Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Typically I prefer a phone conversation to understand their desires. I outline my services offered, explain payment processes, and then craft a menu specific to their needs and wants with my creativity. No 2 menus are the same. Clients can expect me to arrive 1 hour prior to dinner and utilize their kitchen to prepare their dinner. Afterwards they will find it spotless!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Classically trained for 2 years at a technical school for culinary arts. Working at some of the highest hotels and honing my skills and customer service with over 22 years of experience.
