The GOODS from Lazy Gourmet

Vancouver, BC | As event planners, entertainers, and hosts rejoice in the soon-to-be arrival of Thanksgiving and the holiday season, Vancouver’s long-standing caterer The Lazy Gourmet unveils a new Fall/Winter catering menu. Turkey confit sliders, kale Caesar salad, spicy cornbread, miso ling cod with spaghetti squash, and mousse cups with peppermint bar are just some of the unique and creative dishes offered this year. “At The Lazy Gourmet, we are always looking to reinvent classics and favourites, but still echo the type of nostalgia people love during the feasting season,” explains Kevin Mazzone, General Manager of The Lazy Gourmet. “Our dishes can be enjoyed at intimate functions, large holiday events, or corporate lunches. There is something to tantalize everyone’s taste buds. We’re excited to see what this season, especially with early Thanksgiving, will bring.”

Other new and notable dishes, created by Executive Chef Jenny Hui, include hors d’oeuvres such as cassis gelee with duck pate, cinnamon rubbed OceanWise BC Albacore tuna on lotus chip with seasame brittle, and squash pancakes with crab fennel salad; platters such as roasted eggplant and charred cauliflower; and desserts like maple bacon cupcakes, cassis macarons, and chocolate espresso cheesecake lollies.
