Savory Cuisines Brings “Green Cuisine” to Gaiam

Savory Cuisines, the leading catering company in Boulder, has been working for the past 6 years to make the catering industry more sustainable and eco-friendly. Last week they moved into the corporate arena, opening a corporate cafeteria at Gaiam, a company offering sustainable living solutions and green products to clients.

Working hand in hand with Gaiam’s mission, “To create a force for positive change…by giving people a choice of a lifestyle that is healthy and life enhancing,” Savory created a “Green Cafeteria.” Using all local and organic products, Savory Cuisines is able to bring a fresh the “Farmers Market” directly to work.
Although Gaiam and Savory work to bring the lowest cost lunch options to their employees and clients, using top of the line produce, meats, and beverages, does increase the cost. “Organic products usually cost 10% to 40% more than similar priced conventionally produced products.” Organic produce is produced on a smaller scale, and due to centralized production, there is an increase price in shipping to regional markets.
Both Savory Cuisines and Gaiam are working to eventually bridge the price gap between the organic and conventional market, but without consumer support, this isn’t possible.
So next time on your lunch break, when you are craving something healthy, delicious, and fresh, head down to the Savory Cuisines Cafeteria, and have a relaxing, and nourishing lunch.

Weddings – What to Do and Not to Do From A Catering Perspective

It’s your special day. Your friends and family have traveled from all over to celebrate this special day with you. Perfection is expected and nothing less will be tolerated. The last thing you want your guests walking away saying is, “The food, service, and presentation was excellent, but that staff stuck out like a sore thumb.” Savory Cuisines prides themselves in keeping a behind the scenes profile at all weddings and special events they cater. Steps are taken throughout the planning process to assure that the day of an event, timelines are in place, staff is adequate for the number of people attending, food is prepared exactly as specified, and that set up and take down go as smoothly as possible. All set-up, toasts, cutting of the cake, etc. are scheduled to be ready to occur 10 minutes before the actual time to ensure perfection. Also, wearing black, or appropriate attire based on what the customer asks for, is customary, and assures our staff to be staff, not appear as guests. Savory Cuisines has made a name for themselves, not only in the food they serve, but in the way they handle events, for the past 5 years, and cannot wait for continuing, and exceeding this service, in the years to come!
