Catering Services
You are in the right kitchen, if you are looking for a caterer that will listen! A caterer that offers variety, and one where all entree’s suggested are made from scratch with fresh ingredients? If variety and fresh are important to you, then we need to talk. I believe in creating relationships that last. Why, because I care. I care from the beginning and continue to care until the last dish is dry and the towel has been hung. Your events, are important, whether they are small and intimate or large gatherings they deserve attention to all of the details. I get many requests for everything from private in-home parties, large groups, to many different kinds of events. I have broken it down a bit for your convenience. Regardless of how we define your catering request, it’s important. I will listen to your thoughts, concerns and needs and produce a product backed by stellar service to make your event a success.
Private In-home Parties
I do several In-home parties every year. These range from 8 to 16 people on average. They do get smaller or larger on occasion. I have made everything from tenderloin, salmon, grilled steak and shrimp to pulled pork sandwiches. Soups, salads, veggies and desserts are often included in the mix. I will often prep, and prepare the meal in my kitchen and then finish it in the clients kitchen. Serve the meal and clean as we go thru the event/party. Everyone is different, the options are endless.
Large Group Gatherings
For large group gatherings the price points tend to be tighter and the needs are driven by different goals and agendas. I work hard to suggest menus and options to make the meal stand out and special. Most times, its simply balancing the price with the right wow factor on taste. Simple can win the day and fit into the budget! Either way, I will not compromise on cooked from scratch and fresh.
Events
For events, I have contributed Chili, or pulled pork, or large muffins, whatever the event coordinator has needed. I don’t have to do the entire meal. I can contribute only the parts asked for. I do have a ton of experience planning, organizing and implementing events and can also be a resource for many pieces. My experience has helped many customers navigate the process. When I can be a multiple resource, that is a win, win,
Client Testimonials
Renee has been providing private chef services for me and my son for over a year and it’s been amazing. Not only does she cater to my sons allergies, and dietary restrictions, but the food is always amazing. She plans the menu and delivers to my home weekly. It’s a huge time saver for me being a single mom, and I also love that I know the food I’m feeding my son is safe, organic, never processed and delicious. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for delicious and healthy food.
