Introduction

Free Range Kitchen is a full service Event/Personal Chef company with an emphasis on providing our guests with an culinary experience from both the food and service side. We have supported local producers in preparing our event menus, keeping the experience that much closer to knowing where your food came from Our team is lead by our Proprietor/Chef, Eric Stenberg, who brings 30+ years of experience and innovation. A bit about Eric: Eric developed the food and beverage programs at Moonlight Basin’s Jack Creek Grille, The Club at Spanish Peaks, the Resort at Paws Up and the Savory Olive Restaurant during his time in Montana. We have recently relocated to the Coachella Valley where Eric's wife Laurie grew up. Eric’s holistic approach truly makes him a dining connoisseur. The ingredients behind the meal, the preparation, the delicate pairing of food and wine and the ambiance are all chosen with careful attention to detail creating a truly soulful experience. Quality of ingredients and exceptional service round out the hallmarks of a meal or event crafted by Eric.

First clue to a good experience is responsiveness, well done! Difficult to find these days. Food & presentation was excellent, we chose "Asian Fusion". The lettuce wraps and chicken skewers were my favorite, I was nervous about dry chicken but it was delightful and the wraps were gorgeous, puffed pastry a winner as well. We had many positive comments from our guests, some asked for caterer contact. I would definitely select Free Range Kitchen for our next event, with total confidence! Sincerely appreciated their professionalism and friendly spirit. Thank You Free Range Kitchen! Chris & Diane Ingalls

Eric was very professional and punctual. We only had 6 people in our party so he and his wife were able to serve our group. The food was fresh and spectacular in flavor as well as presentation! We would definitely hire them again!

Eric was great to work with - he made things super easy for my family and I, which was particularly great as we were coming from out of town and didn't know the area super well. He traveled quite a ways to us, set everything up, and made truly delicious food - would definitely hire him again!
