Health Held In Hand has provided in-house dinner party chef services all over the valley however one of our most recent was quite unique. The dinner party was held in a stunning home in Queen Creek, Arizona. A group of 20 friends, relatives and co-workers gathered together to share an evening in of delicious food paired with a fantastic wine tasting in light of the holiday season.
Crispy Mozzarella Mushroom Crostini
The evenings menu was prepared with the idea of marrying courses with white and red wines throughout the dinner party. For the Appetizer course we created a special crostini prepared with sautéed mushrooms, fresh mozzarella and arugula. As a final flavor chef Robbie added a raspberry-onion glaze dollop. Pairing with the sample white wines selected by the dinner party host, each guest requested seconds of the crostini appetizer.
A Slice Of Ranch Salad
Second course was salad and the host selected our wedge salad. Partygoers had the option of ranch or bleu cheese dressing. Each wedge salad was topped with sliced cherry tomatoes, shredded carrot, diced red onion, bacon bits and bleu cheese crumbles by request. Salad course was a smashing success as the chatter among the group really kicked up with the occasional outburst of laughter. This dinner party was truly a great place to be.
During the salad course there was a special gift for everyone at every table. Health Held In Hand was honored to have served our salad course on some very special china. As part of her 16 full place setting dinnerware set, one party goer brought salad plates for the dinner along with a story. While her brother was in Japan her mother had requested that he bring back a dinnerware set with this specific design. What a special treat to serve the finest quality food on what are some of the most beautiful plates we have ever used to serve salad. Marguerite Josephine, we thank you and your beautiful 50+ year old china.
The Hearty Holiday Chicken Parm
On to the main course, Chicken Parmesan with pasta and red sauce. Chicken Parm always pairs well with red wine. As a hearty holiday main course we agree the dinner party host made a great choice. Our chicken parm is always juicy and flavorful and did a great job complimenting the red wine samples brought for the evening. Health Held In Hand Chicken Parmesan is our family recipie that always comes out tender and juicy. At this dinner party we served each chicken cutlet with a fresh made topping of bolognese sauce and then the baked them with mozzarella cheese.
Sweet Sayonara
Tonight our Queen Creek dinner wine tasting party opted for dessert and we are delighted they did. Bringing our chocolate creme tarts to finish out the night on a sweet note.
