Had Little Gem make tacos for my bachelorette party of 20 people. They were very easy to work with and catered the menu to have vegetarian and gluten-free options included. The food was delicious, and my friends were all very impressed with the quality and variety. Would definitely recommend!

My girlfriend and I recently celebrated 2 years together. I booked Jessica to prepare a meal to commemorate this special occasion. Not only was she professional, but she was very receptive to what I envisioned for the night. The meal was a surprise for my girlfriend and Jessica helped make this possible. The food was excellent and I was very pleased that Jessica was willing to incorporate some of our favorites into the menu. She prepared a menu that showcased her versatility as a chef and I would gladly book her again.

FAQs

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

    Let’s have a conversation and a phone call to discuss your event and see what we can do together!

  • What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

    I attended the Art Institute culinary school in North Hollywood, California. My favorite training was working in Florence, Italy under a few talented local chefs.. that really shaped my culinary style and further grew my love of food and service.
