Home Cooking by Elizabeth

Home Cooking by Elizabeth For 35 years, Personalising every Event & Cooking Classic Home Cooked Food to a 5 Star Standard. En Something I did a few years ago.

I am now celebrating 35 years as a Caterer, this has been very rewarding period of my life, giving me great satisfaction knowing every event is special. I generally bespoke every menu and, often producing recipes personally for my clients. I am the main influence of all my catering events and will be seen back of house in my apron! I am supported by my husband Jon and daughters, Stefanie, Lucinda

and Olivia who all have their own roles within the business. Lucinda works closely with me and has become a very important part of the business taking the next generation to a different level. She is an excellent cook, with a total natural ability giving great culinary artist flair. It seems a long time ago, starting just in my kitchen at home with my three small children, producing and selling my products at local indoor craft markets, it was during that time in my life I actually created my signature dishes, which I am still producing today, Homemade Pies, Quiches, various types of cakes. Over the past years I have always kept food ideas and styles up to date, my basic technique of home style cooking or as a great friend of mine always says “cooking from the heart” and using the best possible ingredients has always been the key to our success. I am also mindful using and supporting local produce and businesses. I am very fortunate to live in Great Bookham in Surrey and there is a wealth of great suppliers, with excellent butchers, a fish monger, a bakery and a greengrocer all of which are family businesses who care. I am now proud to present our Show Room, which is in Great Bookham, where potential clients can visit us, see our portfolio and more importantly plan part or all of their special catering event, however big or small, everyone is individual and special to us. The menus are only an idea to give a price structure, when you are browsing through them and everyone can be adapted. I eagerly write my own recipes and you will find many of my recipes on the website, I have also written for local magazines, occasionally broadcast on local radio and apparently pop up on cbeebies a children’s programme, as puzzled cook producing bizarre things from the kitchen! At the moment I am at the finishing stages of writing my cookery biography, which spans the last 30 years. I look forward to meeting you. Elizabeth Treliving

Dear Elizabeth,

We had a very good afternoon on Saturday thanks to the lovely tea which you provided. The sandwiches, savouries, scones and cakes were all delicious and beautifully presented and everyone said how lovely it was. Many thanks indeed to you and your team.

Dear Elizabeth,
I would just like to thank you so much for all your hard work on Friday for my Mother’s Celebration of Life.
It all went very well, everyone seemed to have plenty to eat, and lots of tea. The food was delicious; I forgot to eat anything until nearer the end but managed some delicious Brie & grape sandwiches and we took some items home.

All our guests seemed very happy and your staff were extremely helpful & kind.
Best wishes

Hi Elizabeth,



Everything went very smoothly last Sunday with special thanks to Jill & Julie. They were enormously helpful serving and clearing away and it was very reassuring to have them in charge of the food. It'll be no surprise the puddings almost all but disappeared in an instance. The weather was perfect and everyone had a wonderful time.



Thank you and kind regards,

Mandy

Good afternoon Elizabeth,
I just wanted to thank you so much for organising the catering last Saturday. The food was amazing, and everyone enjoyed two or three dishes…each! The three ladies on duty were all excellent…they made the evening run so smoothly and I couldn’t be happier with the service provided. Thanks also for recommending Natasha Allwood. She made a fantastic cake for Stan’s 80th. Honestly, I was blown away with how well it went.
All the best.
Laura & Stan.

Hi Elizabeth

Just a few lines to thank you & your wonderful team for your efforts on my ‘big’ birthday.

It was so nice after all these years of hosting large family functions to have your staff busily keeping things organised in the background! Wow, and no clearing up the next day.

Chris & I have had 2 beautiful meals since, using up the leftovers.

The Porchetta was a firm favourite - absolutely delicious!

Best regards and hope you had an enjoyable Easter with the family.

Dear Elizabeth,

We just wanted to thank you for Saturday. The food was great and exactly as we hoped.

Your 2 girls were lovely, very willing, helpful, and easy to connect with. They made Pimms, served our cake and prosecco and cleared up all that they could.

The quiz ran from before 9 PM until midnight! We finished after 3.30 AM and everyone was delighted with everything! Neil had the best time and was dancing ‘til the end.

I couldn’t be happier and it encourages me to do it again!
Thanks again,
Christine

Hi Elizabeth,

A thank you from all of us for giving us some very tasty food on Friday!

It went down very well and as a result we have had a request on how the minted cucumber sandwiches were made? Judith’s daughter (who NEVER eats sandwiches) absolutely loved them.

Best wishes,
Tara
