Reply from Stillwater Catering
Thank you Gomati. I delight in cooking for all of you.
What’s your signature dish?
Mediterranean everything. Especially a Mezze platter, (Hummus, Baba Ghanoush, Tzatziki , feta cheese-filled grilled sweet peppers with balsamic glaze, Greek salad, vegan/vegetarian stews, kabobs, and various rice dishes. Main dishes include cedar-planked salmon with honey-mustard glaze, chicken Marbella, filet mignon with chimichurri, pork chile verde with fresh tomatillo sauce, and yellow Thai curry with tofu or meat.
How do you go about creating the perfect menu for your clients?
Tell me about your event, what you want to serve and let's go from there!! What are your favorite foods? Do you want the food served buffet or family style or plated? Do you want served appetizers before the meal while guests mingle? Do you or your guests have dietary restrictions?
From our first call, I will send you a draft menu we can change until it reflects your vision of the event.
What do you love most about your job?
Crafting food in a professional kitchen is my happy place, but what I love most is the joy of my clients and their guests from the sumptuous nourishment we deliver.
What inspired you to start your own business?
After culinary school, I worked for wineries, restaurants, caterers and retreat centers in Northern California. Catering large events, whether in a building or a farm field, challenged me to scale an food service operation and maintain the quality of food I cook at home. I achieved this competence, started my business and was rewarded by customers who loved the food I serve. I also found joy in cooking for retreats (spiritual, sports, educational) where the diversity of the daily menus is a key objective and the retreat duration (3-11 days) taxes the endurance of the kitchen crew. My intention is to contribute nourishment to enhance to success of the people on retreat.
Why should our clients choose you?
Chef Roxanne delivers great tasting, well presented food customized to your specific requirements. She will exceed your expectations so you will hire Stillwater Catering again and again.
Honest, dependable, mature, approachable and fair.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes, Stillwater Catering does go remote. Group events have been held in farm fields, barns and estates, sometimes requiring a field kitchen under a tent to be rented for on-site preparation. Retreats have been catered in Arizona, California, and North Carolina.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
Our Standard Operating Procedure requires all employees to stay home if they feel unwell, and if they begin to feel sick at work, to go home. We always have backup staff. Also, if the pandemic ramps back up, we will perform temperature checks and ask wellness questions before employees enter the kitchen. Under those conditions, masks, face shields, skull caps, handwashing, disposable gloves, aprons and jackets/or long sleeve shirts approved kitchen wear (cleaned & disinfected after each shift) may be required. Kitchen hygiene includes
cleaning and sanitizing workstations throughout the day. Contactless payment system, curbside and delivery can be arranged. Disposable biodegradable food containers and service ware can also be arranged. Please contact me if you have questions.
Party On Your Plate!
Ever want to throw a party without the conventional buffet or plated meal? If you want to stoke a party for maximum moseying and mingling, we offer a Party On Your Plate, where guests are offered a continuous feeding of appetizers, grazing boards and small bites. Some appetizers are passed through the crowd by servers, small plates of meat, chicken or fish may be served at a staffed expo station and other food is on platters for self-service.
Keep your guests munching and mingling, crank up the music and open the dance floor!!
