Planning a Party for Mindful Eaters: Some Vegetarian Recipes to Consider
If you were to join a bidding for a bachelorette party contract, and you’re up against some of the most creative, most savvy caterers and party planners, what can you do to make yourself stand out? Create the most unique theme for bachelorette parties and write several menu options for each type of guest.
Other planners can go for the usual thing and impress the couple and their parents with party accessories, cutesie giveaways and fancy table tops; but you’re after the bachelorette who really wants to enjoy a non-stuffy party with her closest friends.
1. A dieter’s party – If you really want to target the modern woman, you can contact a consultant from a diet pill company and plan a bachelorette party around a mini-seminar. Food will also cater to the girls in the party who are mindful of what they eat. It’s going to appeal to those who don’t feel like breaking their diet just because their friend is going to serve a carb-fiesta. You can serve cannapes and dark chocolate in small sizes, and your main dishes can be salads with lite dressing.
2. Prepare a meal plan for a vegetarian’s party. Take the usual meat recipes and substitute all meat with tofu, gluten and soy products. Appetizers can be nuts and seeds. These are available both in and out of the shell, whole, halved, sliced, chopped, raw, or roasted. Some of the most usual ones include cashews, peanuts, walnuts and almonds, all easy-to-find and inexpensive. Sunflower and sesame seeds are excellent choices for spicing up salad dishes.
If your clients prefer a specific dish type, you can come up with the recipes of your favorite Mexican or Italian dishes. You can serve pasta, tostadas, baked potatoes, vegetable soups, muffins and others just by varying the ingredients to suit your theme.
The good thing about this is you can afford to bid lower when your menu comprises inexpensive ingredients. If your plan is simple, easy to execute, and you have a unique selling point to market to your would-be clients.
