Chef Nikki saved us during the holidays, I called her the week I wanted to host an event. She immediately responded and was able to accommodate. She was prompt on the day of the event and the food was outstanding. I would definitely recommend her business.

I hired Chef Nikki to cater a surprise party for me and it was the best decision I made. She offered a tasting, so I was able to taste everything before my event. Based on that, we worked together to create a menu that was COVID friendly with finger foods, grab and go dishes, and all other food she served. She was very easy to work with and her prices were fair. The day of the event she was timely, professional, yet pleasurable with all of our guests, and the food was devoured. Without a doubt, hire!

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 21 - 35 guests • Cocktail hour / hors d'oeuvres • Standard (basic ingredients) • Southern • Barbecue • American - casual • Vegetarian or vegan • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

Ms. Nikki....GIRL! You may not even remember me, but the 4 of us certainly remember you, your FOOD & that DELICIOUS banana crunch cake! You put together a WONDERFUL last minute breakfast/brunch for my husband's birthday on Jan. 27, 2019 & delivered it to us at the Wyndham National Harbor, where we were staying for his birthday weekend. I am ASHAMED, because, as AWESOME as that food was, & as AWESOME as YOU were, I have apparently forgotten to do the review I promised (I swear I thought I did it, but don't see it anywhere). So...after a year plus, here it is. I just can't let it go like that because you did a BEAUTIFUL job....baybee....my guests STILL talk about it! Fried chicken....THE BEST...fried potatoes & onions....THE BEST....eggs...& I don't care for eggs that much...DELICIOUS....biscuits....sausage...bacon...& that CAKE. Girl, you do your THANG in the kitchen & it looks like a whole bunch of other people agree with me too. You were helpful, prompt, & the sweetest lady to us & we appreciate you coming thru for us on such short notice. I can't thank you enough for what you did. I can't wait to have a need for another caterer-& to get to have hubby make us drinks this time-& hope you'd be willing to come to Baltimore...I'll just make sure to make it worth-while lol. Thank you so much Nikki, & I'm sorry this took me so long to do.

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 3 - 5 guests • Dinner • Cocktail hour / hors d'oeuvres • Dessert • Standard (basic ingredients) • Dessert • Cold beverages (alcoholic) • American - formal • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • The personal chef travels to me
