| Fresh Face: Caterer Nisa Lee |
|
What She Does: Lee is the founder of Westchester-based Asian fusion catering company Thai at Home, which offers gourmet Thai and Asian fusion cuisine for events with up to 300 guests in the tristate area and the Hamptons. While other caterers have picked up on the Asian fusion trend with a few dishes, Lee specializes in it. She also offers her clients the option of cooking at the event in view of guests, for a more exciting experience.
Her Background: Thailand-born Lee has cooked
traditional cuisines from her native land since she was a child, and
later experimented with more contemporary dishes that mix Thai and
other Asian flavors with Western culinary concepts. After founding her
own company, she quickly built her client base, which includes Greenwich Capital and Time Warner Inc.
Her Style: “I think my business took off because
people appreciate my modern, pared-down style,” she says. She serves on
square porcelain trays ornamented with orchids, and food on her buffet
tables sit upon slate-colored trivets. “My presentation is clean and
simple. I let the vibrant colors in the food bring out the dish.”
Favorite dishes include squash and coconut milk soup, and pan-seared
coconut shrimp with Thai cocktail sauce.
