It's a new year and you are looking forward to being organized, focused and ahead of the rush. I figure there is no better time than now to discuss logistics as we delve back into the road to securing the right caterer for you.

Logistics are pivotal in ensuring the success of your event, special occasion, or festivities. When considering hiring someone to provide you with services, ensuring they are up for the task is paramount. There are various options to consider when selecting a food service provider/caterer.

"Pick-up" Option: This entails picking up the food directly from your vendor. Typically, it comes in disposable containers, and you receive little more than the food you ordered.

"Drop-off" Catering: Similar to pick-up, the vendor prepares your food in disposable containers, such as aluminum steam pans. You may have the option to receive wire steam pan holders, sterno fuel, and serving utensils. Some vendors go the extra mile, finishing dishes with garnish for presentation. Others offer drop-off options with rentals of stainless steel chafing warmers and additional display choices to elevate your service. These are details we'd discuss during your consultation.

Full-Service Catering: Depending on your event's size and occasion, this includes waitstaff, bartenders (as needed), table set-up and breakdown, dish service (washing and putting away), and sometimes decor.

Regardless of your chosen service level, rest assured that a significant amount of work happens in advance and behind the scenes for your event. Often, there are more staff members involved than those visible on the day of the event.

Taking the time to connect with your potential vendor is crucial to ensure they are fully equipped to handle your needs. Service and hospitality are the backbone of our business. If you're interested in learning more about our services, please click the link to get in touch. We look forward to discussing your options and helping make your 2024 event memorable and successful.

Let's talk flavor and how we go about building it.

01/10/2024

This Wednesday I’m whipping back around to cover a few basics.

I’m a chef who loves working at her craft. I’m always learning, reading and filling my kit with new ways to bring mouthwatering dishes to your table. One of the things I love most is layering flavors.

Cooking is about bringing out the complexity of flavor and subtle nuances in the ingredients of your dish. Please do not be afraid of seasoning!

Seasoning is your friend!

Salt is your friend!

Fat is your friend!

Spice is your friend!

Acid is your friend!

Seasoning salt & garlic pepper is NOT the only seasoning you need, stop it! Yup, I said it! Let’s expand and if you aren’t sure, ask me, I got you.

My fondest memories of the Christmas holiday season are centered around times I spent with my Grandmother and Aunt making chex mix and baking cookies.

While I am an "OG" chex mix fan I've really enjoyed making this version of Raindeer snack mix. It's super easy to mix and so fun and colorful with the holiday M&M's and sprinkles. You can stick to one variety of Chex cereal, Corn, or whatever your favorite is. My favorite is the Honeynut right now and it pairs perfectly with this recipe.

Full recipe will be up on the blog on Friday with measurement.

Happy Holiday's

Did you know that I started my career in food as a cookie and treat maker? I started out 15 years ago and over time I moved from baking drop cookies (chocolate chip) to custom sugar cookie artist.

I absolutly love cookies!! As a matter of fact, I love cookies more than cake. I think it's the nostalgia. for me. The memories of baking with my Grandmothers and mother and aunt during the hoidays that have fueled my joy for holiday cookie making.

As a result I have teamed up with Madelyn Collins and created a hands-on interactive cookie workshop on December 16th. Take a few hours out of your day to come and celebrate you and spark your joy for holiday cookies with this private cookie swap/workshop.

I would like to thank you for supporting me, Chef Rosilind Renee in this year's competition for Favorite Chef. Your participation and champion votes aided the James Beard Foundation in their mission to create a more equitable and sustainable future in the restaurant industry through annual awards, industry and community-focused initiatives and programs, advocacy, partnerships, and national events.

On a personal level I want to say that your support for me truly was amazing and heartwarming. I never would have gotten all the way to the Quarterfinals without you. Although I am not advancing on to the Semifinals your support because of your support I am eligible for the Carla Hall Foodie experience in NYC with an opportunity to cook with her. So many eyes have now seen me and for that you have truly blessed my business.

We are now focusing on the start of a new school year with my young hospitality students who have dreams of bright and vibrant futures. Keep watching, I have lots more to share in the coming soon.

We are in the thick of the competition for the Favorite Chef competition. It is my desire to use this opportunity to build upon and advance my brand, The Left Handed Baker & Beyond as well as Chef Rosilind Renee to keep serving the public.

I'm currently in 6th position and would love to keep moving up. Here are a few tips for voting.

1. Champion vote: a donation to the James Beard fondation

2. Verification with credit card: gets you 2 votes per day.

3. Verification with Facebook: gets you 1 free vote per day.

This group is bringing the heat so if I wish to advance I will need to move up by Aug 3.

Thank you all in advance for your support. Make sure you click the link to vote. https://favchef.com/2023/rosilind-coleman

There is the dictotionary definition of hospitality and then there is the real meaning of hospitality.

"Hospitality means receiving and entertaining guests in a way that makes them feel well taken care of. It leverages ambiance, service and products or amenities to provide guests with the best experience possible." That is my goal when it comes to the level of service I provide my clients who often become friends. When you become a part of the Left Handed Baker and Beyond family either through our catering with Chef Rosilind or education or events just know the ulitimate goal is to give you something that exceeds your expectations and makes you feel taken care of.

There is a line in the show The Bear that discusses the reason hospitality & hospital have the same root word, they are both about taking care of people.

My purpose is to take care of others. I'm competing in the Favorite Chef competition to further my brand and grow my hospitality business so I can take care of more people. Please vote for me daily for Favorite Chef 2023. Link https://favchef.com/2023/rosilind-coleman

07/20/2023

There can be only 1!!!

Today is the day! Only the #1 person in each group is selected for a chance to be Carla Hall's favorite chef pick. Let it be me!

Each vote you cast for me today whether it is free or a champion vote gets me that much closer to securing my seat at the table. Over the years I've doubted myself and wondered if I was enough. Today, I woke up knowing I am enough! I am ready!

I strive to be an example to my students and my community that it is never too late to chase down your dreams and capture them. Each of your votes is helping me to do just that. School starts back in just a few short weeks and I'm excited to share this journey and experience with them. I'm honored to compete against so many wonderful chef's but honestly the only person I'm truly in competition with is myself.

I'm competiting to be better than I was the year before, the month before and even the day before. So thank you all for helping me secure the #1 spot!

I'm so grateful for your support throught this entire competition and can't wait to see what God has in store. To vote please click this link https://favchef.com/2023/rosilind-coleman
