Mycorrhizal Private Catering

Simple Food • Honest Ingredients • Gatherings Around the Table

With over 20 years in professional kitchens — from line cook to head chef — I offer small private catering for intimate gatherings where food is meant to be shared and enjoyed.

My approach focuses on simple, well-prepared meals using quality ingredients, served in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.

Kitchen Requirements

Because I do not currently operate a commercial kitchen facility, events must take place in a location with an appropriate kitchen space such as:

  • Private homes
  • Community halls
  • Churches or event venues with licensed kitchens

This allows food to be prepared safely and properly while keeping the gathering personal and relaxed.

Booking Inquiries

If you’re planning a gathering and would like help preparing the meal, feel free to reach out.

Please include:

  • Event date(minimum four weeks advanced notice for adequate planning)
  • Location
  • Estimated number of guests
  • Kitchen facilities available

From there we can discuss menus and logistics.

Good food gathers people.
It would be a privilege to cook for your table.
