Want to serve fresh, hot, delicious pizza at wedding reception!
I’m getting married (on a budget), and want to serve Caesar Salad and pizza. A menu that is inexpensive, delicious (who doesn’t love pizza?), easy to serve and creative.
The venue has a large convection oven (which I don’t know how to use), as well as a regular commercial oven. I expect 90 guests. I will be using mostly volunteer labor and friends (wedding guests) who will help serve (though I am hiring a woman to supervise the kitchen).
My fiancé nixed frozen pizza (though I think they’re pretty good).
We could do pizza crust in advance so that they’re partially baked? – or order same from a local pizza place. Any sources to secure a large quantity of pizza dough? (I live in northern part of LA.)
Or we could simply order a quantity of pizzas from a local place – though they are typically sloppy with their toppings (I want them pretty!), and I am concerned about getting them delivered hot and fresh and perfectly timed so they don’t have to sit. (The reception is on a Saturday evening, so we’re competing with peak time for pizza deliveries).
We’re thinking to serve each table three different flavors – traditional (pepperoni and sausage), vegetarian and “gourmet” (i.e., some creative combination).
Need advice, suggestions, recipes, etc. Also – advice on convection cooking is welcome. A good Caesar dressing recipe is also needed.
I don’t want to be stressed out on my wedding day (or my fiancé will divorce me!) – and hope that this menu will come off as I’ve envisioned (easy, delicious and memorable!).
Thanks in advance for your help!
Black and White Cookies
I'm getting married in a month and would like to have homemade cookies as a favor. I was hoping to make mini black and whites as an homage to my home sweet home, as I now live in the south. Does anyone know a good recipe? There are several floating around the intersphere, so if you have the inside poop on a recipe I'd love to know. If you have any other great wedding favor recipes, I'd love them too!!
