Jourdan met us at our Airbnb and cooked for our bachelorette party. Jourdan was professional, friendly, and a great help! As we had never hired a personal chef before; she helped with the menu and even recommended wines to go with the food. Everything Jourdan made was delicious!!! She made the brides favorite and was extremely accommodating of some special diets/food restrictions so there was something (and then some!) for everyone in our group. We started with apps which were great to socialize over, then had a lovely family style dinner, and finished off with the best cream puffs we have ever had!

Details: Brunch / dinner party • 11 - 20 guests • Dinner • Standard (basic ingredients) • Dessert • American - casual • Italian • Asian • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

Jourdan did a phenomenal job cooking for our bachelorette party brunch. The food was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented! I loved how Jourdan catered to our needs and was flexible about finding menu options that fit our vision for the brunch and our budget. I also really appreciated that she packed everything to go so we could save the leftovers for later. Having her cook for our event made the weekend very special!

Details: Brunch / dinner party • 6 - 10 guests • Breakfast / brunch • Premium (high end ingredients) • Hot beverages (coffee, tea, etc.) • American - formal • Italian • American - casual • French • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

This food is simply the best. Rich, fresh, flavorful, and such a treat for the senses. Jourdan knows how to make delicious food from a wide variety of cultural cuisines! For our events she has made incredible dishes including Syrian fish, broiled lamb stew, spicy and savory meat samosas, Syrian rice, Mexican stuffed spaghetti squash, and a lovely fresh garden salad. We have ordered from her a couple times now and she is our new go-to for all catering needs!

Working with Jourdan was a wonderful process, she was quick to reply, patient, professional and served a quality product. She made, what had the potential to be stressful event, relaxing and enjoyable for me. Jourdan was understanding of my restricted budget and was able to make a delicious spread on limited dollars. Not only did the food taste amazing, all of my guests commented on the gorgeous display she had created. I would definitely hire Jourdan again and will continue to recommend her to friends and family.

FAQs

  • What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

    My pricing is flexible and I'm able to work with the client on creating an event that best suits their individual needs.

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    When working with new customers I prefer chatting and getting a feel of the event. Based on our conversation we develop a menu together and/or I send menu options that harmonize with the occasion.
