Bento Boxes are on Trend!
What is a Bento Box?
It's a simple meal in a box, traditionally containing a small portion of fish, meat, rice and vegetables. The boxes were first seen in Japan back in the 15th century. They were used by soldiers, hunters and farmers who needed to eat at work.
Fast forward 600 years, the boxes are more popular than ever. They were the highlight at a recent event we catered. It was a fundraiser for a non-profit called Spur. The organization does incredible sustainability work in the Bay Area.
Besides trying something unique, the goal of the event was to use as many items that were biodegradable as possible. The "fushion boxes" were custom made by Certified Business Products in San Jose.
Here's what was inside...
Spicy cucumber salad with green onions, sesame oil, chiles and soy sauce in bamboo bowl
Grilled salmon with sweet chile glaze over basmati rice in pine cone boat
Chipotle brisket sliders with caramelized onion in bamboo boat
Sweet potato fries in pine cone with sriracha dipping sauce
Roasted red pepper pops filled with quinoa, chick peas, black beans and roasted marinara in bamboo boat
Tikka enchiladas served over black bean, roasted corn tomato salad with fresh chopped cilantro and cumin vinaigrette in pine cone boat
Valentine's Day
A Valentine Tradition: Bay Area Community Comes Together
For over 15 years, The Party Helpers has catered the Valentine Dance at St. Mary’s School.
Generations of families attend the event. Parents decked the gym out with fabric, flowers and lights.
What would a Valentine's Day event be without a bar full of candy and white chocolate bread pudding with chocolate and raspberry sauce. That’s our most popular dessert this year.
Also trending were the signature drinks, a red hot tini and cupid's cocktail.
What also makes a great event? Many say it’s the community behind it. Friends, old and new coming together. Wishing you a Happy Valentine's day from all of us at The Party Helpers.
