FAQs
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I began cooking as soon as I could hold a whisk. My father was the Master Chef in our home, but he traveled frequently for work, and since my mother was a very picky eater, I took it up on myself to make most of our family around age 10. I catered parties and did some 'ghost baking' for bake sales, cake walks, and pot luck dinners. I attended culinary school at Columbus State, and was the Pastry Chef at La Chatelaine on Lane Avenue for a while.
- What types of customers have you worked with?
Typically, I work with my clients to develop a menu, and on the day selected, I will shop for groceries, prep food, cook the agreed upon menu, package it up for storage, and clean up the work space (which can be your kitchen or my own). If you prefer me to use my own kitchen, I will deliver the finished product to you with instructions on re-heating, so you can have ready made custom meals pre-made for your convenience. I also frequently provide pre-prepped veggies and portioned snacks for those on diets, or customers with small children.
- Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?
Lase summer I had the opportunity to make my Grandmother's wedding cake :) It was a 3 tiered white-chocolate cake with raspberry filling and white-chocolate buttercream. We decorated it with fresh raspberries and english roses from her garden and it turned out beautifully. I am particularly proud of this job.
