Grazing Tables are a new way to set up your buffets.
The table will be your canvas. The colours will be cold cuts, cheeses, fruit, vegetables, and small bakery products, like focaccia bread, taralli bagels, and breadsticks.
They are cold buffets. Nothing is cooked, fried, or baked except for the focaccia bread, if you feel like preparing it yourself.
All food is cut and ready to be ‘stolen’ from the table without having to be cut again by guests.
They are called Grazing Tables because guests can spend time ‘grazing’ around the table. This technique is used in small and big events in the US and Australia.
The ‘wow’ effect is guaranteed.
In our course, you will learn both the techniques for setting up a marvellous Grazing Table and how to organise your catering business, where to source your supplies, what products and materials to use, the food cost, and the final price.
We will provide you with what is needed to start a new business that will allow you to earn money right away.
Courses will be held in Italian, French, and on request, English and German.

About us
|
Let us introduce ourselves. We are Andrea e Francesca Evangelista, born in 1977, and a married couple. We define ourselves as Italian cuisine and culture enthusiasts. We have been living in Switzerland with our child for ten years.
We manage our own company, L'Italie dans la Poche, which is based in Neuchâtel Canton (Switzerland) and imports and sells Italian products in Switzerland. We became so passionate about Grazing Tables that in October 2022, we flew to Miami to improve and refine our techniques and specific knowledge with ad hoc professional courses. We have been setting up Grazing Tables for some time now as a catering business. We even became a supplier of the Italian Embassy in Bern for institutional events like the ‘Week of Italian Cuisine in the World’. |

At our Graze Academy, we have two objectives: teach you the techniques to set up Grazing Tables and provide you with all the tools needed to start a Grazing Table business that will allow you to earn money right away. We are sure you will love this world and be defined, as us, the ‘Arcimboldo of the tables’.
