Sample Menus

These are sample menus from past events. They were custom designed in coordination with the hosts’ tastes and preferences. I have thousands of recipes at my disposal and would be happy to work with you to create a memorable menu for your event.

Pricing varies greatly depending on the menu, number of guests, and type of service: sit-down or buffet, make-ahead or table service. I will work with you to create a menu that works within your budget.  Prices for make-ahead meals include the cost of groceries, food preparation and kitchen clean-up. Prices for table service include the cost of groceries; preparation and service of each course and some kitchen clean up.
