Wedding and Event Catering
Chef Tamara created an outstanding menu of savory dishes, and provided me with incredible ideas for fruit infused sangria for my sons short notice graduation party. She had an outstanding assistant who worked beautifully with my bartender, and waiter, and he also waited on my guests. She made the experience relaxing and very enjoyable. I can't wait to have her back again very soon!

Chef Tamara was a pleasure to work with. The variety was plentiful; we were able to put together a spread that met all our guests needs. The food was DELICIOUS! She arrived on time was professional, friendly and courtesy. We will most definitely use Chef Tamara again.

Chef Tamara did our entire Thanksgiving dinner. We hosted 20 people and she did all of the preparation, presentation, and clean up of the meal. She exceeded all expectations! Thanksgiving is all about the food and her work did not disappoint. All of our guests enjoyed the dinner. I highly recommend her and would definitely hire her again.

Chef Tamara had the best intentions in catering our event but unfortunately her presentation, food quality, communication, punctuality and professionalism were not part of our experience. We read many good reviews so we believe that she has probably done a nice job for others. But for us, it was a major disappointment on all levels. We have nothing against her and hope others have a better experience.

FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?My goal is to find a budget that works with my clientele to make them happy. My prices differ based on family style, buffet and plated. That being said I will work with any budget to ensure the happiness of my clientele. Thank you.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?Speaking one on one with the client to find out their wants and goals. Developing menus based on cuisines my clients are interested in learning more about. Every menu is custom made for each client, based on their goals, budgets and nutritional goals. My number one priority is customer satisfaction. I pride myself on serving the best cuisine possible and making my clientele relaxed and taking over all responsibilities for them so they can enjoy their event.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?I was nominated chef of the year through the American Culinary Federation. Won Iron Chef Three years running. Trained under many French, Italian, Mediterranean Chef's who were my mentors. Went to OCC for Culinary and OU for Business. I have taught many demos and cooking classes, specialize in wine dinners, and large parties.
