Wedding Reception Trends for 2007
 

Holiday weddings are becoming more popular and 2007 has seen some new trends in receptions such as interactive buffet stations, ethnic themes and signature cocktails.

 
 
 
 

This article from NIweddingday.com highlights these and other trends to keep in mind as 2007 comes to an end.

 
Progressive Gourmet Launches Brand New Web Site
Progressive Gourmet is launching a new web site this month.  Our new site contains the same features as our old site, including the online catalog and web ordering.  However, it is much easier to navigate with bold drop down menus that make it very simple to find what you're looking for, whether it's products or past issues of our newsletter.
 
 

You can continue to log in using your regular user name and password and all of your old order information will still be stored, we just thought it was time for a face lift.  We welcome you feedback on our new look.

 
Trendy Plate Presentation to Help You Stay Ahead of the Curve
 

Hotels and restaurants across the country are embracing the small food trend ensuring that it is not just a passing fad.  Now, plates and serving dishes are adapting to the trend as well.   Innovative tabletop designs are showing up in some of the hottest restaurants across the country.  From different size compartments to different textures there is a whole new trend in plate presentation.

 


This article from Hotels magazine talks about how plate presentation is just as important as what you're serving and how you can use this new trend to your advantage.

 
Don't forget, Progressive Gourmet has everything you need for holiday parties from hors d'oeuvres to desserts.  Visit our web site for a complete list. 
Sincerely,
