Catering&Sourcing

Catering is sure making a coming back – even stronger than ever!

Why?

Well, because folks are tired of being cooped up and denied celebrating lil weddings, birthdays, holidays and milestones due to fear of contagions & closures……

And . . .

Getting isolated again would stop the essential need people have to connect and relax with others.

After an initial year of lockdowns, quarantine and social distancing in 2020 . . . and now 5 years later another potential pandemic …..

Many of us seem to be craving community, good food and real live hugs.

And there’s NOTHING like having someone taking the stress out of sourcing & preparing the food & beverages that go with your next california casual gathering or event.

I am also happy to come to your house and help you set up your kitchen, fridge, counters and pantry cupboards so that they hold all the special nutrition plan ingredients you need to succeed.

Sharing my knowledge & experience of natural culinary products & spices is such a BELOVED passion of mine! If it is support you need with food prep . . . I can support your busy schedule with help when you need it.

I have also started doing selective specialty food sourcing for folks who don’t have time for the farmer’s market, local health food store, wellness dept and butcher.

Being catered nutrient dense food may help refresh and revive your lil get together or family home life as well as your perspective with all the changes the past years have brought.

I am creating truly out-of-the-box whimsical experiences that are ready to help people reinvent their times together.

Inside Scoop

I love bringing the California Superfood Chef & Catering experience to small scale (under 25 people per gathering) birthdays, weddings, festivals, retreats, health freedom gatherings and whimsical off and on-grid pop-ups. The nutrient dense and local food I prepare is very similar to the late and great health pioneer Weston A. Price’s traditional nutrition. I add an animal welfare focus, beyond organic sourcing, and vegan options. Ask me how I attempt to avoid contaminated soil & water areas post disaster or fire.

I (click About page) can either stay throughout the event to ensure safe food handling as well as proper temperature service and exceptional plating presentation or leave 1 hour prior with beautifully prepared food that you yourself can serve to your guests.

Depending on availability, I cater onsite within Santa Monica / Malibu / Topanga / Agoura Hills / Calabasas / Santa Barbara / Big Sur & the coastal region along the Santa Monica, Los Padres & Santa Cruz mountain ranges. Please inquire about off-grid, festival, and vender options where I may be able to serve.

From casual beach birthday parties to indoor & outdoor elegant small weddings to business meetings and more, I charge the amount you see at the bottom of the menus page for the food or drinks you select. Simply tell me how many you want to order. I am a small indie and only source impeccable ingredients ….. so I don’t offer wholesale and larger group discounts.

Rather than an estimate …I can help you understand the “out the door cost” then add my hourly labor from time I start shopping/sourcing event day at Farmers Market until I leave. This is in departure from “per head” catering pricing as I have crystal clear itemized food and labor break down. Fifty percent down payment is required to secure the date for my services and the balance will due paid in full on gathering day when I arrive.

If I bring staff with me, understandably, the labor cost increases.

I exclusively offer the food and drinks on my menu page (click here for menus) with seasonal and non-dairy adaptations; excluding wedding cakes, champagne toast and additional liquor supplies. My customers usually coordinate that themselves or hire bakery etc to help. I do not offer food or drinks outside these 3 diversified menus with aim to please each one of your gathering’s guests who may even have nutrition restrictions or unique eating habits.

For 15 to 25 guests – I automatically bring, 1 server as well as a waiter assistant as my crew. I am the only one who personally shops for you & develops then flavor profile. First by procuring fresh right before event, at Farmers Markets and local health food stores where these specialty products can be found.

Then blending seasoning and preparing onsite to stay within strict food and handling protocol. And so you can ask questions or bring up concerns in real time. I (or we) are dressed in all black with professional attire and beautiful aprons.

Together we want to make your event a magical food & drink experience worth remembering. I can leave the food for you to serve or you can have us serve.

Thank you for your consideration of traditional & modern superfood skillfully prepared with ingenuity and love!

I use phone or a common video platform for the first complimentary consult at 20 minutes to see if my superfood or Glamp services are in alignment with your need. The next time we speak can be on location (superfood gathering) as I need to get a sense of where I can be out of your way, on small scale event day, and also have a small space in or outdoors to prepare for 2 to 3 hrs prior.

For liability (food handling) reasons …..

I don’t work out of cottage or commercial kitchen. I purchase your items same day farmers market or specialty health store. Then I, with food safety handling in mind, only open & then prepare 1 – 3 hrs from scratch on site

Depending on how many guests you have ..or how much food you order…..is how many hrs it takes to prepare. I will give you you that info on my pricing 20 minute consult.
