Serena and Rotem's Wedding- November 2013

We were privileged to work with both beautiful families of Serena and Rotem.  The journey building up to the wedding was filled with laughter and joy; at times I was transported into one of Woody Allen’s movies, the intricacy of a large Jewish family gathering with all characters in place.

The theme for the day was “White Moroccan wedding”.  Serena was stunning with her Oscar del Renta wedding dress and Rotem looked like he stepped out of a magazine, elegant and sleek.

Opentable had planned and catered for the weekend event (wedding and a day after gathering lunch for 100 guests).   With a lush exotic sumptuous Moorish food, guests were transported into the colourful culinary maze like the markets of the Medina.  Tableware was brought directly from Morocco.  It was important for both family to incorporate dishes which reflects their heritage, Moroccan and Indian.

Not only did they include all their own favourites, like the Salmon Tarator and Milk Pudding with labne, apricot and Persian fairy floss, but took great care to make sure the kosher members were catered for just as well as the rest of the guests.

Frances and Gary's wedding

On 26th april 2014, Frances and Gary commemorated their "third time lucky" wedding at Paradise One in Coorabell.  This happy couple in their 60s have seven children between them and nine grandchildren.

Raw Food Workshop at Opentable- May 4th

On May 4th, Opentable gathered a group of gorgeous ladies for our Raw Workshop.  Some were connoisseurs of raw food, others wishing to incorporate more raw food preparation into their lives.  They learned how to do five savoury dishes and two desserts- all dehydrator free recipes.  It was a very fun day of hands on learning and experimenting!

Penny & Tony's Son's Engagement

What a beautiful email testimonial to receive today in our email inbox from Penny and Tony whose son's engagement celebration we catered for recently:

"Our deep and warm thanks to you for your part in making the celebration of our son's engagement a joyful, relaxed and delightful night.

On the occasion of our first meeting you came with enthusiasm and energy and most importantly you seemed very well organised.

I felt confident that you would deliver and we would have a menu that was interesting & different. The fact that we were overseas for the month before the party made it even more important that I felt you had things in hand.

Your frequent communications were reassuring that all would be well. I was so grateful for your comment that "you were looking forward to meeting with you on the day , its going to be a gorgeous one."

It made me feel confident that it would be .....and indeed it was.

We were blessed with beautiful weather and a wonderful atmosphere in the evening of flowers, music, lighting and the superb food. We had many requests for recipes and comments on the original flavours and presentation.

It was a night of great conviviality made more so by your very polished and thoughtful staff who attended to our guests in a most caring way.

Ronit....we hope many more people will have the opportunity to experience your wonderful talent with food, your enthusiasm and passion for what you do and your love of people and community.

Our warmest regards

Penny & Tony"
