Chef Maggie is amazing! Before working with her, our meals were scattered and generally unhealthy, lots of take out and the like. We thought we didn't have time to cook healthy and quality meals, but we were wrong! She quickly determined the best ways to improve our diet, and worked with us to actually create meals that are healthy and delicious. Her meal plan has been perfect for us as novices, the meals are easy enough to create but sophisticated enough that we feel great about investing the time to prepare and enjoy them. It's such a relief knowing that we're eating well, and we couldn't have gotten on track without the expertise of Chef Maggie! I can't recommend her enough!!!

Maggie catered and managed my at-home wedding brunch for 30 people. The food was delicious and met the dietary preferences of all my guests without making anyone feel singled-out as "special needs". The centerpiece was a whole poached icelandic salmon (sustainably sourced) with three sauces: piquant yogurt and dill, chimichurri, and a curried mayonnaise. An orzo salad with scallions, cranberries, almonds (on the side) and vinaigrette, a jewel-toned chopped salad highlighted by slivered snow peas and pomegranate seeds, a spectacular antipasto platter of local cheeses and meats, fresh fruit and berries, and of course various breads completed the meal. Working with Maggie was a pleasure. She immediately understood that I wanted an elegant but homey feel and suggested turning my whole, not enormous, kitchen into the buffet so that we could maximize seating for the guests throughout the rest of my new, un-renovated, still somewhat box-filled apartment. I am more than a little obsessive, so it was reassuring that Maggie was always available to me and communicated clearly. And she was on time in plenty of time for the event. Everything was spotless when she left. And the price was right.

I worked with Chef Maggie to cater a baby shower for about 50 people. She prepared all the food and I helped display the food onto platters, serve the food, and clean up. Working with her was not only smooth and easy but was fun and exciting! She was relaxed, organized, and extremely professional. Because she had prepared so thoroughly for the event, we were able to enjoy chatting with each other and the guests as we worked. She stayed well within the customer's budget and the food was amazing!!

Chef Maggie is an absolute delight! And her food is amazing too. She worked patiently with me to plan meals- mostly because I’m picky- working with my quirks and working to introduce new, healthy things into my diet that I wouldn’t have reached for myself! She created simple, healthy, fresh delicious meals that my fiancé and I truly enjoyed. We got restaurant quality food from our home kitchen, made with expertise and love. Can’t recommend Chef Maggie enough.

Maggie killed it!! She listened to what we wanted and executed with utmost professionalism. She takes pride in her work and it shows, not to mention the food will blow you away! She is a pleasure to have around too, which is the icing on the cake :)

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I can work with customers to create a budget and price point that is right for them. For larger events, I typically will hire 1-3 additional people which may affect the overall cost.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like the meet the client in person and discuss their needs, goals, and expectations. No matter what the client is contacting me for it is my priority to get a firm idea of the services they require. From there we get to have fun and talk about food!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been working in restaurants for 13 years. From high-end steakhouses to Malaysian bistros to gastropubs, I have trained in a variety of cuisines and levels of service. Additionally, I have worked for exclusive diet-programs that cater to each client individually.
