My journey into the world of culinary passion and hospitality began at an early age, nurtured by my love for great food and a natural inclination toward creating warm and inviting experiences. Growing up in a bustling family, I watched my mother seamlessly host countless holidays and gatherings at our home, igniting my passion for the art of bringing people together through food.
Over the course of a decade, I honed my skills within the restaurant industry, starting as a hostess and gradually working my way up to roles as a server, bartender, and eventually a restaurant manager. It was during my tenure as a restaurant manager that I crossed paths with Chef Kevin in 1997. We spent two remarkable years working together and, even after I transitioned into the business world, our friendship endured. Our shared love for culinary adventures led us to co-host unforgettable dinner parties on numerous occasions.
In 2008, I ventured into entrepreneurship by founding a personal assistance company. The following year, I approached Chef Kevin with an idea to offer private chef services to some of my clients. What began as a simple private chef and meal delivery service, where clients could effortlessly heat up gourmet dishes at home, soon evolved into a broader culinary journey. We expanded our offerings to include dinner parties, cocktail soirées, and even luncheon drop-offs. In March 2011, we made the decision to formalize our unplanned business venture.
Our culinary inspiration extends far beyond the kitchen, as we’ve embarked on adventures around the world, relentlessly researching and brainstorming to unearth new ideas and flavors. This relentless pursuit of innovation is at the core of our ever-evolving menus. We embrace experimentation, constantly seeking to stay ahead of the curve, while maintaining a deep commitment to supporting local farms.
Our innate ability to understand our clients’ desires and translate their visions into reality is a hallmark of our service. We take immense pride in our talent for serving others, ensuring that each event we create is a memorable culinary journey.
