A few tips from Chefs Sergio Monleón and Emily Sarlatte: of Ñora Spanish Cuisine…

Focus on the Food: Base your Theme on the Cuisine.

Once you have decided what type of cuisine you would like at your event, everything else will fall into place. For example, if you chose to have Spanish cuisine, the music, décor, and invitations can all follow suit with this theme.

Think Outside the Box!

If you do have Spanish cuisine as a theme, get creative! Instead of having tapas and Spanish wine, you can have an elegant five-course meal highlighting the Basque region of Spain, a whole pig roast, or get your guests involved by watching on-site paella cooking with in person chefs!

Stay Seasonal.

Whatever is in season is always going to taste fresher and reflect what season/holiday that you are celebrating. Being that the Bay Area has many local purveyors and talented food craftspeople, there is endless inspiration from the ingredients. Encourage your caterer or chef take advantage of the local ingredients.
