CATERING AND RECIPES BY Bruce and Leslie Schlernitzauer of Porcupine Provisions

Despite careful planning for a beautiful, outdoor seated dinner complete with
farm tables, lights and candles, you just can’t mess with Mother Nature! Instead
of canceling the party, we cleared out the living room and moved inside. It was
the perfect “indoor-outdoor” party, with a setting that sparked great conversation. Plus we all stayed dry!
These are wonderful recipes that can be made ahead and warmed at the last minute, leaving you free to mingle and enjoy your guests.
The dinner was in honor of The McColl Center for Art + Innovation’s National
Board. The McColl Center is a nationally acclaimed contemporary art center
dedicated to connecting art and artists with the community. The center houses
nine artist studios and over 5,000 square feet of gallery space.
Porcupine Provisions is one of Charlotte’s most well-known and trusted caterers.
Leslie and Bruce Schlernitzauer opened Porcupine Café in 1996 in Dilworth. They
started catering in 1999 under the name of Porcupine Provisions. Clients count on
Porcupine to provide creatively presented, innovative food as well as any and all
services to make your event a success.
