Many of the bay areas top wedding vendors were in attendance, one who stood out was Cheryl of Cheral Floral & Gifts 813-926-4556.

Although weddings are her specialty, her talents as a florist go beyond that as you can see from the pictures.

 

We at Saffron’s Catering would recommend her for any party as her beautiful arrangements are the perfect compliment to our unique and wonderful food.

                      

                            

 

• Chef Jackie attended the St. Petersburg Chamber of Commerce monthly venue. She attends every monthly meeting to keep active with the Chamber  of St. Petersburg. At the afternoon event, Catering by Saffron’s and other members  ate some wonderful food and discussed many of the issues that  are effecting local business in the area. 
• Also of note, Catering by Saffron’s also was invited to attend the Clearwater Chamber of Commerce’s event at the Clearwater Community Sailing Club.  This beautiful afternoon event was not only fun but  provided a “boat” load of new contacts in the bay area.

Recipe of the Month.

 

Bloody Mary Gazpacho (cold Spanish soup)

 

Gazpacho comes in many forms and flavors and there is a debate as to where it started Spain or Mexico? Well, where it started isn’t important, what is important is that it is the perfect soup for these hot august days. It’s refreshing as well as very healthy. 

 

10 Roma Tomatoes (quartered for easy blending)

1 Cucumber (deseeded)

1 Jalapeño pepper (deseeded)

2 stalks of Celery

2 cloves of garlic

I red pepper (roasted )

1 teaspoon of horseradish

1 lemon (juiced)

½ limes (juiced)

Fresh black pepper and Salt to taste

 

 

Using your blender or food processor  blend tomatoes, cucumber, jalapeño pepper, celery, garlic and red pepper until almost smooth – you would like a bit of texture. Then add in the lemon and lime juice. When all mixed add the seasonings . To garnish why not put a twist on it-  take  a slice of  crabmeat and lay it  on top before serving or a cube of fresh mango for a tropical feel.

We hope you enjoy this Cuisine of the Sun summer soup.  All of the recipes we feature in our newsletter are offered as part of our menu. So, if you don’t see it, just asks Chef Jackie.

 

 

We at Catering by Saffron’s hope you are enjoying the summer. We will be featuring back to school specials as well as a wonderful Labor Day menu. We will see you next month. until then have a happy and healthy August.
