Chef Kylene was great from the start to finish. Never meeting her or knowing anyone that knew her was a bit scary but she set me at ease and followed through with everything she promised. The food came cold with heat up instructions as requested. Very tasty and lots of raves from my guests. The whoopie pies were adorable with the pink filling for a baby shower but a little disappointing in taste ( not my grandmothers recipe!) The coconut chicken and dip was a big hit. Very reasonably priced. I would definitely use her again if the need arose.

I can't comment on the taste of the food YET, but so far I cannot proclaim loudly enough how wonderful Chef Kylene has been. She responded to my initial inquiry in less than 24 hours, and has maintained that (and better!) level of responsiveness every step of the way. My plan was to send a special edible surprise to a relative out-of-state, in CT. This required a good amount of flexibility on Kylene's part, since there were so many unknowns. She has been extremely accommodating with everything-- timing, menu selection, even pricing!! She delivers (herself!) within a wide radius. She even printed and delivered a card that I emailed her, with the meal. Once I hear how my family member liked the food, I'll post another review. I expect to hear how exceptional it is! Thanks, Kylene!

FAQs

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    First a ten minute consultation via phone, then I will design a menu for the event and forward it to be reviewed. In some cases I will tour the kitchen a head of time to have a concrete plan for the event day. Once the menu is approved I construct a contract for the client to review and sign. Then its off to the event!

  • What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

    I attended the Center for Culinary Arts. I am ServeSafe certified as well as MA Allergen Certified as well. I spent the last four years a a Head Chef overseeing the kitchen, supervising staff, menu creating and ordering. I maintained a 90% excellent rating on participant evaluations.

  • What types of customers have you worked with?

    I have worked with a vast variety of clients. I am able to accommodate any food allergies, dietary restrictions or dietary lifestyles.
