Monday’s Money Saving Recipe

Lemon Meringue Pie

I had to make some sample desserts for a client this morning, so I made a couple extra for our dessert.

We ended up with a choice of one chocolate mousse, four mini sticky date puddings and two lemon tarts.

Here is the recipe for the lemon tart.

Makes 4 medium size tarts

Ingredients

1 x tin of condensed milk

2 x eggs

½ cup lemon juice

2 cups plain flour

150g butter

4 tbsp water

⅓ cup Icing sugar

Method

Put condensed milk, egg yolks and lemon juice in a saucepan and stir over low heat for 5-10 minutes.

Mix flour, butter and water in a processor (or with your hands) till a sticky dough forms. Divide and press into individual tart cases.

Blind bake for 10-15 minutes on 180’c

Beat egg whites, until soft peaks form, add icing sugar gradually until stifff peaks form.

Pour lemon mixture into tart cases.

Pipe or spread egg whites on top.

Put back in the oven for 10 minutes.

Eat warm or put in the fridge to eat cold later.

Client Testimonials

Thanks so much for catering for our little cocktail party yesterday.The food was absolutely delicious, everyone commented how lovely it was.  Thanks to Sophie too, she was a great bar person…everyone seemed to enjoy themselves, just a pity we couldn’t have stuck with Plan A, without the rain.

I wanted to thank you very much for the excellent manner in which you and your girls catered for our party on the 29^th March.
The food was excellent and we had very complimentary remarks from our guests, two of whom had operated a successful restaurant for 10 years. 
I was also impressed by the efficient manner in which you arrived, unloaded and cooked the food, then left the kitchen looking sparkling clean.
A number of people commented on how pleasant and friendly the girls were as they passed the trays around, engaging in a little conversation with the various guests.
All in all, a very successful evening – our friends enjoyed themselves, as did we!!  Thanks for your help in achieving this.  I would not hesitate to recommend you and your company and in fact have already done so.
Wishing you continued success, I will contact you again next time we have a function.

I was just wanting to say thank you so much for making Saturday night such a success for us.  As you know I was already not feeling well but the way you guys came in and took over and organised everything was amazing. Angus and I had such a fabulous evening and we had so many compliments about the food and how much people had enjoyed themselves that the night could not have gone any better.  Even weather wise the rain held off for us. I found out from numerous people that it seemed to be raining all over Sydney so we were very lucky.
Could you also thank the staff for me as well as they were all fabulous as well.
Wishing you all the best for the future and the next time we need catering we will definitely be back in touch.

The cocktail party was a great success and a wonderful opportunity for us to thank our many supporters.
You really did a fabulous job and so many people commented on the beautiful food.
Both you and your staff were delightful to work with and I really did appreciate your willingness to help ensure that the evening was a success.
I was particularly grateful to you for assisting me in packing up after the event.
Due to your help I was home (and warm) so much earlier – thank you!

6 of the best canapés to serve at a party

There are so many options of what to serve at a party, it can be hard to decide which are the dishes that your guests will write home about. At Salt of the Earth Catering, our clients are always asking 'what are your most popular dishes?'. So today we are sharing the six platters that are guaranteed to get your guests talking.

1. Roast beef and horseradish cream on parmesan crisps.

Soft, melt-in-your-mouth roast beef, a smooth dollop of cream and a crunchy parmesan crisp - the textures alone make this canapé one not-to-be-missed. But what makes this dish a star is a unique knock-out flavour combination. The subtle hint of horseradish creeps in amongst the rare roast beef slices, with the final punch delivered by the crispy cooked parmesan. Delish!

2. Pork belly bites with caramelised apple

Pork crackling is a luxury for many of us - it can be tough to get it right but when you do, you can be sure that the whole family will be fighting over every last bit. Our pork belly bites are no exception. Bite-size pieces of pork belly with crackling on top are paired with their perfect counterpart - caramelised apple. Just be sure to order enough - our guests have been known to scramble for the last one.

3. Sesame-seared tuna with ginger

Seared ever so gently on either side and coated with sesame seeds, our tuna remains bright pink in the middle. Topped with the soft pink of pickled ginger, these become a stunning coloured display floating around your party. A real crowd-pleaser, this match made in heaven is served with both soy sauce and wasabi mayonnaise.

4. Peking duck pancakes

Duck pancakes, everyone's favourite entree, also make it onto our hit list. Rarely do we see someone turn away one of these Chinese classics. Peking duck, shallots, thin slices of cucumber and the hero - Hoi Sin sauce are all wrapped up in a soft pancake to make these beauties.

5. Caramelised onion and goats cheese tarts

To make these vegetarian delights, we place a generous amount of sweet caramelised onion in a shortcrust pastry tart, and top with a dollop of soft goats cheese and a sprig of thyme. The result is an utterly lip-smacking sensation sure to impress your guests.

6. Trio of desserts

So you've already wowed your guests with your savoury treats, and just when they think they are too full to eat any more, you bring out the pièce de résistance, a trio of desserts. We make mouthfuls of lemon meringue pie, tiramisu and chocolate mousse in shot glasses - the perfect size for just a taste of each (believe us, they'll want one of each!). These will ensure your guests go home on a high (even if it's just a sugar high).

North Shore Catering

Catering North Shore

Well planned menus are a tremendous help for anyone planning to host an event and to derive the fullest benefits from planned menus, you need to consider the different types of foods. Of course the colour and appearance of food will have a tremendous effect on the appetite, along with scrupulously clean table linen, polished cutlery and gleaming china and glassware. If you are not an expert at making rich pastries or stuffing loin or shoulder of lamb, there are catering North Shore companies who offer services to the suburbs of Sydney as well as the CBD, Eastern and Western suburbs.

Delectable Menus to Suit Adults and Children

Healthy, active kids are going to require foods which offer staying power while a diabetic person will require foods which have been prepared according to a doctor's strict diet sheet. It can be a huge relief knowing that skilled chefs and other staff from a reputable catering company are able to assist you with any event of yours and cater for special dietary requests. Pleasing everyone always promises events that run smoothly and professionally.

Skilled Chefs Know Digestion Begins in the Eye

You can't do a first rate job with second rate materials, and reliable oven and catering equipment contributes significantly to the success in catering. The best catering companies cater for events ranging from private dinners to weddings and Christmas parties; no event is too big or too small and there is always capable staff to ensure every need and request is adhered to.
If you are planning to have a black tie event or a casual event, catering North Shore experts take into account the amount of guests you are catering for, realizing that precision is the most important factor when setting tables. They know only too well that the best appetizers are well laid tables and the way the food is served. Whether you are having a corporate event or you are catering for children, catering North Shore companies are skilled at the art of garnishing and with them a succulent roast for a Christmas party will look all the more appetizing if it surrounded by lovely golden roast potatoes and maybe interspersed with some buttered carrots.

Cocktail Snacks a Specialty

For a special birthday party, catering North Shore specialists always make use of the tastiest sauces for their dishes as they believe sauces and dips are the hallmark of good cooking when it comes to serving canapes, savouries and cocktail snacks. With the ever growing need to entertain lavishly at small intimate birthday parties, catering experts have all the expertise necessary with the preparation of dainty savoury snacks. They know there are many guests who often prefer something savoury for a morning tea party over sweet cakes. With these events the catering team always aim at variety and colour and arrange canapes for instance on attractive plates which they will garnish with carefully cut cucumber pieces to add a splash of freshness and colour.

Freshest and Tastiest for Your Events

Catering North Shore specialists can be counted on to provide personalized attention for your event and they make sure they deliver services of value which include top quality ingredients and amazingly tasty food. Salt of the Earth serve the freshest of food, whether your wishes are to have an event where the food is gluten free, where the emphasis is on sea foods, beverage food, meats, vegetarian or where the food requirements are that the menu is as sweet or as decadent as you can imagine.
From delicious soups to sandwiches, fish, poultry salads and dressings to mouth watering sweets and pastries for adults and children alike, Salt of the Earth is a catering company who know how to turn any event into something where people talk about the appearance, flavour and textures of each tasty morsel for ages.
