Seasoned snow peas. 🫛 While snow peas are a cold-season vegetable, many times they are planted in the late summer for a fall harvest. We love to season ours with shiso oil and furikake.

Sending warm wishes to all this holiday! We were thrilled to be able to continue our annual Thanksgiving tradition last week by cooking and serving a hot Thanksgiving feast for kids at their school. What a joy! ♥️

What a beautiful day! One of the auction packages at last year’s Foodwise & The Ferry Plaza Farmers Market Sunday Supper fundraiser was “Lunch for 12” and we were thrilled to serve great food and wine to the wonderful auction winners at Stemple Creek Ranch last Friday! Chef Daniel Capra has been involved with Foodwise for over 10 years and is currently serving on their board as Vice President. Join us for this year’s Sunday Supper fundraiser at the San Francisco Ferry Building on October 15th! Proceeds provide vital funds for Foodwise farmers markets, food access initiatives, and education programs, and more. Paula LeDuc Fine Catering and Events is always honored to be part of this event, benefitting a fantastic organization.

We had some fun last week with staff picks for our World Cup Sweepstakes: our team randomly picked names of countries from a bowl, and the winner will take home a big cash prize! 🙌

Today is our last day delivering meal kits to Bay Area federal families impacted by our government shutdown. Any federal employee with a government ID can come to the San Francisco Federal Building located at 90 7th Street, Room B-130 starting at 3:00 PM and take a family meal home with them. Huge thank you to World Central Kitchen, Tyler Florence, and outstanding volunteers! We’ll end this week serving over 10,000 meals! #ChefsForFeds
