FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My prices begin at $150/guest plus cost of food and tax for groups of 8 or fewer, $175/guest plus cost of food and tax for groups larger than 8. Gratuity is up to the clients' discretion.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I will usually conduct a consultation over email or phone to determine the layout and existing equipment of my clients' home kitchens. I will also find out any allergy/personal dietary needs of which I should be mindful during menu development. I will send drafts of the menu for clients' approval and collect the cost of food a week prior to the event and collect ingredients.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have completed my associates degree in Culinary Arts and received my Personal Chef certification from Secchia Institute of Culinary Education in Grand Rapids, MI. I made the President's List each semester and was able to participate in a 3-month culinary internship at Il Locale in Florence, Italy. I also have training and certifications as a Beverage Specialist, Hospitality Management, and I am Servsafe Manager and Alcohol certified.
