About

My service stands out from most because I cook with my heart and soul. I not only love what I do but I actually enjoy it.

I am able to provide great service because I have mastered the art of listening. I listen to the needs of my clients and I bring their vision to life. LOVE is the main ingredient in all of my dishes. I enjoy the look and sound of satisfaction after my clients and their guests have completed their meals. It is a very rewarding feeling.

Frequently asked questions

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

My process when working with any customer, whether new or returning is to hear their ideas and visualize their vision so that i can provide the best service and they can have a memorable event.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

I am a self taught cook... I have a natural gift for preparing amazing meals... I begin to visualize my layout and decor the second I'm hired for an event, that's something that can't be taught in any class.

Do you have a standard pricing system for your services? If so, please share the details here.

My pricing is based on the complexity of the menu and the amount of guests that are estimated to show up. I will not quote a drop off at the same rate that I would quote a plated meal.

How did you get started in this business?

I fell in love with cooking when I was 13yrs old. I made my first dish when I was 13 and I fell in love with cooking. I've done private dinners, I've done events that has had close to 200ppl and everything in between. I did not start the true business side until many years later. I figured out that creating amazing dishes was my gift and that's when I started to capitalize on it.

Describe a recent event you are fond of.

Although I treat each event as if it's my first love, i am very fond of brunches. I love when the brunch or any event for that matter, is a blank canvas and the customer allows me the opportunity to create my own masterpiece.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?

The advice I would give a customer looking to hire a chef or a caterer for an event that they are hosting is to know and understand your guests. You want to know the allergies, the likes and the dislikes. It's important to know what your guests eat and what they do not eat. Although you are the host, when you are inviting someone to your function you want them to enjoy themselves.

What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?

The questions a customer should think of prior to hiring a caterer or a chef for an event is:

1. What the chefs specialties are. Some cooks are only good at making certain things. You don't want to hire someone to make southern dishes and all they know how to make are italian dishes.

2. What the prices are and what it includes. You want to make sure that the chef or caterer that you are considering will fit into your budget.

3. You also want to know before hand if there will be a functional kithcen for the chef/caterer because that is a question that will be asked.
