I have used Cindy as a caterer for medium sized (50-10) parties for years. Always professional, always delicious, a pleasure to work with.

Cindy has provided drop-off catering for several events (mini-muffalettas - yum!). I have also attended her class on Cajun/Creole cooking. The class was very fun and informative. Her cooking professionalism are top-notch. She is also a wedding officiant and performs a beautiful ceremony!

Cindy came over to my house to teach me how to cook gumbo. She went over the history of the dish and the various ways it could be prepared (Cajun versus Creole, etc.). It was a great experience and I will definitely have her over for another cooking class soon!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I have a price list for individual menu choices - I multiply that by number of guests, and add in the fee for my time , the time of any staff I may hire and if applicable, equipment rental. My fees for event planning, officiating, and entertainment services (tarot) are hourly.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I will email a customer and ask them how they envision their event. If I am providing food / Beverage service, I will ask them what their "dream menu" would be, and then I will use that information to help them choose selections from my menu which fit with their tastes and budget. Sometimes people are not exactly sure what they want or need - I find that helping the client realize their "perfect event" will make the planning a breeze.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have studied catering through continuing education courses during my 20 plus years in the food service business. I have worked with major companies in San Francisco (Palate) and New Orleans (Pigeon, PartySist), as well as many fine restaurants in both of those cities. I have also been a cooking instructor in New Orleans for Crescent City Cooks!, Delgado Community College, and Jefferson Parish.
