Introduction

I am the versatile cooking mama specializing in Southern cuisine. Our food is a taste of down South without all the traditional pork and fat associated with Southern cooking. The versatility comes with my ability to offer a variety of traditional southern food with a twist from vegan to meat lovers!!ss

Weddings are stressful enough so having the Cooking Mana show up and put out a spectacular arrangement of food was above and beyond. I never realized what picky eaters were in the wedding party and The Cooking Mama impressed them all. The selection and quality surpassed our expectations. The newly wedded couple cannot praise the service enough. Thank you for filling our belly’s and starting our new life together.

The Cooking Mama catered my son's graduation party (approx 75 people, including lots of hungry teenagers). She was extremely knowledgeable and professional in helping me with the menu selection and food presentation. She was on time to set up for the party. Her food displays were beautiful and smart (ie. making use of some smaller counter spaces with single-serve desserts on tiered trays). Best of all, her food was delicious! We served an amazing Southern fare of delicious pulled chicken sliders, mac & cheese, collards, slaw along with several appetizers and trays of adorable individual banana puddings. Days later, neighbors are still raving about the food. I only wish we'd had more leftover! So thankful I chose The Cooking Mama. We will definitely reach out to her for our next catered event.

Details: Graduation party • Dinner • Dessert • Non-alcoholic drinks • American - Southern • Food stations • Yes, full service • Home • Yes, full kitchen • 50 - 59 guests • Serving and warming equipment • Premium (high end ingredients)

The Cooking Mama is absolutely PHENOMENAL! I was impressed from our initial conversation, to the day of the event. She is very professional, punctual, accommodating, and the dinner was marvelous! My folks are still talking about the food and the presentation of the dinner! I will definitely be using her services again!
