Introduction

I'm a professional chef who has been in business for over 13 years. I cater all kinds of events, such as weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, corporate events, and more. I take pride in providing the best service and the best food. I source high-quality, fresh ingredients and use my own recipes for my seasonings to ensure an amazing culinary experience. I've worked as a celebrity chef, and also have my own cooking show, "Cooking with a Star." Past corporate clients include Amazon, Green Sky, and Merchante Solutions. I've done events all over the country and the world, such as the Bahamas, the Carribean, and London, England. No matter my client, I provide the same level of top service and quality at reasonable prices. My specialty is cultural dishes -- Cuban, Carribean, Ethiopian, and Portugese. But whatever your tastes, I'll craft the perfect menu with the best dishes for you. Just let me know what you need. I love cooking and I love making people happy! Meals are a social activity. Some people's fondest memories revolve around food. Everyone remembers the meals at events. I strive to make those memories wonderful for everyone who tastes my dishes.

Cooking With the Stars treated me as if I was a star. She catered my wedding which style Grace and professionalism. She went above and Beyond. She also did things that was not in our contract that I asked her to do at the very last moment . She made me very happy and she did it with a smile. I suggest if you looking for someone to cater any type of event with wonderful food great service and love in their heart Ms. Kendra is the one.

Kendra and her team were amazing and absolutely exceeded expectations! Kendra and her team were very professional, welcoming and all around just the BEST. Kendra even came into my bridal suite and helped one of my bridesmaids with her dress! My point is you can tell she is a very genuine person and wants to make your event very special. I would hire her and her team ANYTIME.

Kendra catered my promotion and from the very beginning she was superb in every way. She listened to my requests, offered suggestions and took care of everything. The food, service and responsiveness that Kendra provided were top notch and really made the event first class and one to remember. All of the guests loved the food.. The favorite by far were the meatballs but the chicken, macaroni and cheese and green beans were a hit as well..I cannot give Kendra a stronger recommendation. She is phenomenal!

I am proud to provide high quality at reasonable prices. I want to create the best menu for your budget and I'm open to adjustments. Let's set up a call and we can discuss what you need.

What types of customers have you worked with?
I provide catering for events with 50 - 1500 guests. I have worked weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, corporate celebrations and more. Past clients include Amazon, Green Sky and Merchante Solutions. I have also worked as a celebrity chef.
