Grazing in style with picnic boxes
The team at Cosma Catering, led by Leigh Shani, can help make your next outdoor picnic and get-together a fuss-free and delectable experience with a wide range of grazing boxes.
With Victorians celebrating the new easing of COVID-19 restrictions and embracing the opportunity to reconnect with friends and loved ones at outdoor picnics, delicious food is a must-have during these precious get-togethers.
However, choosing and preparing the right foods for an outdoor casual dining environment may prove a little different from cooking hearty meals in the comfort of one’s kitchen.
According to Leigh Shani, director of local catering business Cosma Catering, food options for casual picnics should be bite-sized and easy to eat, convenient enough for people to pick a piece and walk about, and also should be long-lasting and easy to transport with minimal mess.
Along with her team of expert chefs, Shani has created more than two dozen grazing boxes that offer a variety of themes and flavours ranging from a bagels and smoked salmon box and a fresh sashimi grazing set through to decadent cheese boxes and a delightful sweets box filled with fresh fruits, chocolates and other treats.
“We wanted to make sure there was something for everyone,” said Shani. “Classy cheese and fruit platters are great for adults to enjoy over a bottle of wine, while our grazing boxes of bagels, sandwiches and even falafels are perfect for family picnics. People looking for something unique should definitely try our fresh sashimi or sexy sushi boxes, and of course, who can go past a beautiful desserts box?
“There are also many kid-friendly options available, including favourites like pies and quiches and finger sandwiches.”
Shani has been delighted to have her grazing boxes become part of many long-awaited gatherings.
“While I’m sure many of us are still looking forward to eating out at our favourite restaurants or waiting for the opportunity to open our homes to our dearest friends and family, right now, the joy of being able to sit around a picnic blanket and enjoy the company of loved ones that we’ve missed so much is just wonderful, and I am so glad our grazing boxes can make these precious moments even more special,” she said.
With the ability to cater grazing boxes to suit a variety of dietary requirements, as well as offering a simple online ordering system that only requires grazing boxes to be ordered 48 hours in advance (72 hours for the Lox Bagel Box) with delivery direct to customers’ homes, Shani and her team have truly elevated the simple picnic experience into a gastronomical delight.
“From outdoors kids birthday parties to family reunions, or simply friends catching up for an evening drink and nibble in the park, there is a grazing box perfect for the occasion. We will also be launching a new High Tea grazing box later this week, filled with traditional and heartwarming favourites like scones and tea cakes,” said Shani.
“For customers who have their own unique ideas and concepts for grazing boxes, we are always very excited to work with their ideas to create a spread tailored to their requirements.”
