Special Occasion Cook
Your Personal Chef
Let me cook for your special day so that you can enjoy the occasion.
I have catered for intimate dinners for 2, as well as backyard bashes for 175; from formal dinner served in courses, to casual, buffet-style fare. I have also prepared and packed community meals for delivery, a great idea for a shared meal during the pandemic. Additionally, I have prepared dishes to supplement food at parties you are hosting. I would be pleased to set up a consultation to see if I am well-suited for your gathering. Please Send me a message via the Contact form.
