About
I started Thee Pampered Plate because I wanted to take the stress out of good food. I believe great meals don’t have to be complicated; they just need to be made with care. Whether I’m cooking for a family that wants weekly meals or setting up an intimate dinner for two, my goal is to make food that feels like home but tastes like fine dining. Every menu is customized, and I’m always willing to work within your budget to bring your vision to life.

Everything from top to bottom with Nikita was perfect. She came in, set everything up, she was super friendly, and she created an amazing environment, she was so warm and welcoming. The food was beyond what I expected. Every course was better than the last! She also did the cleanup. 10 out of 10, highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you need a private chef, book Nikita!

Chef B provided a perfect way for us to celebrate our thirty-fifth wedding anniversary. From her outgoing personality, sharing her cooking secrets with us and providing us with a world-class dinner, it could not have gone better. On top of that she decorated our tabletop with roses and candles to add that extra touch for our anniversary. Another unexpected touch was a personal menu for our evening meal. It was the perfect way to remember such a fabulous night. The four-course meal she prepared for us would be hard to be surpassed by a five-star restaurant. It was so relaxing to sit at the table and talk with Chef B and watch her unique cooking talents. If you are not able to tell from this review, we highly recommend Chef B for any of your special occasions.

Exceptional service all-around. Chef Nikita is truly an amazing chef. My first time using her services and she went above and beyond. The brunch preparation exceeded my friends and I expectations, and the various meals were delicious. Plus, she cleaned up after it all. I'll definitely use her services and recommend her as well.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Pricing depends on your menu, guest count, and level of service. A 30% deposit is required to confirm your booking, and the remaining balance is due 7 to 14 days before the event depending on size.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I start with a quick consultation to learn about your preferences and event details. After that, I provide a tailored menu and estimate. Once confirmed, I handle everything from grocery sourcing to cooking, plating, and cleanup so you can relax and enjoy.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I’m a ServSafe-certified chef and owner of Thee Pampered Plate LLC, established in 2017. I’ve gained hands-on experience through years of catering private dinners, corporate events, and weekly meal services. My focus is combining bold flavor with elegant presentation for every client.
