After showcasing their talent and creative inspiration at the prestigious and highly competitive Square Meal Canape Cup, the Easy Gourmet team behind the mouth-watering winning dish has confirmed plans to brighten up private and corporate food.

Combining traditional techniques and exotic flavours with an eye for elegant, intriguing presentation has earned the brand an incredible reputation within the culinary industry. Off the back of their win, the gourmet gurus are branching out by making it possible for foodies everywhere the chance to sample their delectable canapes, whether they’re at their office desk or attending a prominent event.

Re-imaging ordinary ideas, the team behind the stunning Easy Gourmet dishes are culinary ateliers, taking customers on a gastronomic journey with an infusion of flavours from near and far. This signature flair for culinary creativity led the Easy Gourmet team to victory at the Square Meal Canape Cup 2017, one of the highest accolades within the hospitality industry.

Battling it out with 13 of London’s best caterers and restaurants, Easy Gourmet wowed the specially invited judges from the industry and hardened food critics with their delectable canape – Wildwood Festival. Using home grown, gluten-free ingredients saw Easy Gourmet setting the bar high and ultimately led to the much coveted canapé crown.

The winning creation saw melt-in-the-mouth organic beef fillet filled with a troop of wild mushrooms, crispy fried shallots, English butternut ring, truffle and balsamic caviar, all stacked atop a gluten free parmesan shortbread and paired with a dollhouse pint of Surrey gluten free pale ale.

Marie-Laure Preynat, Managing Director of Easy Gourmet, said, “We’re thrilled to have won the Square Meal Canape Cup against such tough competitors. It’s a testament to all the hard work that the Easy Gourmet team puts into every event we cater for and the truly innovative approach we take to crafting new, exciting dishes.”

Following the win, foodies can now order Easy Gourmet creations straight to their workplace thanks to the exclusive launch of The Moji Box. These clever, stackable boxes come packed with both savoury and sweet treats that promise to get diners salivating from first sight. Containing a chef’s selection of tasty foods which change on a daily basis, The Moji is ideal for a chic a desk meeting or slick director’s lunch.

Among the endless possibilities on offer for delivery is manchego and quince on pumpernickel black bread, tomato and pesto profiteroles, rare roasted beef on mushroom duxelle and truffle oil crostini, and tarte au citron meringue.

Preynat added, “The launch of our Moji Boxes means that exquisite dining can be experienced anywhere. Bringing our miniature masterpieces to exactly where customers want them, whether they’re planning an intimate corporate meeting or hosting an extravagant event, was the natural next step for Easy Gourmet. We’ve been catering large events for almost two decades, but we know that there’s a growing trend in customers wanting that experience in a setting that suits their lifestyle. Now they can be tempted by our creation, whatever their plans.”

Just wanted to say a big thank you for everything you did for the wedding – you really helped make our day special & we had so many compliments on the food!

We were impressed by Marie-Laure right from the very first phone conversation when obtaining a quote.

Her attention to detail was astonishing; in meetings, she guided us through the day with forensic accuracy, advising and guiding us on many aspects of our reception, not just the food, something which we valued enormously.

The food was fantastic; the menu choices extensive, the quality and presentation fabulous; the guests were effusive in their praise. We couldn’t recommend her more.”

What a terrific testimonial from Mark and Eleanor! Many thanks to the Bride and Groom.

Beautiful Wedding at MC Motors – Mark and Eleanor – Saturday, 08/October/2016

Every guest at my wedding said it was the best wedding they had been to and I believe this was because of the Easy Gourmet team. I cannot thank them enough  and they made my day truly special. As a bride, I would recommend them every time.

From the first time I met Marie for a tasting at the Easy Gourmet offices I knew I wanted them to be a big part of my wedding; they were so professional, helpful, happy and fun.

The best thing was there wasn’t a thing they were unable to do, and they were worth every penny! All my 180 guests loved them.

Marie also became my friend on my bridal journey. I could ask her advice on things and she would always be there.

Many thanks to the bride and groom for their terrific testimonial about Easy Gourmet and we are glad that they thoroughly enjoyed their fantastic wedding day.

Beautiful wedding at the Old Finsbury Town Hall – Danielle and Luke – on Saturday, 01 October 2016

The post Danielle and Luke’s Wedding Testimonial first appeared on Easy Gourmet Catering.

ML was so much more than a caterer. She helped organised our day from start to finish. Once we had discussed our vision for all the decorations, ML and her team ran with it and came up with a breath-taking display on the day.

She looked after us, and ensured everything ran beautifully. EG fully deserve this prize – they will add sparkle to any event.

I had confidence in ML and EG from the moment we spoke on the phone. The food was delicious during our tasting and we just had a great feeling about the team.

It massively paid off. We are still beaming from our day – in no small part thanks to the Easy Gourmet team!!!”

What a fantastic testimonial about Easy Gourmet! Many thanks to the lovely bride Tulip Mazumdar.

Beautiful  wedding at WILTON’S Music Hall – Sam and Sarah –  Saturday, 27/08/2016

The post Sam and Sarah’s Wedding Testimonial first appeared on Easy Gourmet Catering.

Firstly, apologies this has taken so long, but I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you for all of your hard work and support. You really went beyond any expectations from the very beginning of working with you, and truly set the bar very high for what we expected from our other suppliers.

No request was too much, and you were always so accommodating and prompt in getting back to us. The day itself was a dream, and was so impressed at how calmly Flavia was able to adjust timings etc.. to ensure that we got the most out of the day.

All your recommendations were greatly received, and really appreciated your patience of reassuring any questions our family had also.

The food too! Well that was just fantastic – I wish I could have it all again without the nerves and anticipation of the day.

So many of our guests complimented on how professional you all were but also how excellent the food were – and we really have some fussy opinionated friends between us!

Also, I thought I should let you know that our wedding will be featured on the ‘Love My Dress’ blog in either April or May, and will link to your website too. As soon as we’ve got the final date confirmed, we can let you know.

Thanks once again, we would have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone who asks!”
