Teresa was responsible for virtually all aspects of a small plates (soup, fish, pasta, meat & dessert) and wine pairing (6 x 2) dinner party I hosted in September, 2015. It was an evening I will never forget! Teresa paired New and Old World wines for each course (including hors d'oeuvres) which I think was a great idea, and described each wine in detail before our tastings. I learned a lot since Teresa is so knowledgeable about wines. The wines she selected were very good, including some I like so much I've since purchased for my personal consumption. Plus the food was FABULOUS! Teresa selected most courses considering my "likes" (though she thankfully persuaded me to also "broaden my culinary horizons"), guest dietary restrictions and seasonally available ingredients. Bottom line, I will definitely ask Teresa to help me with future events since she is by far the best caterer I've ever employed.

Recently Teresa has prepared some dinners for me and they were absolutely delicious. So fresh and tasty. She also worked with me to satisfy my very picky husband whom I have never been able to cook anything for. It is such a pleasure to be able to eat a great meal at home prepared by Teresa and not have to go out to dinner. She is quite reasonably priced as well. She also had great recommendations for wines to pair with our meals. We will be using her again.

Teresa was the chef for a Make a Wish event we did this summer. We are raising money all year in hopes of granting three wishes in 2017. Teresa was fabulous to work with, generous and organized. Our event was so fun and Teresa demonstrated a delicious dinner and made it fun for everyone to be involved. Our friends are still talking about that night.

Teresa has organized and planned the menu and rental needs for a 32 person wedding reception. She did an incredible job of listening to our vision and coming up with beautiful and creative ideas on how to execute that vision. She has great connections and knowledge of rental needs, which took a HUGE stress off my plate. She has been patient, gracious and generous with her time. She has incredible energy and knowledge and has made a potentially stressful event an enjoyable and fun experience. HIGHLY recommended!!!! She's amazing!

I worked with Teresa over the phone from Boston as she lives near my parents who recently retired to Raleigh. She planned a cooking class for my parents to introduce new and delicious ideas catering to a very restrictive diet they have for health reasons. My parents loved it! Teresa was very patient with scheduling everything, had strong follow through, is very professional and according to my parents was fun to work with. Thank you, Teresa!!!
