Chef's Thoughts
At Everything But The Guest, I believe that the final product is only as good as the ingredients that went into making it. That is why I travel to Farmer's Markets throughout the Bay Area and Central Valley to bring you fresh sustainable seasonal products. I have also built working relationships with many small local producers of items that include wine, olive oils, pear vinegar and lavender just to name a few. This philosophy not only lends to sustainability but produces amazingly flavorful and higher nutrient meals.
Personal Chef Service
Life can be quite hectic, and then there is the daily question of what to eat: pizza, take-out, pre-packaged meals? Why not let someone else worry about that. Personal chef services are very affordable, offering you peace of mind because there will always be a fresh meal at home. Every menu is custom designed for you, and approved by you, based on fresh seasonal products.
Here’s how it works:
On the scheduled cooking day, I will do all of the grocery shopping, arriving at your home with the freshest ingredients. I will bring my own cooking equipment, prepare your meals to your specifications, package & label and leave instructions for reheating. You will arrive home to a house filled with wonderful aromas and a clean kitchen.
Here’s what you get:
The 5x4 (20 meals) is five different meals with four portions each, complete with sides packaged family style. This option is perfect for a family of four.You’ll also get a loaf of fresh-made bread each week.
I also offer a 5x2 (10 meals) package for smaller families.

Small catering events are my specialty. I really enjoy creating, planning and implementing small events. Let me create a fabulous dinner party for you, so you have time to visit with your guests. Planning a birthday party for your daughter? Why not try a High Tea? Have a group of friends that would like to do some cooking or start a cooking group? I can help!
