DINNER PARTIES

Make your next party one YOU enjoy as much as your guests. Let Chef Jennifer take all the stress out of your party, whether it’s for four or fifty.

Imagine its 5:00 on a Saturday afternoon. You’ve just gotten home from the soccer and 2 T-ball games your kids had all day, and you have 25 people arriving for dinner in just about an hour. That’s when you realize, the table is set, hors d’oeuvres are ready to go, and the delicious smell of dinner in the oven is wafting in from your kitchen. All you need to do is take a quick shower, run a brush through your hair, and you’re ready for a festive evening with friends and family.

At the end of the night when the party is over and all of your guests have left, you find your kitchen spotless. Plates and glasses are washed and put away and you enjoyed yourself all night. Every little detail was taken care of and you were able to mingle with your guests and enjoy a stress free evening. That's when you realize….this was the best party you have ever thrown.

Some of the types of parties Chef Jennifer has done in the past:

Casual Buffet
Elegant Dinners

Wine parings
Ladies luncheons
Theme dinners from around the world
