About
Hi! My name is Rica! My team's duty is to bring fine dining to your home, an epicurean experience that will satisfy your palate!
Every customer's menu is modified to their enjoying; including cooking styles from around the world or region, and also considering any dietary are confinements. Local's freshest ingredients are always used.
Cooking, it is the only thing that makes me happy and knowing my creativities makes others cheerful, as well. I appreciate making menus for individuals and families because they can get back home to a solid supper and have some quality time together. Instructing teens and adults good cooking skills is an option.
