Introduction
I have been a Culinary School trained Chef for 27 years. I have been the head Chef for a number of venues including restaurants, large catered events, residential events, drop off gourmet meal service and cooking instruction. I typically charge an on-site Chefs Fee for cooking private dinner parties or luncheons, plus a reasonable per person charge depending on the menu they choose, however, each client is different and pricing varies depending on my clients needs. If extra staff is needed, a staff charge is included in the free quote. I mostly enjoy doing events in clients homes or Airb&b’s for gatherings or private dinner parties or drop off service for both, however, I am up for most any situation. We also do small weddings, or other catered affairs. Serving Syracuse, NY also

Chef Shelly went above and beyond! We hired Chive to cook a private 6-person dinner for a surprise for my mom's birthday. The entire event exceeded our expectations! The food was absolutely delicious. The rack of lamb was the best I have ever had. Everyone (including my 7-year-old nephew) thought the lamb was tender and very tasty. The burrata appetizer was both beautiful and delicious! The truffle macaroni and cheese and roasted brussels sprouts were fantastic sides to compliment the lamb. And the creme brulee was the perfect ending to our amazing meal. Shelly and her staff were kind, friendly, professional and prompt. They also cleaned up beautifully. Everything was great! I truly cannot recommend Chive and Chef Shelly enough!!!
