Introduction: I use the freshest ingredients available, including organic ingredients. All of my food is safely prepared by me, all of the food is prepared from scratch, and I put a lot of love into my cooking. Everyday is different, every menu is unique. I like shopping for my ingredients at my favorite stores, butchers, and local farmers markets. I love getting to know my clients likes and dislikes and then creating a wonderful meal for them.

Tammy was great to work with. She's kind, professional and her menu options are delicious. I was apprehensive about how everything would go because we were hosting 22 women for a bridal shower in a home that had a small kitchen area. Somehow, as she said she would, she made it work and seem effortless. Everyone complimented the food and asked "how did you find her?!". :) But, aside from the food, the most important thing to me is personality and how you make people feel. Tammy is warm and incredibly kind & patient. We had the event (Bridal Brunch) in Jacksonville and though it was a bit of a drive for her from Gainesville, she arrived on time, well prepared and in a great mood. She's great and I'd definitely recommend her for your future gatherings. Of note, she also cleaned up afterwards and once she left, you'd never know that she'd just prepared for for 22 people in the space! Such a huge help for the host! Worth it's weight on gold to not have to worry about food and cleaning up the food when you're also busy hosting. You'll be grateful you have her! Thanks, Tammy!

Details: Shower (baby, bridal, etc.) • 21 - 35 guests • Breakfast / brunch • Standard (basic ingredients) • American - casual • American - formal • Vegetarian or vegan • Gluten free or celiac • Meal delivered • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

The service was a 20 on a scale of 1-10! And the food gets the same ratting! We could not be happier everyone loved her and her cooking! We had approximately 30 adults and 6 children several of our guests asked her for a business card . Her homemade onion dip and freshly baked bread yummm! .she grilled the chicken at our home so it was fresh and wonderful also her fresh fruit display and dip were a hit her homemade potato salad much better then store bought and she filled as bowls emptied cleared and without a worry in the world we were able to tend to our guests! We will use Tammy for all our large events from now on! Tammy is friendly and calm just wh!at you want in a professional chef besides being an excellent chef!

Tamara Womack was the best choose for my event (babyshower). She was in constant communication with me, always answered her emails in a quick period of time. The day of the event she was on time and the food was fresh and delicious, all my guest loved their food. I can wait to work with her again.

FAQs

  • How did you get started doing this type of work?

    I have always loved to cook and honed my cooking skills and techniques by practicing and trying new ingredients and recipes. I was a co-owner of a pizzeria in Texas but my passion was teaching my employees cooking skills and recipes, along with catering. My passion continued to grow and I enrolled in the United Stated Personal Chef Association program and successfully graduated in 2006. I have been teaching cooking classes since 2007 to children, teens, and adults and continuing with my daily personal chef and in-home catering.

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

    Please, share what your budget is and be honest about it. I want to be able to provide the best quality of food and service to my clients.

  • What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

    My number one important concerns is food sanitation and safety. I always clean the kitchen I am working in before I start cooking. My kitchen at home is spotless.
