Gourmet Caterers specialize in kosher and kosher style Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, we have separate businesses, and kitchens to achieve this. We do a lot of Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, and are very accustomed to what the Family require on this special day, or weekend. We often do a Friday night dinner for all the family and out of town guests, and then after the synagogue service on the Saturday, we usually do a kiddush lunch, and that evening is the big party. Often on the Sunday morning there is a brunch for the family and out of town guests.

Many of our Bar and Bat Mitzvah parties are theme parties. The kids choose a theme - sports, colors, candy whatever, we work around that theme, and decorate our tables in the theme. The room can be decorated by ourselves or a party planner, we work with a lot of other vendors. Menus are chosen around the theme, maybe a few Nationalities, or if red white and green can be Mexican food, or Italian, with a whole menu around pastas, pizza, etc. We have so many ideas to advise a client of what has worked before. We also have a lot of venues that we have worked with before, like the Marconi Car Museum in Tustin, great place to have a Bar Mitzvah. We have done a Bar Mitzvah on a beach, a BBQ, one in a park, one in a gymnasium, so if you are looking for ideas we can surely help.

Our kosher Catering - Kosher Gourmet Caterers, offers a unique service to our clients, and we always go the extra mile, to make it a successful for all concerned.   We take care of everything.  We customize a menu for all our clients, thus giving them a special menu for a special day, or weekend….

Gourmet Caterers had the pleasure of catering for a South African party. A 75th Birthday celebration. Being South African ourselves its always fun to make a traditional menu. It was a small party, but had a big selection of foods. The appetizers were beef sosaties made up of beef, apricots and red onion and served with a delicious sauce with onions, curry, ginger etc…, also for appetizers we served traditional vegetarian samoosas, with a hint of chillies and curry.

For main course we served at room temperature pickled fish with curry, lots of onions and bay leaves and apricots. Cube steak with a monkeygland sauce, which is a sauce rich in onions, tomatoes, garlic and chutney -delicious. Babotie - which is a traditional dish similar to meatloaf but on the sweeter and curried side. Cape chicken curry-made with a delicious selection of fresh herbs, chilli powder, cardamon, tomatoes etc, served with yellow rice with raisins. The traditional home made boerewors (this is beef sausage) served with mielie pap, this is maize meal that has been cooked with water slowly at a low temp to get thick and is served with a tomato, onion like gravy we call train smash…. We also served pumpkin fritters with cinnamon and sugar. Dessert was koeksisters, this a donut type dessert, fried dough dipped immediately in a cold sugar liquid, this gives it, its sweet flavor, but it is not glossy, or coated in the liquid, it just absorbs some, and then drips off. Fresh fruit was served as well. All the South Africans and everyone else enjoyed the evening.
