I have ordered many food dishes from Gwen Robinson over the past 5 years. They were all delicious and creative. My favorite, I'll think, are the eggplant parmessan vegan style with homemade cheese and the cheesy corn- rice casserole with cashew pimento cheese. It has a wonderful buttery rich flavor without all the unhealthy fats. She is very creative and can put together many raw vegan recipes that don't taste like salads but fill you up and you will never be bored. Zuccihini pasta with homemade tomato sauce and broccoli with red pepper and sunflower salad are some of my favorite raw vegan recipes. I believe she will come up with a healthy menu that will satisfy your appetite and help your health as well. Make sure to try her extra moist and flavorful carrot cake and breads. Gwen also makes wonderful vegan burgers all from scratch that can be taken as a lunch with homemade pickles and garnishings on homemade buns.

My name is Ms. Lola Nathan, a recently retired Public School Administrator. It gives me great pleasure to write this review for Gwen Robinson. I've known Gwen for over 30 years and our best times have been spent singing and cooking. She specializes in vegetarian, vegan, cooked, and raw foods. We have spent many hours preparing dishes like vegan potato salad, whole wheat dinner rolls, vegetarian meat loaf, roasted veggies, vegan eggplant parmigiana, raw seasoned kale, baked sweet potatoes, vegan burgers, all types of potatoes, every kind of vegetable, fruit, cake, apple crisp and so much more. Our latest collaboration was vegan lentil loaf in which we added organic shredded carrots, organic chopped celery, organic chopped onions, ground flax seed, nutritional yeast, liquid smoke and some seasonings to our organic lentils. It was so delicious that the guests I invited for dinner wanted to take slices of the lentil loaf home for the next day. Juicing is an integral part of our health practices. One of our most healthful combinations is kale, spinach, celery, carrots, and a touch of ginger, all organic! We know it's best to juice our vegetables and eat our fruit. Juiced veggies go straight to our cells giving strength and vitality to our whole body. Fruit we eat raw because this way cleanse our digestive system. Gwen prepares excellent fruit platters! Gwen is busy but she makes time for people like me who care about their health and want great tasting food. It doesn't take us long to do anything. I get all the ingredients, she does the preparing with me. Sometimes I just have her prepare meals for me for special occasions! She gets rave reviews, is easy to work with and is patient with all whom she is instructing. Gwen has taught many of my associates and friends how to make different tasty entrées and treats. She has no problem sharing recipes and keeps some with her. Young and old alike love whatever she prepares. She makes her own dough, from scratch, for fried dough & pizzas! Wonderful!! She is one of the best vegetarian Chef's I know. Always rave reviews! Always!! We know her as Ms. G, the personal vegan chef. Truly, Ms. Lola Nathan

Gwen, or Mrs. G as my family calls her, was awesome and the food was delicious! We had vegetable lasagna with a healthy tossed salad (Gwen added all kinds of veggies and seed) garlic rolls and chocolate brownies for dessert. Biting in to the brownie was an exotic experience of velvety chocolate goodness! 100% recommend this lovely lady and her tasty dishes! PS, Gwen came to our house during a snow storm! When she says she is going to be there, no rain, sleet or snow could keep her away! Professional and kind hearted. Mrs. G, we totally LOVE you!

Ms. G's Tutoring, Catering and More's reply

Jody, you and your family are so nice! I’d do it again, no problem!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I have to take in consideration my traveling to far distances, the time it would take to prepare particular dishes, whether the ingredients are premium or not, the special needs of the customer/student, if there's more than one or two participants.(class only). The situations all vary so I have to take each job, and come with a fee that meets my needs as well as the client's! A repeat customer will get a 10-15% discount for future orders or for a referral who does their business with me!
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to know the customer’s ultimate goal. Good-Great Food, pleasant atmosphere, quick yet pleasant service, or just to have someone else to prepare the meal! So I ask questions and make suggestions, I’m very adaptable to change. I’d like to have a couple of conversations with the client(s) and if possible and necessary, meet with them, at least once, in person before the planned date. *Even a sampling of some the main dishes is possible*. This is all about the client getting their needs met. (And Loving It😊👌🏾!)
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I’ve had my ServSafe Certification since 2010, National Restaurant Association, and recently renewed it on April 27, 2018 *Certificate #16361688 I also have a *Food Service License No. 18-0653 issued 5/14/2018 In September 2010, I took part in the Northeastern Conference Medical Missionary Training, at Omega SDAChurch in New Haven, CT. which included many cooking classes. In 2008, I was trained at Hallelujah Acres, in Washington, DC. as a vegetarian Health Minister. In 1999, I began Training as an Entering Wedge Cook in Exeter, Missouri. About 7-8 yrs. each summer and or fall. In 1975, I attended a Health Training presentation from Uchee Pines Institute(Seale, AL), the presentation was held in New Haven, CT on Humphrey St. I learned the causes to most diseases at that time and became a vegetarian. 2 or 3 years later I attended a Health and Wellness Training by the same company held Victory Lake Camp, Poughkeepsie , NY.
