menus — themed menu

At Ravishing Radish Catering, our food philosophy is simple – we create menus based on what is currently in season, allowing the quality of the ingredients to shine. The following menus provide just a brief “sampling” of our approach to simple, fresh and seasonal food. As ingredients change seasonally, these changes are reflected in our menus. Chef Pam is also happy to work directly with you to design a unique menu for your event, celebrating what is in season.
