Bris or Baby Naming

Gourmet Caterers does this with ease and confidence.  We have been doing Bris’es for years, and this is one of our specialties.  Although a Bris can usually only be organized at the last minute, as many babies have Jaundice , this can be planned before hand, by determining how many guests you will probably have, and the time of day most suitable to you and the Mohel, and of course the menu, and the venue.  Then a simple call to let us know when the Mother has given birth, and  as many days notice as possible is how this is usually done.  Gourmet Caterers did an outstanding Bris for 80 guests in a beautiful home in   .  It was at 6pm, so therefore dinner time.  We served platters of beautifully decorated Cold Cuts and an assortment of breads and rolls.  Freshly made Chopped liver served with horseradish.  Sweet Noodle kugel with peaches, pineapple, nuts and cream cheese.  For the more savoury pallet, we had a Thai chicken salad, Mushroom Strudel, grilled vegetable kebabs, Summer Garden Tortellini with corn and fresh basil salad, a mixed green salad and a Caprice Salad.  Dessert was chocolate cupcakes with vanilla frosting , key lime tartlets and a delicious Carrot Cake
