We had such a great time planning this farm-to-table weddign menu! The couple wanted local Santa Barbara produce and the farmers markets never disappoint. We cooked up a delicious family-style dinner, featuring the freshest organic ingredients. And a dinner reception in a greenhouse? What's not to love?

Read moreRoasted Beets with Walnut Vinaigrette
Beets are available year round though they are at their best in spring and late summer through fall. Beets are not only delicious with their earthy flavor but packed with nutrients, an excellent source of fiber, folic acid, beta-carotene, and antioxidants.

At Savoir Faire Catering we like to serve beets as a star attraction in various salads, as part of an antipasti platter, or tossed with other roasted root vegetables.

But with Courtney and Jackson's November 4, 2016 wedding, we saw the lower area transformed in a completely new and beautiful way.
