The Art of Holiday Entertaining with Denise Tomasulo
December 12, 8 PM at The National Arts Club, 15 Gramercy Park South

The planning and coordination of your event can make all the difference in its success, particularly when you're acting as your own caterer. Denise Tomasulo, owner of Two Carrot Catering in Chappaqua, New York, shares her secrets for throwing an elegant, successful party on your own by learning to think like a professional caterer. She'll explain how you can evaluate your home to determine the right floor plan, and how that affects the party’s logistics.

Then, she'll show you how to develop a theme through your menu choices, floral arrangements, and decorations. She'll discuss practicalities: some items, though delicious when prepared by a full-time caterer working in the kitchen, simply won't work when you're doing it all yourself; other equally delightful and impressive dishes work perfectly.

Finally, she'll demonstrate how to make delicious-yet-stress-free appetizers and hors d'oeuvres to wow your guests, and how to arrange them on platters for maximum eye-appeal. Finally, see and taste it all in action, at a complimentary tasting provided by Two Carrot Catering. Learn the tricks of the trade from a professional caterer, insuring that your event flows seamlessly from start to finish.

Denise will also introduce her Prosecco biscotti, which will be available for sale immediately following the event.

While based in Westchester County, Two Carrot Catering provides service to the New York metropolitan area.
