At Diane Gordon Catering, we take sustainability very seriously. For all our menus, we prioritize sourcing locally grown produce, dairy and meat. We also work with an array of green and eco-friendly vendors. For our most sustainably minded corporate and private clients, we are happy to work one-on-one to create an event that meets your environmental as well as your epicurean needs. A few of our recent “green” focused events included Cauliflower Fritto Misto Drizzled with a Lemon – Parsley Pesto and Paneer Stuffed Eggplant with a Red Lentil and Coconut Sauce.
