Introduction: When I founded Erin’s Edibles I based it upon a “there are no rules” philosophy. Meaning I’ll never tell you that your event has to be done a certain way, it’s exactly your way. anyway that you prefer! I’m looking forward to helping more people enjoy 2023, and the upcoming 2024, minus the stress of preparing a perfect meal. Please give me the opportunity to help make your plans tasty as well as memorable!

Erin went above and beyond to create a memorable and enjoyable experience for us to celebrate New Year’s Eve. From the beginning, she was personable and flexible, responding to changes in plans and accommodating various dietary preferences. From the scrumptious charcuterie board to the delectable broccoli cheddar soup to the melt in your mouth prime rib, I ended the night feeling like I had dined at a five star restaurant. She even added speciality items for our children to feel included in the occasion. If you are looking for food that will leave your eyes rolling to the back of your head prepared by someone who is honest and hardworking, you have found your chef!!

Details: Holiday meal (Mother's day, Valentine's day, etc.) • 6 - 10 guests • Dinner • Premium (high end ingredients) • Dessert • American - formal • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

Erin was great at asking questions to find out what we wanted to celebrate my husband’s birthday! All my guests had a great time as did I because I just had to sit back and enjoy the party as Erin served us a great menu of appetizers and left my kitchen sparkling clean when she left

I planned a dinner for My Spouse's Birthday to be prepared in our home. Erin was a very easy to work with. She was extremely responsive and stayed in constant communication with me on every menu item. The menu consisted of a srimp Margarita appetizer and a spring mix salad with a vinegarette dressing and a seafoodbisque soup. Lobster and Salmon made up the main course meats with rostered root vegetables. Erin arrived promptly as she said she would. Our meal was prepared and served in a timely manner. Everything was absolutely delicious. We will use Erin again was we were extremely pleased with our meal. We absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a chef to come to their home or elsewhere they would have an event for a chef prepare a meal. Julian and Julia Johnson

Erin's Edibles's reply

Hello Julian and Julia, I don’t know if you remember me, however I came to your home and prepared a birthday dinner for you. I would like to ask you a huge huge favor. I was just lambasted by a non client on the Thumbtack app, being extremely, and wrong, accused of being a racist! I am wondering if you would be willing to take a few minutes to amend your wonderful review and somehow mention if you felt a “racist vibes” coming out of me. I am extremely upset my the accusations, especially since I had absolutely no idea that she was a woman of color! I would really appreciate any help you could take your time to submit. I hope that all is well with both of you and your son! Merry Christmas to you all. Thank you

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
In order to best meet my customers needs, I find that pricing out each event is the most fair method for everyone. If need be, I can bring everything needed including China, flatware and even table clothes with matching napkins. Need a beautiful vase of flowers, no problem. Erin's Edibles is a full service business.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to meet my new clients as soon as possible. I believe that the more I know about my client and their specific needs the easier it will be for me to create a perfect experience for them.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
While I have no formal culinary training I've spent quite a few years working both in restaurants and delicatesstins. I've been cooking almost all of my life and my family and friends are sure to show up when I'm cooking, at home or even on our boat! I've even had them drop in after simply driving by and "following their nose!"
