CATERING SERVICES:

  • Certificate in Food Protection for the State of New York. Able to provide beer and wine permitting as well as general liability and liquor liability insurance.

  • 5-year OLCC alcohol service permit for the state of Oregon.

    My style of catering is collaborative, casual and fun. If you love food as much as I do, you can trust that I will find a way to make it happen. From weddings to office lunches, random sandwiches, and craft services, I can prep onsite or coordinate drop-off.

    One of my bucket list items is to be a summer camp cook, so if you’re hosting a retreat or outdoor event, I want to come! My fees include event insurance, beer and wine permitting, staffing, and transport.

OTHER SERVICES:

RECIPE TESTING AND DEVELOPMENT

Are you writing a book? I have a fully equipped kitchen to test your recipes. I’m open to any cuisine as long as it doesn’t have coconut (I’m allergic!). Email me about your book, rates, and testing deadlines.

ADJUDICATION

After competing in amateur cooking competitions for over 10 years, I've become a judge for The James Beard Awards, Cheesemonger’s Invitational, The Takedowns in chili, bacon, ice cream, breakfast, and meatball categories as well as the Sofi Awards (Specialty Food Association) in savory snacks, oils, marinades, bbq sauces, cookies, and salad dressings.

I'm able to follow tasting rubrics and deliberate fairly with a practiced palate. Get in touch if you need someone to help tabulate results and judge your competition.

POP-UPS

I’m in search of spaces around the world to host a variety of pop ups. I have my NYC food handler’s license and am happy to insure the event.

  • Outdoor cookout to promote my cookbook Showdown

  • Filipinx “TAPAS NIGHT” - 10-course dining experience

  • Random sandwiches

  • Hot dog bar

FOOD STYLING AND KITCHEN PREP

Need someone to make your food look pretty? I styled my own cookbook and my latest work is on my portfolio. Fees include sourcing, props, transport, and clean-up.

Do you need another set of hands to chop carrots? I have my own knife set, cutting boards, and aprons to jump right in. Send me your needs, budget, and timeline.

If you’re a photographer and would like to trade photos for meals, I’d love to collaborate to build both of our portfolios. 

CULINARY CONSULTING

  • Menu development, cookbook proposals, recipe proofreading, and cookbook manuscript review.

  • Hands-on film/tv training for actors and art departments.

  • I have a small inventory of prop items from glassware to plates, and serving ware available for a small fee.

  • I can help you build a list of action items, research, and potential food industry partnerships you can pursue.
