If I could give Alison and Wendy a 10, I would.  They catered a small dinner party for me while I was visiting Portland.  EVERYTHING, and I mean EVERYTHING was perfect, from the service to the food.  From the first appetizer to the amazing dessert, my guests could not stop raving about the food.  There was no uneaten food left on any plate, and my guests gave them a resounding round of applause as Alison and Wendy left our little party.  The added bonus was the sparkling clean kitchen, down to cleaning the coffee press we had used in the morning.  I might have to make up an excuse to visit Portland again and host another party!

Alison is not just a talented chef, she is personable, funny, efficient and well worth contacting when you need someone to do the heavy food lifting for your next function. Our kick-off to the holiday season was a work party in our home. Along with her capable assistant Hilary, Alison ensured the food was delicious, fresh, and easy to manage while standing with a wine glass in hand. Her menu and repertoire are extensive and she is able to accommodate dietary restrictions easily. Hire her!! More...

Alison was amazing. She was great at communicating prior to the event and working on a menu together. We actually decided to cater our event with Indian food and all our guests were very impressed with the quality of food as well as the service. She is definitely a calming presence and always so pleasant during our event. I highly recommend Alison! More...

We used a Wonderland of Food for a corporate event earlier this month. It was a 5-hour event with passed apps the whole time.  Alison provided all of the food, servers, and bar tenders. We chose them based on their responsiveness, great menu options, and flexibility.  We got great reviews on the food and Alison went above and beyond trying to get our sliders to look like little basketballs!  One of my business managers said that they were hands down the best caterer they have used in the Portland area.  I  highly recommend A Wonderland of Food for your next corporate event.

Earlier in January 2018 I visited Portland OR and had the absolute pleasure of enjoying a small dinner party prepared by Allison Wonderland Tucker (a Wonderland of Food). She welcomed me into her home and I met some of her (& her husband's) friends, the feeling was warm and inviting.  Allison has a gift to make guests feel welcomed with both her charming demeanor and her delicious food (d'uh).Before I mention what she prepared for her main dish, I MUST point out that the snacks/finger food were perfect; an olive tapenade and a butternut squash & blue cheese spread that were to go on slivers of toasted baguette.  What made these ridiculously amazing appetizers was that she baked the baguettes too, fresh made bread!!!! I was blown away and frankly, I didn't think the squash and blue cheese would work BUT let me tell you.....the sweetness of the squash paired perfectly with the creaminess of the blue cheese.  I nearly devoured the whole bowl of that myself.For the main, she made 2 polenta tortas.  2 of them, and color coded! One was colored red, the other colored green.  Since this was a couple weeks ago, I unfortunately do not remember her secret ingredients but rest assured, it was delicious and perfect.  The tortas were light and yet satisfying.  I was completely taken aback.  how could I have 3 plates and yet not feel stuffed?That's just some of the magic that Allison can conjure.  I highly recommend you (& all of your friends) hire her immediately to feed your crew, whether it is a party of 50 folks or an intimate dinner party of 10.  Do yourself a favor Portland area.  A Wonderland of Food is totally worth it; delicious YES, surprising ABSOLUTELY, overwhelming NOPE.  Allison and the food she prepares are lovely!I am one satisfied customer who now considers Allison a friend More...

I recently hosted a small dinner party in Portland.  I was a little worried about finding a wonderful local chef as I live in Seattle, so I was thrilled when a friend recommended Alison.  We were not disappointed!  She could not have been kinder or more professional, and the food was amazing!  We also had some major guest list fluctuations the week of the event, but Alison handled it all so graciously and without batting an eye.  All in all, we had a fabulous experience with A Wonderland of Food, and we can't recommend Alison highly enough!

I was lucky enough to attend a recent party catered by Ms. Tucker and the excellent menu she  prepared was matched by the graciousness with which she served it.   Ms. Tucker herself is an absolute delight and consummate professional who provides that special touch of warmth and humor that makes any party a success.  Each of the wonderful savory selections (pork sliders, shrimp shumai, thai chicken and potato curry puffs, hazelnut crusted chicken, just to name a few) was a perfect bite of balanced, fabulous flavor.  Ms. Tucker prepared several sauces - each thoughtfully created to go with specific dishes but they were all so delicious, I ended up dipping everything into everything else. The food was mouthwatering, fresh, and perfectly prepared.Alison Tucker's food is so good, it can be a challenge to remain polite to other guests, as I contemplated sneaking off into the other room with an entire plate of the shumai. The irresistible chocolate cupcakes with buttercream icing signaled the final surrender of my New Year's diet resolution and they were so good, I am left with no regrets whatsoever. More...

I cannot say enough good things about 'A Wonderland of Food'... Ms. Tucker and her team are absolutely amazing. They made sure my parents 50th wedding anniversary party was a huge success. Alison's bespoke creations were superb. Her passed hors devours are delicious and varied.Each one carefully chosen and timed though out the cocktail party. Guests of all ages had something they loved. Gluten free guests were accommodated for. Brad, Alison's go to bartender, concocted incredible signature cocktails and made sure glasses were full!  Our guests were so impressed and we  did not have to worry about anything on the day, as Ms, Tucker had it all under control. I would not cater an event without her & her team ever again. More...

I've know the owner for years and her food is always top notch.  Clever, inventive, unusual, and delicious.  She's a terrific personality, very hard worker, and very much about hosting the appropriate affair with the food to go along with it.
