FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Private dinners and events start at a $1,000 minimum. Within that, every event is quoted individually: the menu, the number of guests and the ingredients all change the cost, so I'd rather give you a real number than a range. Send me the date, the guest count and what you have in mind, and I'll come back with a quote.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
You tell me the date, the guest count and what you have in mind, plus any allergies or dietary needs. I build a menu around your guests and send it over for you to adjust. On the day, I shop, cook in your kitchen and serve.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Le Cordon Bleu-trained, with fifteen years in private estate kitchens in Los Angeles. I'm also a licensed strength coach and personal trainer, an internationally licensed massage therapist, and I've done extensive coursework in nutrition. I've written three books, including The EASY Way to Organic Cooking (240 recipes).
