Karen asked her niece, Jamie, for some of her favorite Summer recipes and we’re excited to share them with you.

Crudités are raw vegetables that are cut into small pieces, sticks, or thinly sliced. They are usually served with some sort of dip. In  this preparation, we individualize each portion rather than serving on a communal platter. The key is to combine a lot of different shapes and colors.

Jamie and her husband, Jayson, are a team of chefs who own and operate a bespoke catering, private chef, and meal delivery company based in Santa Barbara, CA. Together, they created a business that blends their passion for food, family, friends, and great parties. For more information on them, visit Poe and Co.
