Boulder Catering | Wedding Catering & Corporate Caterer | Boulder, CO

The fresher the ingredients the better the taste…

As a lover of all things food, Savory Cuisines’ executive chef and owner, Bob Sargent, took pride in growing a beautiful home garden this summer. Much of which, has found its way into our Boulder catering kitchen and the mouths of our clients. These delicious home-grown garden vegetables and herbs have been incorporated into every menu possible. Fresh naturally grown produce like enormous cucumbers, lemon cucumbers and several different varieties of tomatoes are just a few of the ingredients in our Vegetable Ribbon and Chopped Green Salads. Fresh aromatic herbs like basil, cilantro and thyme are included in nearly all of our marinaras, sauces, soups and salsas. Herbs are extremely diverse and true pleasure to cook with.

We are very excited to see the fruits of our labor enjoyed by our wonderful corporate, wedding and take-out window customers. Keeping up with the garden took precious time, energy, resources, sweat and hard work. Ironically these same qualities are what make us who we are, as we always put 100% of ourselves into every meal we serve. It just made sense to take it one step further in order to ensure that we have the best food possible.

We have discovered many rewards to planting, caring for and eating delightfully home-grown vegetables and herbs. Some of which are knowing exactly where our food comes from and that it is as fresh as can be. Additionally we enjoy the connection we are building with the earth and taking advantage of Colorado’s wonderful weather and growing seasons. We are already looking forward to the Fall and are anticipating a glorious harvest.

The practice of growing our own produce is not only sustainable but it also creates a truly superior product, this is just one more aspect that sets us apart from the rest. We are completely dedicated to sustainable catering, which is the new standard for Boulder’s food market. Savory Cuisines’ takes sustainability one step further as we participate in on-site composting and recycling, and offer all eco-friendly products. We are happy knowing that we are doing something great for our ecosystem every time we create a delicious dish.

“To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow.”

Savory Cuisines, the leading catering company in Boulder, has been working for the past 6 years to make the catering industry more sustainable and eco-friendly. Last week they moved into the corporate arena, opening a corporate cafeteria at Gaiam, a company offering sustainable living solutions and green products to clients.

Working hand in hand with Gaiam’s mission, “To create a force for positive change…by giving people a choice of a lifestyle that is healthy and life enhancing,” Savory created a “Green Cafeteria.” Using all local and organic products, Savory Cuisines is able to bring a fresh the “Farmers Market” directly to work.

Although Gaiam and Savory work to bring the lowest cost lunch options to their employees and clients, using top of the line produce, meats, and beverages, does increase the cost. “Organic products usually cost 10% to 40% more than similar priced conventionally produced products.” Organic produce is produced on a smaller scale, and due to centralized production, there is an increase price in shipping to regional markets.

Both Savory Cuisines and Gaiam are working to eventually bridge the price gap between the organic and conventional market, but without consumer support, this isn’t possible.

So next time on your lunch break, when you are craving something healthy, delicious, and fresh, head down to the Savory Cuisines Cafeteria, and have a relaxing, and nourishing lunch.

Savory Cuisines is one of the leading companies, here in Boulder, who is working to make the catering industry more sustainable and eco-friendly. We’ve been coordinating ZERO WASTE events with Eco-Cycle and Green Girl Recycling for the last year and have been tremendously successful.

More and more clients, especially those who cater several times a day, are requesting compostable and biodegradable products. Using real plates and silverware is the most sustainable way to serve your guests, but if paper and plastic is needed, use compostable and biodegradable products.

Proud to be an eco-caterer in Boulder

Catering clients are inquiring into our at-home business recycling procedures and seem to be making decisions based on these factors. Those who are interested are more than willing to pay the few extra dollars it takes to ensure they minimize their impact on the world.

We feel this new wave of catering is the future of our industry and are very excited to be on the forefront of the movement. If you are interested in learning more about environmentally conscious event planning please contact us at 303-543-7767.
