Specialty Catering Abounds
Enrolling in a catering school can prepare you for a number of catering jobs in the increasingly popular specialty catering field. You could cater a Western BBQ, a Hawaiian luau, or a Fisherman�s Wharf seafood buffet.International Food Catering
Catering schools offer classes that show you how to prepare ethnic or regional cuisine including Italian, Mexican, German, French, Greek, and Pacific Rim dishes. Some caterers specialize in Jewish favorites such as latkes, matzo ball soup, challah, gefilte fish, and chopped chicken liver. Other caterers specialize in kosher food, which is prepared according to Jewish dietary laws or halaal food, which is prepared according to Islam. One catering company even offers an Indo-Canadian feast.American Food Catering
Specialty catering companies offer vegetarian or vegan menus or target health-conscious consumers with low carb or low fat menus. One catering company in the Netherlands specializes in "a wide range of American regional and ethnic food from Tex-Mex to New York Style Cheesecake; from Southern Fried Chicken to the Mediterranean inspired dishes of Northern California and the Pacific North West" As part of their American "regional and ethnic" menu, they also offer a NYC diner entr�e as well as Mom's mac and cheese, a perennial favorite.Drinks Only Catering
A very specialized Texan catering company serves only drinks. Dark chocolate and macadamia nut hot chocolate, spicy chai, and hazelnut, cinnamon nut, and raspberry mocha lattes are some of their exotic catering offerings.Specialty Catering Jobs
There is a niche for almost any type of specialty catering that you might pique your interest. Enrolling in a catering school can provide you with the necessary culinary skills to fill the growing number of specialty catering jobs. Catering jobs are available in both large corporate catering concerns as well as smaller boutique catering companies. You might also parlay your particular food passions into a specialty catering company of your own.Sources
