Behind the Scenes: How Eatertainment Curates Monthly Chef’s Picks
Home > Blog > The Making Of Monthly Chef’s Picks
At Eatertainment, crafting the perfect menu is more than just selecting delicious dishes, it’s about curating an experience that reflects the season and excites the palate.
With each new month, our chefs embark on a creative journey, sourcing the freshest ingredients, exploring innovative flavour pairings, and designing a menu that not only complements the season but also enhances any event.
The Inspiration Behind Each Chef’s Pick
Every month starts with a brainstorming session. Our chefs draw inspiration from the changing seasons, global food trends, and the dishes our clients love most. For March, that meant bold flavours and comforting yet elevated dishes, like our Steak Frites Canapé, Korean BBQ Chicken Taco, and Zucchini Scarpaccia Canapé—all of which highlighted rich textures and seasonal ingredients that warmed up the last chilly days of winter.
But as spring arrives, the menu takes on a new life. Lighter, fresher flavours come into play, with bright herbs, crisp vegetables, and vibrant colours making their way onto the plate. The transition from cozy, hearty winter dishes to lively spring fare keeps our offerings dynamic and exciting.
Sourcing the Best Seasonal Ingredients
One of the most important parts of menu development is ingredient selection. We prioritize working with local suppliers whenever possible, ensuring our menus are not only fresh but also sustainable. Seasonal ingredients allow us to offer dishes at their peak flavour while also supporting local producers.
Why Seasonal Dishes Are Perfect for Events
Dishes that change with the seasons ensure that every event menu feels fresh and exciting. Whether it’s a corporate gala, an intimate dinner party, or a large-scale wedding, seasonal dishes allow us to create a more immersive experience for guests, where flavours align with the time of year and create a memorable dining moment.
Plus, with a rotating selection of dishes, clients and guests always have something new to look forward to. It’s a perfect way to keep catering menus innovative while still offering tried-and-true crowd favorites.
What’s Coming Next?
With April just around the corner, our chefs are putting the final touches on the next lineup of Chef’s Picks. Expect to see vibrant, garden-fresh flavours and globally inspired touches with sweet, earthy notes from root vegetables, bright citrus accents, and bold, spiced elements that bring warmth and depth. These seasonal shifts add a natural vibrancy to our dishes, making them perfect for spring gatherings.
