We had an exceptional experience with Lindsay and her meal! We did a friends dinner with four adults and four children under age 5. She created a delicious menu and tweaked it with options to suit all of us. She was super responsive from our initial request all the way until she arrived. All of the ingredients were so fresh and it was so fun watching her cook the various dishes. She was friendly, professional, and most importantly of all was amazing amazing chef! We loved the flavors she created on all of her courses. We had a delicious poached shrimp pasta, a fresh and crispy arugula, snap peas salad, a crispy duck with parsnips and a individual banana cream cakes. Her actual menu is more decadent (I simplified it above). This was our first time having a personal chef and she made the experience so exceptionally wonderful. We will definitely consider having her cook for us again! You will be in for a treat if you have her. Thanks Lindsay for kicking off our New Year right!!!

What a joy it was to have Lindsey in charge of our Birthday dinner for 11 last night. Lindsey is a a calming force and a delight to have running the evening. She is punctual, professional, efficient, manages everything quietly in the background - and best of all, she is an exceptional chef who prepares exquisite meals that are both beautiful unbelievable delicious! The appetizers and dinner buffet were a delight just to look at - their beauty and interest was only outdone by their amazing flavors and tastes. I think every dish and sauce received a special rave from one more guests. And in the thank you's we have received today, the cauliflower dish was still being praised! Lindsey graciously accommodated our guests who had dietary limitations, subtly labeling the dishes to guide selection. Everyone had marvelous choices and nothing felt limited. Lindsey's sense of timing is excellent, the flow from appetizers - to dinner - to dessert was perfect. (I was having such a good time enjoying the party that I was doing next to nothing to orchestrate the flow.) And, our kitchen was spotless at the end of the evening - everything was cleaned and in place with any leftovers carefully stored in the refrigerator. I would trust Lindsey to successfully orchestrate any future catering need. She is a thoughtful and creative menu planner - she has excellent ideas and provides wonderful choices and options. And, again, and best of all, she is an exceptional, creative chef!

Lindsey worked collaboratively with us to create a creative menu plan for a special celebratory group dinner. The planning process was excellent. When COVID ruined the plans in the 11th hour--she quickly worked with me on a fair and reasonable Plan B....which allowed us to enjoy some of her amazing creations in a different manner. Bottom line....I will most definitely work with Lindsey again in the future--and can't wait for the opportunity to do so!

FAQs

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

  Pricing is determined by the complexity of the menu and number of guests. Typically, the price per guest goes down when the guest count goes up because it's not that much more work to cook for 20 than 5.

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

  We begin by collaborating on a menu. I will create a custom menu for the client based on their vision for the event and submit it for their feedback. We will make any changes and set the menu. Next I will send an agreement for the client to fill out and an invoice for the deposit (50% of the food estimate). We will be in contact leading up to the date of the event covering any questions that may come up.

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

  Associate of Applied Science in Culinary Arts and Hospitality Management. 9 years experience cooking in fine dining restaurants around Seattle. Most recently I worked as the Event Chef for Bastille Cafe & Bar cooking for on-site events from 25-150 people.
