Essential Chef Catering

The main focus of my business is allowing
you to do the things you want to do, while I
do the cooking. For people who hate to
cook or even just hate the planning, eating
out during the week may be fine. But when
you're inviting people over for a dinner
party on the weekends, having the food
prepared for you in your home gets you
great food and lots more time with your
guests. Instead of stirring the risotto, you
can be sipping a Cosmo (or 2) and kicking
back.
We can plan a menu that best suits the
theme of the party or particular food
tastes. I can cook ethnic cuisines such as
Italian, Spanish or Greek or keep it strictly
American comfort foods.
I also do small-scale catering for film
shoots, gallery openings and location
events. Please contact me for more
information. I can work within your budget.
