At MAIA PEARL CATERING we believe the best ingredients are the foundation for fabulous food. There is no substitute for excellence. We provide the highest level of cuisine and are passionately driven by our love of great food.
- Our commitment to quality food lies in the details and we choose only the finest markets to pick our ingredients. We get our prime meats from Citarella, the freshest fish from Pisacane Seafood, and beautiful organic fruit, herbs and vegetables are handpicked at the Union Square Market. These are components which translate into the most memorable meals.
Maia Pearl Catering guarantees the freshness and quality of the ingredients and the skilled techniques to turn out beautiful and delicious culinary creations to feed the body and soul. 
Carrots’ leafy green tops look good and are indicators of freshness but if left attached too long can cause the carrots to lose moisture. Remember to remove the leaves and stalks before storing the carrots.
Seafood should smell clean and salty like the sea never “fishy.” Freshwater fish should have almost no smell other than a slight scent of lake or river water.
I always choose a well marbled cut of meat. This helps the meat stay juicy while cooking.
