Jeanne and her team came to prepare an amazing meal for my mom's 60th birthday party 2 weeks ago. It was EXACTLY what I envisioned. The food was delicious, the setup was beautiful, and everyone was super nice and fun! There was someone walking around passing out appetizers to our guests which was a great touch and she even connected us with a great bartender for the evening. We are definitely going to contact Jeanne again for a party or a girls day cooking class :)

Jeannie and her team were fantastic!! They made my birthday dinner party an amazing experience and an event that my family and friends are still raving about! I especially appreciated how Jeannie listened, was responsive and collaborative in building the menu and the event details. They took care of so many of the details that help set the stage! From table flower arrangements, to passing appetizers, to individual espressos and cappuccinos… they let me enjoy my party!! Oh yes… and with their magic… dishes were done and kitchen was left in perfect order! Our dinner menu transported us to Italy and the highlight was a peppercorn encrusted filet mignon and a baked shrimp scampi. Both were delicious and perfect! And the birthday cake…WOW!!! I’m Jeannie’s newest and biggest fan!! Would highly recommend her services! Laura in Dana Point
