The food was great. The chef was very flexible about dropping off the food and even took the time to help us learn how to set up everything.
What’s your signature dish?
My specialties include Italian, Spanish and Asian cuisine although I have experience cooking many many others. Having worked at several steakhouses I feel especially comfortable on the grill, both in cooking meat and selecting the best quality in cuts. I've also become very apt at making vegetarian and vegan dishes that aren't your typical, dull, repetitive options.
How do you go about creating the perfect menu for your clients?
Your perfect menu consists of carefully crafted dishes that draw from my vast culinary knowledge. If there's a dish I'm not familiar with I always take it upon myself as a personal challenge to learn it.
What do you love most about your job?
Cooking is my way of sharing with the world. It is an intimate, essential part of human life and the fact that I can put a smile on someones face makes it feel more like an art-form.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Working in restaurants for most of my culinary career was an amazing educational journey but one that always restricted my creative freedom. In order to feel more fulfilled I left the restaurant world and took on a more personal cooking opportunity.
Why should our clients choose you?
Not only am I ambitious, highly-motivated and determined, I balance this with excellent social skills, tremendous generosity and personability.
