part of your wedding. Their personal tastes and beliefs will have an effect on your planning stages. This is the period of time when a bride and groom cultivate a new bond between the family, their family traditions and their heritages.

Wedding cuisine has become very sophisticated in recent years. The wedding meal has evolved into creatively prepared culinary delights with unusual ingredients and an eye toward presentation. When preparing the menu for the wedding, it becomes a time when families come together and incorporate their family traditions and heritages. For instance a hearty kale soup (preferably grandmother's recipe) to an aunt's recipe for traditional pastries and cookies or in my case- dad's famous recipe for baklava would be served with coffee or tea.

Fruit and Cheese BuffetIn wedding day conversation, the meat ranks with how lovely the bride and groom looked, to the arrangements used to accent the tables and how memorable the reception was. Whether guests congregate around the cheese and fruit display and marvel at the ice sculptures, or comparing their baked stuffed swordfish entrée to their guests grilled filet mignon with béarnaise or gaze in amazement at the vast dessert selections at the dessert buffet, the cuisine will indeed be a hot topic of the evening.

From a formal sit down dinner in the fanciest ballrooms and stateliest mansions to an open air affair in your backyard garden adding the warm personal touch to the celebration will depend on what is called "setting the scene." The food you choose will also set the tone for your party. Whether you choose to have a buffet or sit-down service depends in part on the type of party you're planning. A sit down dinner is definitely more formal. When people get all dressed up to attend a formal wedding, they want to be waited on. A sit down dinner is also generally best for a couple with a lot of older guests', who usually prefer not to wait in buffet lines, although buffet lines help create a more sociable atmosphere. Another way to create a more social atmosphere would be to have several food stations situated throughout one or several designated food areas opened for a certain time period.The Great Hall function room This allows guests to get their food when they want to. A lot of people think a buffet is less expensive than a sit down meal - this is simply false. Since guests can help themselves to as much food as they want, caterers must prepare more food to avoid the possibility of running out of something. A sit down meal requires more wait staff, but the overall price of a sit down event is usually equal or less than a buffet.

Overall, when planning your wedding there are many factors that come into play. The personal tastes of the bride and groom, their parents and families are the obvious major factors. Honestly though, planning a wedding can be fun, exciting, stressful and somewhat entertaining at times; but, the reason behind the party and all the plans is to celebrate the unity of the marriage and the commitment made in front of the couples closest family members and friends.

I wish you both the best of luck and Congratulations! – Kathy
