Private Chef
Cooking party classes are a great way to not only have a good time with friends, but also to learn something new about cooking. When you hire a Private Chef you get an interactive evening of cooking. Debrah will teach you how to demystify your favorite foods in the comfort and safety of your own kitchen. We first consult with the host and after hearing their expectations we can create a customized menu and lesson plan. You and your guests may choose to participate with the cooking or just observe while eating appetizer's and sipping spirits. Classes are approximately 2 1/2 to 3 hours. There is a 8 person minimum. The price is determined by the amount of courses and food cost.

Personal Chef
The personal chef is perfect for the person on the go. They provide meals for you to eat in the comfort of your own home. After a consultation, a menu will be created reflective of your personal needs. The marketing, food prepping and cooking are all done for you. We try to create menus and shop according to the season. Any dietary requests, i.e. vegan, organic, south beach etc. will be considered.

Catering Events
Let me help you plan your next Holiday party, wedding, birthday,graduation, etcetera. Whatever the function might be I can help you make your special event a huge success. A $50 non-refundable consultation fee is required; however, it will be applied to the total cost of the event. To insure quality service additional staff may be suggested for certain events.

I look forward to sharing my passion and knowledge of honest foods with you
