Service Area
Where I cook
I travel to homes and event spaces across South Florida's Gulf Coast. Send the event city or ZIP with your inquiry so I can confirm travel and availability; longer trips are often workable for full-day events.
Dietary needs are planned in, not worked around
Gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan, dairy-free, nut-allergy, low-sodium, and diabetic-friendly menus are routine work rather than special requests. Tell me the constraint when you inquire and the menu gets built around it from the start — not adapted at the last minute.
How do I check if you can cook at my location?
Share the event city or ZIP and date in your inquiry. I will confirm whether travel and availability work for your home or event space.
Can you adapt a private dinner menu for different guests?
Yes. Start with any of the seven sample menus, then tell me your guest count and dietary needs so we can shape courses and service around your group.
