Disaronno's 'Disaronno Summer Camp'

Over the weekend of July 25, Disaronno took over the Capri Hotel in Southampton, New York, to host its first "Disaronno Summer Camp." For the daytime activities, which revolved around the hotel's central pool, staffers circled not only a Disaronno cocktail cart to guests, but also summer fare prepared on site by Michelin-starred chef Joe Isidori from Chalk Point Kitchen.

As with years past, Fox stocked its party with an impressive array of food. For instance, one buffet station held a selection of miniature potpies, while another had sushi chefs preparing kappa maki, Thai summer rolls, shrimp tempura rolls, and other Asian options. The selection of desserts was just as extensive and included bite-size Bundt cakes and pies, cookies, and sundaes.

Boston Lyric Opera's 2014 Opera Gala
Boston Lyric Opera's 2014 Opera Gala

The Boston Lyric Opera opened its 2014-15 season with the Opera Gala on October 10. The black-tie event, which drew some 300 guests, centered on a performance of Verdi's La Traviata, which tells the story of a French courtesan. In keeping with the theme, the Catered Affair prepared a French meal. The first course was a deconstructed salade nicoise with seared ahi tuna and caper vinaigrette.

Catered by Laurence Craig Catering, miniature sirloin sliders in potato buns were among the bite-size foods served during the event. In keeping with the event theme, each box bore a custom Veuve Clicquot postage stamp.
