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 was beyond amazing! Not only was the food amazing but the entire experience from the initial conversation on the event (my wife’s birthday) to the final dessert was well beyond expectations. Lindsey was responsive, friendly, wonderfully open to questions on her food art and fun to just talk to. I would 1,000% do this again soon.

Lindsey was awesome. She worked with me to put together a special menu, and on the day of the event she came over and really impressed us with her skill and presentation. The food was excellent. I highly recommend her services!

We had an EXCELLENT experience with Gold Dust Provisions. The food was absolutely delicious. My family is still talking about our mean and how happy we were with it. The team was also very kind and patient with a couple of toddlers running around which was much appreciated. Finally, they cleaned the kitchen to a state debatably better than what they entered. I would highly recommend Gold Dust Provisions to anyone!

I have to say I couldn't believe that I found this incredible chef on Thumbtack! I was worried because I had some high end clients on my first boat charter and she well exceeded my expectations. The guests were raving about the three course luncheon, and I was just thrilled that she offered me a taste of the delicious handmade pasta. Sincerely as good, if not better, than the pasta I have had in my many trips to Italy. I can't wait to work with Lindsey again! I'd give her a million stars if I could!

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.
