Catered Art Blog

We are a small catering company based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. We believe in eating locally produced food, sustainable practices and the restorative power of breaking bread together with friends and family. We believe that by starting small and making one better choice at a time, we can all contribute toward the creation of a better relationship with food and the food producers in our region.

By teaching others to cook, and by cooking with creating beautiful, delicious, locally sourced foods, we can make a difference in how we view nourishment and how our children view nourishment. It needn't be fussy, or complicated, or a hassle -- cooking with and for our families is a pleasure, and should be enjoyed as such!

We also believe that one can start small, by making simple choices within their community, to create a better relationship with food and the food producers around us.

When you can’t get to Thailand, bring Thailand home

Thai food feast: last Thai cooking class November 2010

Thai food feast: last Thai cooking class November 2010

Last Thai class of the season tonight. We are grateful to have had such a keen, hardworking group this session. Our Thai course is unfailingly popular and we love that everyone has such a good time. This season, all of the students have brought such a great attitude and willingness to learn, and we have had a lot of laughs and made some delicious, beautiful food. Check out a whole host of photos on our Facebook page: http://on.fb.me/hpmX6w, as well as a couple of video clips on our YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/cateredart.

Thanks to everyone who came out to celebrate Thai flavours in our kitchen during this rainy and chilly November! We look forward to teaching this course again in the spring. Watch http://kitscc.com/activity/adult/culinary for upcoming class dates.
