The details, if you have them yet

Skip anything you haven’t decided. I’ll ask when we talk.

How a dinner works

Three steps from thinking about it to sitting down.

Step 1

Tell me what you want

Fill out the form or give me a call. Tell me the date, how many people, and what kind of dinner you're imagining.

Step 2

I plan the menu

I'll build a menu around what you like and what's in season. We'll tweak it until it sounds perfect.

Step 3

I show up and cook

I bring everything (ingredients, pans, plating) and handle the whole evening. You just host. I clean up before I leave.
