Chef Freda is awesome. This was the second time I’ve hired her for a private event. She continued to impress! She is very responsive, on time, and professional. The menu she developed with me was excellent, and the food she prepared was totally outstanding. Chef Freda’s table settings were great. After the meal she cleaned up every in the kitchen spotlessly. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking to hold a private in-home event.

Freda was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond. She made our Mother’s Day dinner celebration so special. She was so thoughtful, kind, professional, punctual, and cooked us the most delicious fresh, tasty meal. We definitely plan to book her again in the future and highly recommend you do the same. You will not regret it!!!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
We offer reasonable rates and do our best to work with must budgets,
We normally ask for 50 % down when the booking is made or 30 days before the event
Final payment is expected on the day of the event.
We have no hidden fees and offer a discount for 100 guest or more
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
When I receive a request from a new customer, I will reply after carefully reading their request profile.
I then send them a few sample menu ideas featuring the types of cuisine they are looking to see at their even. With the hope that this will get their minds flowing with some ideas of what dishes will work best for their event. These menu ideas are just samples the customer gets the opportunity to use them if they want or come up with their own menu ideas.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I started in the culinary field as a student at the Hospitality Management Training Institute on the island of Antigua. Followed by Two years of Professional Cooking At the Cornell University Ithaca NY
Along with numerous Cooking, Event and Hospitality Management Training Courses
