"I have attended two events where du jour fine catering was the caterer. Evon, the owner, set a beautiful display of interesting and atypical cuisine. This is not a cookie cuter caterer. Her gourmet pizza in particular was amazing, cut into petite squares. The desserts were mouth watering. She makes everyth

ing fresh and what a difference! Nothing from a box. All made by her. Evon is also on hand to continually freshen the display of food and serve her guests. Wonderful experiences both times."

Here’s a quick guide to what each of these knives is best suited for:

Chef’s Knife: The versatile workhorse in the kitchen, ideal for chopping, slicing, and dicing a wide range of ingredients, from vegetables to meat.

Paring Knife: A small, precise knife best for delicate tasks like peeling, trimming, and intricate cuts on fruits and vegetables.

Utility Knife: Larger than a paring knife but smaller than a chef’s knife, it’s great for slicing mid-sized fruits and vegetables and general kitchen tasks.

Carving Knife: Long and narrow, perfect for slicing thin, uniform pieces of meat or poultry, especially useful for roast cuts.

Bread Knife: Serrated edge allows it to easily slice through soft or crusty bread without crushing it; also works well on soft, juicy produce like tomatoes.

Boning Knife: A thin, flexible blade designed for removing bones from meat and fish, allowing for precision cuts close to the bone.

Meat Cleaver: A heavy, thick-bladed knife ideal for chopping through bones and dense meat cuts.

Steak Knife: Usually serrated, designed for cutting through cooked meat like steaks and chops with ease.

Vegetable Cleaver: A rectangular blade specialized for slicing, chopping, and dicing vegetables with precision; ideal for large amounts of prep work.

Each knife has a unique purpose, making food preparation easier and more efficient.

What is your go-to knife of choice?

GARLIC CHICKEN/SAUSAGE SKILLET

Simple. Easy. Delicious.

10/15/2024

This recipe will knock your guests’ socks off! Serve it at your next gathering. It will leave everyone with a warm, happy feeling in their bellies.

Squash Tortellini
1 butternut squash, about 2 # - cubed, about 3 cups
4 Tbs extra virgin olive oil, divided
1 ½ tsp herb de Provence
½ tsp. kosher salt
¼ tsp black pepper
2 lg. shallots, chopped, about ½ cup
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
1 package of small wonton wrappers

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. On a foil-lined baking sheet, toss the squash, 2 Tbs olive oil, herb de Provence, salt and pepper. Bake in preheated oven until soft and golden, about 25 minutes.

While squash is baking, heat 2 Tbs olive oil in a small sauté pan over medium heat. Cook shallots and garlic until lightly golden, about 3 minutes.

In a food processor, combine the squash mixture, shallot mixture, and ricotta cheese. Pulse a few times to blend. Add the nutmeg and salt and pepper to taste.

To make the tortellini, place ½ Tbs of filling in the center of the wonton wrapper. Wet the edges of the wonton with water. Gently fold into a triangle, making sure the edges are securely closed, and there are no air pockets inside.

To cook, toss into salted boiling water and cook until they float about 4 minutes. Enjoy 😋

Don’t overlook the side dishes in planning your next!

Side dishes play a crucial role in creating a well-rounded and satisfying meal. Not only do they add variety and balance to the menu, but they also offer options for guests with different tastes and dietary needs. So, whether it’s savory seasonal vegetables, a refreshing coleslaw, or a comforting mac and cheese, make sure to give side dishes the attention they deserve when planning your catered meal.
