I’m sure you’ve been there. Enjoying the company of friends at a party, feeling the spirit of the occasion, having a good time. And then the food comes out and it’s a disaster. It brings the whole experience down a few notches, doesn't it? Why is that? Why does food play such an important role in our events, celebrations and gatherings of friends, family and colleagues? And why is great food so important to the success of any occasion?

For one thing, food plays a unique role in our lives since it nourishes our bodies and fuels our day. What else does that? But on top of that, what we eat can satisfy so many of our senses all at once and has the potential to make us sigh with pleasure again and again. Besides taste, of course, we see the presentation, smell the aroma, respond to the color and even listen to the sizzle of steam or scrape of a knife. So many ways to be delighted!

And food is central to our communal experience, to sharing, relaxing and even working. It sets the stage, provides a backdrop, but can also be a focal point for pleasure and shared experiences. Or the reason for great disappointment.

When fare at your event is prepared with love, skill and artistry, it can elevate your affair to the memorable. Remember some of the events you’ve gone to? Everybody loves delicious food, so treating your guests to gourmet meals that combine ingredients in just the right way, that tease the palate and surprise the taste buds uplifts everyone’s experience of your event.

The great food you provide at your party reflects on your good taste and thoughtfulness. It shows people you care enough to give them the best. And it gives everyone a gift of nourishment that they’ll remember with a smile for a long time to come.

Good food. It’s the heart of the party!
