Tricia was great to work with! We had her come cook at a bachelorette party/birthday celebration and she was amazing. Starting out she was very quick to respond, gave us many options and amended things to fit with exactly what we wanted and even made many changes throughout the time leading up to the event without question. Once she arrived, she was very prepared, personable with all of the guests and had been helpful giving advice about other aspects of the trip. The food was amazing, she was great and I would highly recommend working with her!

Tricia was absolutely amazing!! She was so easy to work with, punctual, and her end product was delicious. We hired Tricia to cook for our Bachelorette party of 17 and we did an Italian- themed menu. Everything was incredible from appetizer to dessert and per person costs were extremely fair. I highly recommend Tricia for any private cooking / event needs you may have!

Chef Tricia came to our air bnb to cook dinner for my sisters bachelorette party and we had an incredible experience! The food was absolutely delicious and it was such a big hit amongst the guests. Chef Tricia was so responsive in the coming weeks planning the event and she was so swift cleaning up and setting up our meal in the kitchen (apps, dinner, dessert). I would highly recommend hiring her for your events!

Tricia was amazing for our bachelorette party. We have so many food restrictions and she was able to accommodate them all perfect. Her dairy free nachos are one is the best things we have ever tasted. I will be using Tricia for any of my events in the future.
