Tastings...

As you all know, The White Apron's main focus is CATERING.  Even though its early winter, wedding season is going to come fast, and couple's are already preparing for that special date.  As caterers, we invite couples and families who are interested in our services to a "tasting" of our food.  Usually a four to five course meal, which includes cheeses, to wines and entree's, the couple gets a glimpse of what The White Apron's about.  We also aid the couple in the whole wedding experience.  We offer insight into wedding planners, rentals, and florists.  The flowers pictured below were provided by The Flower Kiosk in Portsmouth, our preferred florist.

We just had a tasting today and here are some pictures of a tasting from a couple days ago.

Once again, I apologize to everyone who checked for the menu early today and there was no update; this is still a work in progress.  During the early hours of the day, we decide what we want to make, prep all the ingredients, and make your lunch.  The reason why the menu might be late sometimes is because we haven't decided what it is going to be.  We are working the kinks out to provide you guys a punctual menu.

Again, thanks to everyone who has been supporting us!

Moments In The Shop

Here are a few cool moments I captured at the shop.  This is what goes into preparing your lunch and your catered affair.  For example, there's a picture of Ben hand hand stretching the pasta that went into today's "Ben's Famous White Veg Lasagna".  There's the loaf of bread which became your sandwich, and the hand rolled sushi we served yesterday.  Again, thank you all for your support!
