Mediterranean Menu

One of our Chef Anna’s passions has always been Mediterranean Flavors, not just Greek but throughout the Mediterranean Sea from Spain and Italy to Greece and Turkey and North Africa. Her love of the bright and clean flavors entwined with the unique spices was one of her first offerings when she started Catering umpteen(…and she won’t tell us how long) years ago. Along the way she has wrapped herself up in so many other flavors that this first love started to fade to the background. But a recent inspiration set her back into this world and she has been busy busy creating new and exciting versions of some of her favorite dishes with the strong PNW influence. Enjoy…and…no plate throwing please.
