We loved designing this custom grazing table for our client’s husband’s 40th birthday bash! 🍾🪩

We put together all of his favorite things (spinach artichoke dip, pimento cheese, chocolate macadamia cookies, sea salt caramels, peanut butter bites, fresh baguette & more!) to make it extra special (and delicious). Plus premium organic edible flowers are included, as always.

Nothing we love more than cooking for the girls — especially with a killer theme like “Southern Charm” 💅🥩✨

We pulled out all the stops for this crew — steaks with maple boubon compound butter, mashed chive potatoes, deviled eggs with bacon jam, arugula salad with candied pralines, pickled onions & cornbread croutons, plus a homestyle peach cobbler for dessert.

We’re girls’ girls through and through, and hosting nights like this reminds us why we love what we do. Good food, chill vibes, great company = our kind of party. 🥂

As a female-founded & operated private chef business, it’s particularly important that we support women in our communities. 🌸

We loved creating this seasonal, feminine grazing table spread for “The Confidence Experience” retreat. An evening filled with love, laughter and light. ⚡️

Big thank you to Tanisha for having us 🫶

For this 50th birthday celebration, we created a bespoke grazing table filled with everything you’d want to wake up to — flaky butter croissants, delicate pastries, fresh fruit, artisan cheeses, assorted bagels, and just the right touch of indulgence.

We were honored to bring this brunch vision to life as part of such a special day. Here’s to 50 years of beauty, friendship, and family. 🍓🧀🥂

Yesterday, we had the privilege of cooking for a 40th birthday celebration that was about so much more than just turning another year older.

This beautiful family is walking through a tough season, and being invited into their home to create a moment of joy, comfort, and togetherness — through food — was an honor we won’t forget.

We went with traditional Italian — warm, familiar, and full of love. As a private chef, it’s never just about the meal. It’s about being present. It’s about care. It’s about creating something that nourishes more than just the body.

So grateful for the trust, the connection, and the reminder of why we do what we do. 🌼

Last night’s dinner was all about connection, comfort, and classic Tuscan flavors 🌿✨

Three couples reunited for the holiday weekend — no babysitters, no reservations, just a beautiful night in. We created a custom Italian menu inspired by seasonal ingredients, complete with a rustic charcuterie board and fresh bread service to kick things off.

The kind of evening that reminds you food isn’t just a meal — it’s a moment. 🇮🇹🍷
