Kara has been super easy to work with and very helpful in creating the experience our family is looking for to celebrate our Mom's 80th bday. We collaborated on a menu, desired experience and time for the event and it all seemed to go easily and effortlessly.

We had Kara cook in our home for a birthday celebration. She was friendly, professional and made the most delicious food. She catered to some picky eaters (kids), but was able to still rise to more sophisticated and adventurous palettes. It was a wonderful experience and something we will do with Kara again...better than a meal out, great value and nothing to clean up! Thank you, Kara.

Kara was very easy to communicate and she responded very timely on all of my questions and came up with menu choices for my birthday party. On the day, she came early to set up, she was very organized, kept the kitchen clean and very pleasant to talk to. Food was served on a timely fashion with decent presentation. She also did cleanup after all four courses were served, which i didn't know was included in the price. The ingredients of the food were all very fresh, the first two courses came up a bit too salty per most of my guests feedback plus my own tasting, but after I told her the main course came out perfectly. The dessert was super yummy as well. The only two suggestions I have for her for continuous improvement would be 1) The food portion could be a bit larger for the price package I chose 2) Make two price package options with including cleanup and not including cleanup. Overall, I would say it was an excellent experience working with Kara. You can definitely feel the love and passion she has for cuisine and her artistry when she prepares for food.

FAQs

• What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

  My pricing varies widely based on the number of guests and type of food I am serving. The best way to get an accurate quote is to get in touch with me so we can discuss your budget and what you are looking for. I use high quality, local ingredients, as well as prepare and delivery the food personally as close to the time of your event for optimal quality. All events will require a 50% non refundable deposit to secure your date and cover cost of food. The last 50% of your balance will be due 24 hours after service. Parties of 3 guests and under have a $450 minimum. Any alcohol is a separate cost that I do not up-charge for. I provide the receipt with final invoicing. The total cost of your catering will include food, delivery, any additional supplies, and labor. Please be aware that gratuity is not included, however greatly appreciated.

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

  We will have a discussion based on what type of event you are having, the number of guests you are serving, and any dietary restrictions or specific requests you may have. Based off the information you provide me with I will then create a custom menu which I will forward to you along with a sample invoice and we can make any changes from there.

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

  I have worked in various kitchens across the country from fine dining French restaurants to casual brew pubs. My background also includes event coordination and wedding design as well as meeting planning for tech start ups in San Francisco.
