At Vicky Crease Catering, food is luscious

abundance and an avenue to the soul. I love

to present stylish gourmet offerings with

impact and visual appeal, always making

a great impression. At events, other than

ensuring that people are fed, for me, the

biggest raison d’etre is to take guests on a

culinary adventure and ensure that the food

is delicious and memorable.

I love the look of a group of clear glass

canisters filled with luscious sweeties at a

candy bar or refreshing salads in huge glass

bowls. We even serve soup in frosted glass

tumblers and finish them off with a sesame

grissini stick or exotic stir-fries in stylish

square glass plates, as well as fabulous glass

jars and jugs grouped together at a ‘Mojito

Bar’. Visual impact is paramount for me, and

the beauty of serving food in glass is that it

always looks appetising and delicious.

Glass ~ the healthy choice

Servings of great taste

Transparent by nature – the clarity of glass lets you showcase its contents

When it comes to healthy eating, taste is

essential. When it comes to preserving

taste, glass is the only packaging that

does this – naturally – ensuring the quality

and flavours of your food and drinks

remain exactly as they were intended.

Delicious.

The enviable qualities of glass make it the obvious choice when storing and preserving

Made from all natural substances, glass is completely

inert, preserving the shelf life of its contents for longer

while maintaining their purity.

It’s good, it’s in glass!

76% of people, when questioned, said they found the quality of food and beverages packaged in glass to be higher.*

0908

90% of people say glass is

the healthiest packaging.* But

health is only one of a number

of reasons to choose glass. It’s

recyclable, reusable, preserves

taste and its contents for longer,

and it has a sense of style and

class that no other packaging

brings to the table.

* April 2011 Omnibus survey of 1 000 consumers in the continental U.S.

Happy and successful cooking doesn’t rely only on know-how; it comes from the heart, makes great demands on the palate and needs enthusiasm and a deep love of food to bring it to life.”

Choose Pure.

Choose Great Taste.

Choose Glass!

Attractively practical,

consistent in form and

limitless in function,

glass is as reliable

as it is versatile

In the words of Mary Lou Cook, creativity is inventing, experimenting,

growing, taking risks, breaking rules, making mistakes, and having fun. The

same should apply when cooking, creating, serving or storing in glass!

Georges Blanc

You can literally see the freshness of your food.

Because glass containers don’t mix or

react with their contents, even when

heated, your food will be protected from

contamination, leaving the choice of what

you eat and drink entirely up to you.

Raise a glass to health … clink clink!

Choose to savour the sweetness of life with glass at your side

“The two biggest sellers in bookstores are the cookbooks and the diet books. The cookbooks tell you how to prepare the food and the diet books tell you how not to eat any of it.”

1514

With so many things to consider

when choosing packaging, you

can relax in the knowledge that

glass packaging will not only

help keep you healthy, but will

also keep your food and drinks

tasting delicious. Good for your

well-being. Good for you!
