About
I'd like to make clear that I have a minimum charge of $1,000 for my events, which encompass four full days of work, even for two people.
Bring my 25 years of experience in fine dining and James Beard award winning restaurants into your home. Experience customized, multi-course menus that will delight and impress your guests. My focus is on sourcing the best ingredients from Vermont farms, foragers, and artisan cheese makers. My specialty is fresh pasta, with over two hundred traditional shapes in my repertoire. Allow me to turn your next event into an unforgettable moment.
Please note that my events require a minimum of a week of advance notice so that I can do a thoughtful one-on-one consultation and menu planning, coordinate with farms, purchase ingredients at those farms, and then begin preparing food two days in advance of your event. I'm afraid that I cannot do last minute bookings, and provide the level of experience you deserve.

Erin was absolutely incredible! From the very beginning, planning our menu for our intimate high school reunion of eight friends was easy, organized, and professional. She created a beautiful meal using fresh, locally sourced ingredients from nearby farms, and every dish was absolutely delicious.
She made the evening feel so special and allowed us to simply relax, reminisce, and enjoy each other's company. The food was outstanding, and everything was prepared and presented with so much care. Beyond being an amazing chef, Erin was an absolute pleasure to work with—warm, professional, and attentive throughout the entire experience.
I would 100% hire Erin again for future events and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an unforgettable dining experience!

Chef Erin came to prepare a birthday dinner for my family of 15. Her food looked and tasted amazing - one special touch was that Erin came out during each course to present the dish but also share a bit about the local producers where she sourced the ingredients. Her knowledge of local Vermont producers was amazing and really set her food apart! I also want to call out how accommodating Erin was. We had a last minute guest added to our event. We notified Erin of the change on the 4th of July which was the day before our event. Despite many stores being closed for the holiday, Erin was about to accommodate our very last minute guest! Cannot recommend her enough!

Chef Erin is incredible; there is no better way to describe her. Throughout the entire planning process she was timely, accommodating and a true professional in every way. Her culinary creations are nothing short of extraordinary. From the impeccable sourcing of her ingredients to the exquisite presentation and, most importantly, the incredible taste, Chef Erin’s dedication to her craft is unparalleled. We were particularly impressed by her commitment to supporting local farmers, ensuring that every dish not only boasted the freshest, highest-quality ingredients but also contributed to her community—a touch that we truly admired.
It was amazing to have a five star dining experience in the comforts of our own home. She created a night that my family will never forget. Our guests continued to rave about Chef Erin, her team and food days after the event. Chef Erin, thank you for leaving our family with lasting memories from a truly extraordinary evening. Already looking forward to future events where we could have the pleasure of working with Chef Erin again.

I hired Chef Erin for my brother’s bachelor party in September 2023 to serve 21 guests. Every aspect of the meal was incredible.
Everything was made from scratch and sourced locally in Vermont. We were served 3 courses: salad with a homemade buttermilk ranch style dressing, a pasta dish, and NY strip steaks with potatoes. Very little was left over.
Erin was very professional and punctual. She prepared, cooked, and cleaned the kitchen to a better state than the way she found it. If I could hire Erin for all of my special occasions, I absolutely would.
Thank you again, Erin!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My events involve a full day of shopping at local farms, two days of advance prep, and an average 12 hours of travel, execution, and clean up time on the day of your event. Therefore, I have a minimum charge of $800 for my events.
