HIRE The Crippled Chef?
Restaurents are getting too expensive these days and we all seem to be time poor. The main casualties appear to be we rush our food preparation or eating and we don't spend enough time with family and friends. One solution is to create theme meals and menus that allow the adventure and fun back into eating and socialising.
The following are examples of theme menus to create a restaurent atmosphere in your home! The Crippled Chef will help you plan and set up these menus to ensure that your experience will be unique, memorable and impress your friends and family!
James Bond 007
An adventure theme that requires people to dress up in their favourite Bond characters. Birthday Parties or Special Event! For women, you may want to choose from one of the favourite 'Bond Girls'. This menu uses some of the food and drink from actual movies and uses names taken from Bond Films. To Die For!!
Medieval Degustation
For a special treat, bring your guests back into the medieval ages! Inspired by recipes of between 12th and 16th Century times, impress your guests with dishes fit for Royalty! To be authentic, you can dress up in the fashion of the time and remove plates and utensils that we use today!
Canadian Brunch
The concept of the slow eating Brunches (combination breakfast/lunch) were started by Canadian Restaurents trying to bring people out of their warm houses on cold winter mornings. Special menus were prepared that took advantage of breakfast and more hearty lunch time choices. It became a family affaire for 'le weekend' - late start, classical music in the background, roaring fireplace in the corner - to spend away a lazy day!
Aussie BBQ
The Great Aussie Barbecue! Slowly over time, some BBQ foods have been influenced by other cultures and ingredients. Try a Beachside BBQ Theme (seafood), a Bush BBQ Theme or an Asian BBQ Theme. Just don't forget the damper!
My Big Greek Dinner
We may have all seen this hilarious movie (more so for the Greeks!) where life centers around home-cooked meals and almost constant eating! Home-cooked or Taverne style food is flavourful, simple but can take some preparation. Food for the Gods - not just the Greeks!!
First Date
Captivate your date, slowly break down any barriers, find out about each other and have flirtatious fun! Every dish a surprise - ingredients are 'more-ish', the presentation and atmosphere is relaxed but electric!!
Kids SuperHero Party
The Superhero Party sends the message to kids that you don't need fast-foods and super-sweet foods to become big, strong and courageous. We need to responsibly avoid potentially allergic ingredients and the big health villain - SUGAR!! Serve food on platters and in small bite-size portions. Keep the sweets and sauces away from the food so they do not become a habit of convenience!
Formal Business Lunch
Time is money. Busy people expect attention to detail and quality. They need protein energy to close those important deals! A professional look, texture and taste make up the Business Menu.
