Appetizers/Sides
Salads (We need 1 Large Japanese-style salad)
Fruit Platter (We need 1 fun/pretty platter of sliced fruit)
Rice (We need 1 large pot of rice to go with meat dishes. This can be
cooked on site if you are helping with the event -- or left in the kitchen in
the morning as a rice cooker/rice for the set-up crew to make just prior to
the party starting.)
Main Dishes (We need 8 main dishes* )
* PLEASE NOTE: We do not want all of the dishes to be Japanese fare. We
will have a table of speciality Japanese dishes as well as an array of non-
Japanese dishes. If you have a special dish that you prepare for large
crowds, by all means, please prepare your favorite one for this event. It could
be ANY style.
Dessert
The dessert table is traditionally a mix of small pastries, cups of chocolate
mousse/flan/creme brulee, fancy chocolates, and small cakes of all flavors.
The teachers typically take 2 or 3 small desserts so we try to have a wide
selection. We have a 3 tiered display for the smaller items and then
surround that with the larger cakes, plates of brownies etc.
We need 10 desserts that will serve 10. (So a small cake or 10 small
pastries (smaller than the size of your fist - petit fours, cream puffs, cookies,
brownies or a box of chocolates.)
