Recipes from Art of Catering Food 2016

One of the best parts of the Art of Catering Food is the recipes! Here are two from Executive Chef Phil Evans, Mitchell’s Catering & Events, Raleigh, NC, who appeared last year at Art of Catering Food in Washington, DC—and much to our delight, has agreed to appear in New Orleans, teaching two classes at the Art of Catering Food: “One Ingredient. The Battle of Four Prep Methods” on Sunday, March 12 and (with Chef Rachanee Teipen) “You Can’t Eat What?!!!” on Monday, March 13.

These two recipes were provided as part of his lecture in Washington, D.C. for use within a contemporary avocado station. Enjoy!
