When I was asked to help host our Twister Christmas gathering, I had two requests... That I could have Chef Keltan Solorio from the Sheraton Hotel, in Downtown OKC, bring some of his incredible culinary delights and that guests could find out more and even donate to Fr. Paul Zahler's Home Integration(formerly known as The National Institute On Developmental Delays).
First the catering...
Let me just say when you have a party and you are a working mom, with a husband, 3 kids and 3 dogs... Preparing food for your gathering is too important to just work into a to-do list. A week or so after being asked, Chef and I came up with a list of AMAZING appetizers, that anyone would be proud to serve.
Among his delicious offerings were Broccoli and Garlic-Ricotta Toasts with Spicy Honey & a savory Spanish Garlic Shrimp everyone went nuts for!
He not only brings together irresistible ingredients, but a flavor packed punch guests can enjoy, while mingling and even holding a drink!
No one would have ever told me I would be she-she enough to get to serve something like a beautiful French pastry filled with mushrooms and parmesan, but wow... Chef's Wild Mushroom & Parmesan Palmier were simply fabulous! Seems they have a secret ingredient that is actually irresistible...
But the savory goodness doesn't stop there... Roasted Grape and Bleu Cheese Crostini with Honey Drizzle is something from a dream!
The 3-Cheese Onion Dip with Chive & Pepperoncini was outstanding and can serve big gatherings with ease!
Folks went nuts for the Lemon & Chervil Crab Salad Toast too!
Hang on .. Is that my mom sneaking a bite 😜
I'm sure you had Antipasto Display before... But WOW, this one truly had everything and Chef made sure we never ran out!
With such fresh and ingredients and put together in such a beautiful way, it truly was a feast for both eyes and tummy!
It's no wonder... Chef Keltan Solorio is a gifted culinary artist and he and the Sheraton will go above and beyond for you like they did me! So if you are needing a sit down dinner, for whatever size either at your place or if you just so happen to need a venue, let me just recommend Chef Keltan Solorio and the fabulous Sheraton Downtown! You will be impressed... And believe me, if he can impress this lady (yes that's my mom), then you must be REALLY GOOD!
See. He is generations in the making... And believe me, you can certainly taste his love for the culinary arts! I have no doubt you will be pleased! Booking now, at the Sheraton Downtown (405) 235-2780.
Now for my desire to share Home Integration with everyone and help folks come to know what I and so many already do... The kind of incredible blessing we have in our GREAT STATE that is something people travel the ends of the earth to find. Since St. Gregory's University closed, this life changing program lead by visionary Fr. Paul Zahler, has been displaced. But recently former Governor Henry has changed all of that and now, this program built on love is looking to the community for the kind of love that can build mountains!
