The results from our “Taste of Dixie Zero Waste Event"

Curious about what a Zero Waste Event is?

A Zero Waste Event (or "ZeeWee" as it has been nicknamed) is one in which event organizers plan ahead to reduce solid waste from the event, reuse various elements such as banners, and set up Zero-Waste Stations for those recyclable and compostable materials such as paper cups, food scraps, and plastic water bottles that are generated by the event. ZeeWees can range from large scale sports events to weddings and parties. -Wikipedia

Here are the results from our  Taste of Dixie Zero Waste Event:

81.70% of all of the waste was diverted. We were so proud to be a part of this event, and we plan on having many more successful Zero Waste events in the future.

When it's too hot for your employees to work, it's time for an Ice Cream Social from Provence Catering!!!

Wow it’s hot.  TOO HOT TO WORK HOT!!!  Since early May, it' been a white hot furnace in Philadelphia and the entire Delaware Valley is suffering.  Productivity has been down throughout the region.  It's time to take action and fight back.  We have a great idea you might want to consider.  We recently catered a corporate ice cream social for 500 people and it was a huge success.  Employee morale had been down due to the heat and something needed to be done to get productivity back on schedule.  We proposed an Ice Cream Social with a Smoothie Bar and the frozen refreshments worked wonders. With summer winding down, it's time for everyone to get back to work,  Maybe your staff just needs an employee attitude adjustment as well.    Just a thought….  Cooler heads will prevail.

With Leiby's Premium Ice Cream at the ready, we would give you a very sweet deal.   No pun intended.

Let Them Eat Cake

Desserts are my kryptonite; cakes, cookies, cupcakes, pies, pastries, brownies, you name it, I savor them all. Desserts are the ultimate ending to any meal or, well, are sometimes just a meal all on their own. Provence's kitchen is constantly cooking up decedent and mouth watering desserts that are the talk-of-the-town. The aroma of our chocolate praline bombe, apple blueberry crisp, blondies, and creme brulee waft through the air in our office make our staff jumping off the walls for a taste.

Our world-class executive pastry Chef Nicole Endrikat makes some of the best pastries and she’s starting to get recognized around the area to be to the go-to for crème de la crème of pastries, cakes, cookies and much more. Nicole will be representing Provence in the competitive "Let Them Eat Cake 2010" event, the premiere wedding cake design competition of the year. This year the competition will be hosted at the Loews Hotel - Philadelphia on April 12th.

The theme for this year’s event is "A Wedding Through a Child's Eyes." All proceeds benefit City of Hope, and there will be complimentary cake, champagne and door prizes. All of Provence will be out there to support our top pastry chef and we invite you to come cheer on Nicole with us!
