haute summer

Don’t let the hot Houston summer keep you from entertaining! The season is quickly approaching and we want to help you get ready for the rising temperatures in style.  A Fare Extraordinaire loves coming up with new ways to keep the guests coming back for more and with a cool and refreshing menu, you can make that summer heat melt away.  The key is having plenty of hydrating refreshments, such as our fabulous Ginger Lemonade or try a Frozen Screwdriver.  The light and refreshing theme is a great resounding note throughout your whole menu.  Just because you hear refreshing doesn’t mean it can’t be filling.  Think beach treats, like fruit kabobs and ceviche, even as far as palleta carts with assorted ice creams.  Dress up your typical mixed greens salad with some of your favorite fresh fruits and nuts.

Even in the long summer months being creative can be lots of fun and make the best impression on your gathering.  From huge weddings to quaint garden parties, the sweltering heat can’t stop you!

After 25 years it’s safe to say we have seen and done it all.  The key to being a great host or hostess is knowing the needs and wants of your guests and taking into careful consideration  the setting, time of day and purpose of the event.  Think couture meets catering, fitting your every want…with a haute Extraordinaire flair!
