What are grazing tables...
The art of communal dining can be dated back to the ancient times centering around food as the cornerstone of social interaction. In Rome they would host banquets known as “symposiums” featuring tables decorated with a multitude of food & drink. Similarly the Ancient Greeks had “symposia” which were known for their fancy spreads of food & wine. From there during the Middle Ages came the extravagance of roasted meats, game birds, in beautiful displays to impress guests. The Renaissance period in Europe introduced the sophistication which now comes with grazing tables, stunning centerpieces surrounding by fruits, sweets and confections!
The modern resurgence of the grazing table trend originated in Australia and New Zealand. This concept rose in popular quite rapidly & is now an staple in the catering business. The are used for any event where food is required, weddings, birthdays, conferences, promotions, office party, holidays, baptisms, communions, baby-showers or any celebration/get together in ones life! These beautiful spreads primarily feature internationally recognized cheese & cured meats along with seasonal fruits, dips, & spreads. Due to the customizable nature of these services the table might also include salads, crudité, sandwiches, bagels, brunch boards (lox, cream cheese, pastries, etc.)
Sustainability...
Here at Bakes & Grazing we take pride in partnering with eco-friendly businesses to bring your charcuterie dream to reality. All of our boards are recyclable or re-usable. Our palm leaf platters can be either recycled or reused!
Our large BOARDS are definitely a keepsakes. We work directly with a small business owner who hand-crafts all of those beautiful boards - and PS if you ever want to get another board of that size we subtract the price of the board from the total & re-use the one you got originally - and if you simply wanna just rent it, we understand as well! We are carefully working with our distributor to transition to re-usable thick boards for all you platter needs - because charcuterie is a lifestyle not a trend.
Here at Bakes & Grazing we are all about sustainability & care for the environment. Whether that means charging a bit more the first time or waiting a bit longer for a product to be made for you by us <3
