Reasons why corporate parties are important

There are many reasons corporations big and small decide to host events for all employees. Companies go to great lengths to ensure their employees are entertained, fed well and shown appreciation at these events and they go a long way afterwards to help with employee satisfaction. Here are a couple more reasons why your corporate event could help your business:

  • Time to relax: Your employees work hard and with the stress and demands placed on them, a corporate party really helps to boost morale, refocus and motivate everyone.
  • Celebrate achievements: These parties are a great time to publicly thank those employees who have gone above and beyond their normal workload, who really make your company shine.
  • Get to know each other: Working with someone does not mean you know that person. Corporate parties, whether formal or casual, give an opportunity to see co-workers, supervisors or bosses outside of that business element and get to know everyone on a personal level, making work that much easier.
  • There is nothing but good and positivity that can come from a corporate event. When your employees see the time, effort and money spent on their behalf as your demonstrate your appreciation for their work, you will end the party with an increase in ambition towards making your business great.

    Formal or casual, the options are many

We will go over every detail of the meal with you and help make this process easy. You have more important things to worry about, let us take care of wowing your employees with the meal.

  • If a casual, relaxed atmosphere is what you are going with, our themed and corporate choices are certain to make a splash:

    Unlocking the Secrets of your Refrigerator

    If you use your refrigerator in the right way, you can extend the life of your fruits and vegetables and keep you and your family from getting sick. Food poisoning is never something you want to serve with dinner. When it comes to New York Catering, Thomas Oliver’s Gourmet Catering understands food. We want to help you unlock the secrets of your refrigerator. Here are a few tips from the finest New York catering company.

  • Using those Special Drawers: Whether you call it a crisper, humidity drawer, or produce drawer doesn’t matter. What matters is that you use it. Your crisper keeps the humidity a bit higher than the rest of your refrigerator. This added humidity will help keep your lettuce and other vegetables crispy for a lot longer. Avoid mixing fruit with your vegetables. Fruit releases a ripening compound called ethylene gas. When that ripening compound hit vegetables it causes them to ripen and then go bad a lot faster. Crispers are designed to keep the humidity high, while fruit drawers are designed to keep the humidity low. Fruit drawers allow air to escape, which helps reduce the amount of ethylene gas. If you keep your fruit in the fruit drawer, it will last longer. If you have a drawer labeled meats, use it. The drawer will keep your meats colder than the rest of your fridge and they will last longer. Still though, never keep fresh meats in your refrigerator for longer than five days. Ground meats only last two.
  • Shelving in the Doors: Just because the manufacturer made a spot for milk on the door doesn’t mean you should use it. In order to keep you milk longer, keep it on the shelves inside your refrigerator. The reason for this is all about temperature. You see, whenever you or your kids opens the refrigerator, the first place to lose the cold air are the doors. If you milk is stored in the doors, it will be warmer and spoil faster. In addition, always keep the lid on your milk. Otherwise, it might begin tasting like other things in your refrigerator. No one likes oniony milk.
  • Storing Cut Vegetables: Having precut vegetables in your fridge can speed up food preparation times, but not all cut vegetables refrigerate equally. If you are storing onions or garlic, make certain they are in a sealed container, otherwise they might transfer their taste to your other foods. Cauliflower loses its taste quickly after it has been cut. You should avoid storing it in your fridge. If you have store your cauliflower, place the freshly cut clusters on a moist paper towel in your fridge. Just make certain you use it quickly. You can store broccoli and brussel sprouts the same way. Carrots and celery can be cut and placed in an uncovered bowl of water. They will maintain their crisp.
  • When it comes to keeping food fresh and delicious, no one does it better than Thomas Oliver’s Gourmet Catering. When you want the best catering service in New York, you need to give us a call. We can transform any event into a magical memory.

    Gluten Free Catering You Will Be Surprised is Gluten Free

    glutenfree
    Those who have been on a gluten free diet know how challenging it is to not only find food that is completely gluten free, but also to find gluten free food that actually tastes good. Gluten is the “glue” within the wheat that when made into flour, holds the food together. It gives elasticity and buoyancy to the dough. When you have to use food without flour, often you find the texture quite lacking or even gritty and tasteless. There are many that have to embrace this gluten free lifestyle, either by choice or diagnosis with a gluten sensitivity or intolerance (such as Celiac Disease). Finding a restaurant that serves many gluten free options can be tricky. Thomas Oliver’s Gourmet Catering prides itself in offering not just one or two gluten free options but dozens of tasty choices that will satisfy and delight.

    We practice safe cooking and are careful with cross contamination

    Those with gluten sensitivity or intolerance know exactly how it feels when they eat something contaminated with gluten. Even the very tiniest of particles contaminating the food can cause a reaction for those with this sensitivity. The pain, indigestion, bloating and other uncomfortable symptoms can destroy the next few days. Thomas Oliver’s Gourmet Catering employees carefully prepare all gluten free dishes by doing the following:

    • Using clean gloves not contaminated by gluten foods
    • Cleaning preparation areas thoroughly to ensure gluten particles are not left behind
    • Sterilizing grills and other areas where gluten foods are prepared
    • Avoiding sauces and spices containing gluten additives and preservatives in recipes
    • Serving gluten free dishes in an area away from gluten containing mealsIt is not enough to just create entrees, appetizers and desserts with gluten free ingredients, but it is imperative to practice caution when preparing, baking and cooking. The last thing we would want is to have our customers experience pain or illness at our negligence. We exercise the utmost care to ensure this will not happen.

    No need to feel deprived when Thomas Oliver is catering

    Feeling unsatisfied after a meal out is common for those eating gluten free since many restaurants do not sufficiently satisfy the craving or even fill you up. When you find a restaurant that offers a satiating list of options, it can almost make you giddy, especially if these dishes taste divine. You can now add Thomas Oliver’s Gourmet Catering to your list of favorites because we will not disappoint. Other catering companies will just show you the naturally gluten free items, like fruit and vegetable platters. This is easy and we can bring you a colorful, fresh assortment. But Thomas Oliver’s Gourmet Catering will take it a step further and transform our delicious recipes into something you will completely blow away your taste buds.

    Protein: Your Secret Weapon for a Healthy Body

    header-image-1

    When it comes to a healthy diet, right after your daily calorie intake, your daily protein intake is a vital factor. It doesn’t matter if you want to lose weight, build muscle or just be a healthy functioning human being, your body needs protein. This vital nutrient plays a crucial role in helping your body live a healthy life. It is absolutely fundamental and essential to your survival and healthy nutrition. Thomas Oliver’s Gourmet Catering is packed with protein in each meal for your corporate catering in NYC.

    What does protein do?

    Protein is an important component of every cell in your body. It makes up much of your organs, muscles, skin, hair, nails, bones, cartilage, blood as well as some hormones in your body. Without protein, your body cannot function. It needs protein to repair and build tissues in your body, keep your skin, hair, and nails healthy and it is a requirement for sustaining life. Unlike vitamins and other nutrients, your body does not store protein and needs to draw on it from your protein intake daily.

    3 important roles with protein

    Without protein, your body would lose function of critical processes. These include:

  • Maintaining muscle: When your body experiences a deficit in protein, it instead burns your muscle tissue. By providing your body with protein, it leaves your muscle tissue alone and instead burns fat.
  • Keeps your full: Protein provides satiation to your body, which is the feeling of fullness. Protein curbs your appetite and controls your hunger.
  • Burns calories: Protein is the nutrient with the largest thermic effect, meaning it burns the most calories to digest, thus aiding in fat loss.
  • Protein rich food for your corporate catering NYC

    For your next corporate catering meal, Thomas Oliver’s Gourmet Catering is there for you with delicious, nutritious meals. From our protein rich sushi platters to our succulent sliced sirloin steak, you will be sure to find the a variety of healthy options from any of our themed catering choices. Call us today to schedule your next corporate catering NYC event. We are excited to serve your next event!

Selecting our buffet stations is the perfect fit for your Thanksgiving meal. Hand-carved turkey breast with flavorful sage stuffing and our tender honey butter carrots are just a few examples of dishes that your guests will rave about.

    When it comes to a healthy diet, right after your daily calorie intake, your daily protein intake is a vital factor. It doesn’t matter if you want to lose weight, build muscle or just be a healthy functioning human being, your body needs protein. This vital nutrient plays a crucial role in helping your body live a healthy life. It is absolutely fundamental and essential to your survival and healthy nutrition. Thomas Oliver’s Gourmet Catering is packed with protein in each meal for your corporate catering in NYC.

    What does protein do?

    Protein is an important component of every cell in your body. It makes up much of your organs, muscles, skin, hair, nails, bones, cartilage, blood as well as some hormones in your body. Without protein, your body cannot function. It needs protein to repair and build tissues in your body, keep your skin, hair, and nails healthy and it is a requirement for sustaining life. Unlike vitamins and other nutrients, your body does not store protein and needs to draw on it from your protein intake daily.

    3 important roles with protein

    Without protein, your body would lose function of critical processes. These include:

  • Maintaining muscle: When your body experiences a deficit in protein, it instead burns your muscle tissue. By providing your body with protein, it leaves your muscle tissue alone and instead burns fat.
  • Keeps your full: Protein provides satiation to your body, which is the feeling of fullness. Protein curbs your appetite and controls your hunger.
  • Burns calories: Protein is the nutrient with the largest thermic effect, meaning it burns the most calories to digest, thus aiding in fat loss.
  • Protein rich food for your corporate catering NYC
