About

Creative takes on classic dishes

I enjoy creating dining experiences for each individual. I pride myself on accommodating each client’s needs and desires. Based on your personal preferences, dietary needs, and your theme or particular style of event, I will help you create your own menu. From there, you will get a quote based on the market value of the menu items along with the level of service.

    Frequently asked questions

    I like to talk to clients to get a feel for exactly what they want. I tailor every catering to each client. 

    I have been cooking all of my life. I have been  an assistant to catering chefs around the world (from USA to Austria, Italy and Northern Africa), and I have recently decided to venture out on my own.

    I believe that I am more than reasonable. I do not feel you have to spend a lot of money for a good dining experience.
