CONVENE CULINARY LOOKBOOK SPRING / SUMMER 2018
As the company’s Executive Chef overseeing our Spring/Summer menu, I’m excited to share that we are continuing to take a scientific approach to serving groups, not only in business settings but also now in more corporate-meets-social settings such as galas, corporate receptions, and benefit dinners.
The ingredients found in Convene’s 2018 Spring/Summer Menu are sourced from the local farms and fisheries in the regions in which we operate. Our partnerships with farms in the Northern Hudson Valley and the Fulton Fish Market provide us with fresh and sustainably sourced meat, seafood and produce. Our farm-to-table philosophy ensures every meal is not only in-season and delicious, but also ethically sourced.
Our research has proven that most participants at corporate-meets-social events prefer menu simplicity over being intimidated by the ‘unpronounceable.’ We aim to provide a menu that reflects what people feel comfortable eating, and further enhance that through freshness and a hint of surprise and delight.
Our love and passion for this menu stems from the belief that food has the power to bring people together.
I hope that your future event with us allows for a culinary experience that your attendees will praise you for. As always, we are happy to assist you in customizing your experience to ensure that you have the perfect program while you’re here!

Israeli Hummus Tahini Salad
We have included peppers in this season’s dishes in over
a dozen variations. Whether you like them hot or mild, raw
or roasted, peppers and chilies add a flavorful kick to the
Spring/Summer Menu. Piquillo peppers bring a refreshing,
acidic crunch to our Israeli Hummus Salad, while cascabel
chilies add smoky heat to our mole served with our grass-fed
Strip Loin. Peppers are loaded with plenty of vitamins and
minerals. Our partnerships allow us to cook with products
that are local, organic, and flavor-packed.

Nourish has become one of Convene’s most important and beloved design concepts within all of our venues. Providing unlimited snacks and drinks that are easily accessible, Nourish helps fuel participants through the day.
Nourishing the Body and the Mind
The ease of use gives attendees the same feeling of comfort they have when opening a best friend’s refrigerator: always available and accessible, and filled with a variety of unique options.
Each Nourish station is fully stocked with sweet and savory snacks, plenty of caffeine, and other hot and cold beverages. We are constantly curating and sourcing different products from local partners to always keep our Nourish offerings fresh and current.
