Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: As a private caterer and personal chef, I see my job as solving problems and making people happy. I provide weekly and bi-weekly meal delivery services as well as corporate and occasional catering. Hire me once, once in a while, or on a regular recurring basis. I've had many clients stay with me for 5 years or longer, and many more return for hassle-free catering services. I love to feed people and I'm easy to work with. Here's the basic process: PERSONAL CHEF SERVICES 1. We talk about your specific needs and what I can do to fulfill them. 2. You fill out my questionnaire with all your preferences. 3. I present an extensive menu tailored to your tastes. As we continue to work together, the menu changes to reflect your preferences and the seasons. 4. You choose a service plan, including number of meals desired and delivery frequency. 5. I cook, package, and deliver to you delicious meals that are a snap to reheat and eat. For Catering Services, I offer seasonal menus ranging from cocktail party small bites to multi-course dining experiences. I have a wide palate and experience with many ingredients and culinary styles. I have been hired to help people with weight loss, weight gain, body building, athletic goals, illness recovery, palliative care, and all manner of dietary restrictions (paleo, keto, low sodium, high protein, anti-inflammatory, celiac, vegan, to name a few). I love being able to provide delicious solutions for people with dietary challenges.

James was great to work with, very responsive and flexible. While I wasn't able to attend the event and taste his food, our team said that everything tasted great! I look forward to trying his gluten-free fried chicken in the future!

We had a wonderful evening! James was great. He arrived on time and immediately started working in our kitchen. He was friendly, respectful, and professional. The food was excellent and all of our guests ate every bite of it. The feedback from friends was all positive. I have a feeling James will hear from a few of our friends for future events and we will definitely work with him again! Thank You James!

James and his team catered an event I hosted for about 70 people and got rave reviews both for the food and the quality of the service. I also very much appreciated the time and attention James put into coming up with delicious menu options that worked for the specific budget we had. I'd definitely hire James and his crew again!
