Oh my goodness, Deirdre was incredible!!!! I hired Slavin in the Kitchen for my sister's 50th birthday party. After interviewing a few caterers I knew Deirdre Slavin was the caterer for us. She was professional and explained everything up front, so there were absolutely no surprises. Now onto the food! Since we just did hors d'oeuvres she served an array of dishes. From the duck confit tarts to the Spanish meatballs, mini crabcakes with lemon aoili, we were thrilled. I could go on and on, the food was that good, it was truly amazing!!! My family considers themselves to be serious "foodies" and man did she deliver. She runs an extremely tight ship and right to the last minute Deirdre and her staff were efficient and extremely pleasant to work with. I highly recommend her for your next big event!!!

We have used Slavin in the Kitchen many times and it is always a pleasure to work with Deirdre and her team. Deirdre has helped us plan great menus and managed many aspects of our events. The food quality and selection is outstanding. Every time that we have worked with Deirdre our events are that much more special because of the time and attention she puts into every detail.

We have been huge fans of Deirdre's cooking, having been fortunate enough to be invited to several events she has catered. We also had her cater a large graduation party and it was awesome. Not your standard fare (taco bar, yum!) and very reasonable, all with a huge family style smile!!!! We have plans to use Deirdre for our next graduation event and am hoping to be invited to other events she happens to be catering. Jim and Tiffany Antonellis

Extremely Competent and Talented - Delicious food - Impeccable professionalism - Very Reasonable Pricing Expertise in the field is immediately evident. Upon our first call, I knew Deirdre was highly capable of handling our event. Her years of experience have made her confident in her execution - which made me as a client secure and calm that Slavin in the Kitchen would handle our event as anticipated and without incident. This particular event that we hired Deirdre for was a very personal one - a Celebration of Life gathering at our home after my Mother-in-laws passing. I desired a very specific passed hors doeuvres menu to honor my Mother-in-law to include her favorite foods. Deirdre didnt blink. She was completely amicable with creating offerings that are not typically on her appetizer menu. She made excellent suggestions and designed special hors doeuvres just for our memorial. We certainly didnt provide her with the best working conditions - and she didnt even shrug! I requested that she work out of our garage so that guests could have full use of our kitchen. She did so flawlessly and to boot - when she left, you would have never even known she was there! I would have been happy to rent cooking equipment for her to use, but as an added bonus - she had it all in her inventory and brought it with her. Our guests were swooning over her cuisine! I received MANY compliments on how delicious folks found her cooking to be. Guests even took her name and number so that they may hire Slavin in the Kitchen for future events. I am still dreaming about the Curried Chicken Tartlets and the Masala Chai!! SO TASTY!! I need to note how lovely and professional her Serving staff were as well! As an Event Planner, Ive experienced that even if the Chef is professional and capable - the crew they bring to serve isnt always as fabulous. That was certainly not true of Slavin in the Kitchens Servers. The two ladies were courteous, crisp, polite and gracious. They knew the tone of the event and were overwhelmingly sensitive to our family and guests. I was delighted with how our event was handled by Slavin in the Kitchen. I will hire Deirdre again and I implore you to too! Taylor Singh Owner, Avasara Events
