Autumn is here, the Holidays are coming; let’s eat, drink and be merry! All of us at The Golden Pear hope you had a fabulous, restful summer. We were incredibly busy at all three locations, and provided extensive catering services to many of our clients. I love when customers text or email me thanks and praises for our services Here are few testimonials from this summer season. “Hi Keith, I wanted to THANK YOU both for helping me keep my crew and talent happily fed for the last 2 weeks and being so easy to work with!” Naomi H. “Dear Keith, I just wanted to thank you so much again for the catering on Friday. It was perfect and absolutely delicious (the brownies were especially good!)” Amanda S. “Thank you everyone! The dream team made it happen. We are still relishing in the amazing night. People are still talking about the food and how everything was so beautiful!! Simply the best!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!! XO Penney” “Hello Keith, Thank you for another fantastic party! Everyone had a blast and was talking about how good the food was. They loved the grilled cheese!” Jaime P. When you’re planning your next catering event, think about us and contact me. I will handle everything and make sure your party is a complete success!
As autumn arrives, The Golden Pear Cafes, offer a delicious selection of comfort foods, including: chicken pot pie, super cheesy mac and cheese, herb roasted turkey breast with roasted autumn vegetables and Yukon gold potatoes, hearty, slow-cooked beef stew, butternut squash and apple soup, vegan, spiced, pumpkin bisque, and our award-winning seafood chowder. Yes, once again, we won first place in the 2024 Southampton-Fest Chowder Competition. Attached is my recipe for vegan, spiced, pumpkin bisque. It is pretty easy to prepare, and you can freeze any leftovers for months. I hope enjoy this healthy, yummy soup of the season! Pumpkin spice muffins, pumpkin lattes, and pumpkin-shaped butter cookies await you! We are open 7 days a week and are always here for you!
Yesterday, Sunday, October 13th, I drove past Hank’s Pumpkintown in Water Mill. There must have been thousands of people there, loving the “agritourism” offered by the Kraszewski family. They have an amazing selection of pumpkin and apple picking, food market, and one of the best corn mazes in the Hamptons. Be sure to get there early to a find parking spot and avoid the crowds that are at the peak by noon. The Milk Pail market and farm also has outstanding apples, pears, pies, jams, cider donuts, and corn maze that your family will enjoy! So much to do here in the Hamptons this autumn. And let’s not forget, a quiet walk on the beach that has no crowds is peaceful and restorative.
As we prepare for the holidays to arrive, we offer our Thanksgiving and Holiday Catering menus full of delicious, carefully prepared appetizers, entrees, savory sides, and classic desserts. Whether feeding a small group, or entertaining a larger group of family and friends, The Golden Pear is here to make sure you receive everything you need to make the day of evening enjoyable and memorable. Just give me a call or send me an email, and we will take great care of you this holiday season.
