After a one on one consultation with the chef, your custom menu will be crafted and proposed with all necessary considerations and details in mind per client specifications. Base pricing starts at $25 per guest, $400 minimum. Inquire for more specific pricing details with your customized menu.

HOW TO PLAN AN EVENT WITH ME

Contact me to verify availability and to schedule a meeting. We begin with an initial conversation where we establish the basic requirements for the event, the venue, the theme and the flavor profile desired. At this time we discuss menu ideas fitting that theme. Once we have established these details, I'll come up with recipes and a menu proposal for final approval. I always take into consideration the target budget, if applicable. Once the menu is approved, payment can be made by credit card through our online bill pay system or by check.

Experience makes all the difference. Through travel and eating international cuisine around the world, it’s become clear that the good life, no matter where you are, is not only about sharing delicious food, but it is about the entire experience with people that makes a lasting impression.
The intimate gatherings over a nice meal, with great conversation and stories shared is a very special opportunity to learn and give back.
These moments are cherished by chef Jess, as she takes care to honor them by continuing to create these experiences for others through her cuisine.
Making your event not only delicious but meaningful and memorable is the goal.
With the experiences of flavor and stories from her most cherished meals, she crafts incredible menus to give you a service to always remember.
