Healthy Kosher Catering
Kosher catering is both an art and learned discipline. Traditional kosher catering started in the home and is now a multimillion dollar industry worldwide.
A kosher caterer must be a trained chef and must be knowledgeable on kosher food regulations. What is and what is not allowed in kosher cooking. Adhering to the rules does not insure success. A kosher caterer must be creative to satisfy the culinary palate of a new generation of Jewish adults.
Traditional fried and fat infused foods are no longer requested by young clients. The alternative is to a healthy kosher food lifestyle.

Kosher sushi is not every ones’ desired option. Caribbean inspired dishes are not enjoyed by people who do not like spicy foods. A vegetarian or vegan life style choice is an acquired taste and suitable for everyone. Kosher East Indian food is an acquired taste.
A good kosher caterer can take traditional kosher food recipes and infuse them with modern healthy cooking techniques.
