Q. What important information should buyers have thought through before seeking you out?
A. Have an idea of what kind of meals you'd like to have prepared for you; what you don't like to eat, and how much you are looking to spend. This helps me design a menu that is just right for you!

A. What are your prices? We don't have set prices on the food we prepare because each client has different tastes, dietary requirements, and budgets. We tailor everything to meet those requirements.
Q. Do you have a favorite story from your work?
A. A recent customer received a gift certificate from his wife for a private lesson to learn to make fresh pasta. He was so excited; we made two kinds of stuffed pasta: ravioli and cannelloni. He invited friends over to enjoy the outcome and they all loved it. When I arrived, I received a handshake--when I left; I got a hug.
Q. What do you wish customers knew about you or your profession?
A. It's more affordable than you think. We customize all of our services to meet the needs of the clients tastes, diet, and budgets.

A. I am a career changer. I spent 25 years as a project manager in Corporate America. I've always been a passionate home cook, so decided to make it a profession two years ago. I couldn't be happier now....good food makes people happy and I like being around happy people.
