Party healthy!

MANILA, Philippines - Going to a party usually means overindulging in good food while mingling with the other guests. The result: guilt feelings that come with the extra baggage — and we are not talking about the goodie bags that you are bringing home.

The Sexy Chef offers healthy catering packages that accommodate any appetite with its tempting array of foods that are surprisingly healthy. The healthy catering packages include guilt-free choices of wholesome goodies with a complete lineup of hors d’oeuvres, salads, main course, pasta dish, and dessert. Each dish is low in calories but high in flavor.

Among the items that are included in the party package choices are hors d’oeuvres of stuffed tomatoes with fresh herbs and smoked fish, California maki pinwheels, and Vietnamese fresh spring rolls with peanut sauce, crab and mango salad with Oriental dressing, Greek salad with lemon vinaigrette, and assorted tea sandwiches of tuna malunggay, tofu “egg” salad and chicken pesto. Hearty main course options from the set menus include seafood thermidor in a reduced-fat bechamel cheese sauce with vegetables, and fish fillet in lite lemon butter sauce.

Since party food means sweets, The Sexy Chef catering menu comes complete with healthy desserts sweetened with organic coconut sugar:  brownies, food for the gods, carrot cake, banana muffins, and Oreo cheesecake, fresh fruit salad washed down with refreshing pandan iced tea.

All these choices come at surprisingly affordable packages designed to help ease the hassles of party planning. From only P400 per head and a minimum of P10,000 worth of catering, The Sexy Chef can customize special menus to suit every taste and budget.
