We had Amy come over to our home and cater a family gathering. She came prepared and on time and was so easy to work with, she had figured out our kitchen in no time! Everyone was raving about the family style plates she served us, and when we had a last minute change in the guest list she was able to accommodate us without any hassle. We will definitely be having Amy over to cook for us again!

Amy was wonderful to work with! She caters to your taste preferences and any food allergies. She's punctual, polite, knows all the best spots to find fresh ingredients, and is extremely talented. I would recommend her for dinner parties, weekly meal planning and more!

My husband and I have had the pleasure of experiencing first hand the talented Culinary mind and skills of Chef Amy Pelkey for 10 years. I bare witness to the many events at our home that she has turned into a bountiful feast whether it be a sit down dinner of 8 or a party of 40 for a Thanksgiving buffet, Chef Amy approaches each event prepared, punctual as full of energy. Her weekly meal prep for clients with busy work weeks who are on the go is catered to their specific dietary selections. I highly recommend Chef Amy for any Culinary experience you are looking for in your home. Wholeheartedly, William Mateo

Chef Amy is the best! I struggled to find a meal prep service that could accommodate all of my allergy and dietary restrictions until I found Chef Amy. She can accommodate any needs or preferences. I have her come once a week and she fills my fridge with delicious, healthy meals. I never have to worry about what I am eating now. Highly recommend her!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Each job is different. Whether it is weekly meal prep, a dinner party or a cooking lesson, the price will depend on headcount, cuisine, serving style, outside help etc. Ingredients are always separately from my cost. Cleanup is a separate fee as well.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
After an initial email or text I usually do a phone call to see if it is a fit for both of us. Then an in person meeting to work out the details. From there it would simply to a few emails before the event or first day of work.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
