Carla is an outstanding chef. Organized, inventive, reliable, thrifty, sensible, professional, personable. Her food is delicious She was a delight to have in our family for about 2 years. A big stick of dynamite in a small package!! (she is petite, but that never slowed her down - I saw her pick up an entire BBQ unit and move it) Recommend Carla highly. She can cook with the best of them.

She has done it all for the Harris annual Partini for the last 6 years, Plus a couple of Mothers Days thrown in. From consulting with us on the menu, cooking, wait staff, set up and tear down, cleaning. She does it all.... Little hint, try the chicken lolipops (Sorry Carla). See you in November, Carla

Chef Carla has personally catered parties for me. She is articulate, innovative and thorough. I have also attended friends events where Chef has catered and, Naturally, experienced the same results. She is priced fairly, extremely dependable and always produces memorable fare. I will ALWAYS call upon her for my future catering needs. Furthermore, I would never hesitate to refer her services to others. Carla is much more than a Chef......she pulls it all together and delivers a successful experience.

Carla cooked for my family and we were thrilled with her expertise. Our favorite meal was her chicken enchiladas and I still have a craving for them six years later!! Carla is a generous, reliable, organized chef and she taught me so much about cooking!

FAQs

  • What types of customers have you worked with?

    Catering private parties, cooking for special events, stocking my client's refrigerator, prepping food that my clients can easily cook throughout the week, assisting clients with cooking when they want to do the cooking themselves, providing cooking classes for groups or individuals, planning menus, grocery shopping, teaching clients how to make the most of their food budget, setting up buffets, creating special dinner parties, cleaning the kitchen after each event, on call by phone or email to answer any cooking questions my clients may have.

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    Check references! Many people claim they can provide the services you need, but references are the key to finding out if the person is truly qualified to provide the services you require. Plan well in advance if possible, to be sure you can schedule a chef/caterer for your event. Have some idea of what type of food you would like your chef to prepare. A good chef can cook numerous dishes and many cuisines, so to ask for menu ideas, with no benchmark to start with, is asking your chef to provide an innumerable list of selections - many that may no appeal to you.
