Mediterranean menu for weddings

We are very lucky to be in Sitges, a privileged location, so this factor had to be represented in the cuisine we make at ESKISIT Catering.

Mediterranean cuisine is one of the most prized in the world. The flavors, the food, the raw materials and even the colors of the cuisine are amazing.

Not all countries can count on ingredients of such high quality and with the intense flavor that we have in our land.

It is so revered that, in 2013, UNESCO declared the Mediterranean diet as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

Mediterranean cuisine

We are talking about a way of understanding, eating and cooking food. Local and natural products, an informal diet, recipes from here and enjoying flavors without rushing.

It is also governed by and gives great importance to certain ingredients such as fruit and vegetables, wheat and whole grains (bread is essential), olive oil, meat and fish, and it is also important to mention grapes and wine; great partner to enjoy our gastronomy.

Depending on the Mediterranean country you are in, these flavors will be differentiated by the different gastronomic cultures, and Mediterranean cuisine is one of the most diverse in the world.

One of the main characteristics is the constant use of olive oil both for cooking and for dressing or even marinating food beforehand. This is combined with other aromatic herbs or with other cooking techniques, such as pickling.

And we can confirm that this is also the case in our kitchen, and in our Mediterranean wedding menus.

The menu for Anthony & Robin's destination wedding had a very Mediterranean style with the most typical ingredients from our area.

At ESKISIT Catering we work with a gastronomic line based on Mediterranean tradition combined with touches of haute cuisine and other cultures.

We create recipes with the best local and seasonal products, offering authentic cuisine and a global experience thanks to our totally personalized presentation for our clients.

In the case of Robin & Anthony, the Mediterranean menu for their celebration included;

A delicious Fresh tomato tatin with flavored mozzarella and pesto sauce.

Followed by a main course of paella. Guests could choose between the following 3 flavors; Chicken and pork paella, Vegetable paella or Black rice accompanied with homemade "all i oli" sauce.

Can there be anything more representative of the Mediterranean gastronomy of our area than a good paella?

It represents the tradition and richness of our cuisine, it is a dish that can combine sea and mountains at the same time and do so in perfect harmony.

And it is not so easy to make a good paella... You need to choose the best rice (which for making paella is bomba rice), have a homemade broth prepared with top quality ingredients, you should not mix the ingredients too much and of course you cannot miss the famous "socarrat"; an essential crunchy layer of rice that forms at the bottom of the paella.

It is so well known that it even has its own day;

September 20th is World Paella Day.

The bride and groom decided to make a paella buffet with 3 different flavors so that the guests could go and choose the one they liked best. There was something for everyone: a vegetable paella, a meat one and another (and for many the favorite and most classic) seafood one.

And in the end, it is a good option for those couples who are looking to give an informal touch to their wedding and who want a more dynamic banquet.

By the way, they also had other things on their wedding menu!

They started with welcome drinks before the ceremony, a welcome cocktail accompanied by two snacks, the aperitif consisted of 11 references served by our waiters and a buffet of Iberian charcuterie accompanied by artisan breads.

And at dinner, they had the dishes mentioned above, followed by a Bacardi mojito sorbet and a delicious wedding cake, prepared in our own bakery, with red velvet flavor or dulce de leche flavor.

The decoration and the setting also matched the Mediterranean style of the whole event.

Our team is focused on creating unforgettable moments with close and committed attention. And that was of course the case at Anthony & Robin's wedding as well.
