Stephanie helped my husband and I with a dinner in our home. We hosted three other couples for the evening and Stephanie was amazing. The food was excellent. We went with her recommendations and weren't disappointed! Tomato soup with puff-pastry, fresh mixed green salad, Italian chicken over pasta, and a delicious chocolate souffle to top it all off! It was such a treat to be able to visit with our guests and not be tied to the kitchen. Thanks Stephanie! We're looking forward to trying out your weekly meal deliveries too!

I hired Stephanie Miller to cook for an eight person dinner party at my house. We initially exchanged emails so she could understand the scope and I could get an idea of the cost. We then met to cover the menu and scheduled a date. On the day of the event, she showed up on time, was professional and more than delivered the meal for which we had previously planned. We had a four course meal and the food was absolutely delicious. Each course was timed so that we were not rushed and she checked in with us to make sure the pace was as expected. She served the meal and cleaned up the whole kitchen before leaving. The evening was a great success and I'd recommend her to anyone planning a dinner party.

Stephanie has been providing my family with fabulous weeknight meals. She brilliantly meets our varying dietary needs including 2 HUNGRY teenage boys. It has been a seamless process! If you want to reduce stress and make meal time fun again, call Stephanie!

Stephanie prepared our Thanksgiving dinner in our home for our family and guests for a total of 14 people. She was extremely helpful with suggesting menu ideas for our requested traditional Thanksgiving meal. Stephanie was friendly, professional and an excellent cook. She served our meal, catered to last minute extra requests and cleaned up. Her "grandmother's" stuffing was amazing and her pumpkin cheesecake was to die for. We loved her so much we asked her come back and prepare our Christmas Eve dinner!

We hired Stephanie to cook and execute a Passover Seder Dinner. There were many courses that Stephanie cooked deliciously and presented well. She helped us plan the menu and then took over. We were very pleased, she made the evening enjoyable for us and our guests!!

FAQs

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I'm constantly researching what's new in the culinary field, through reading and going out to restaurants
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I've always loved cooking, I've done it since I was young. I was in advertising after I graduated from college and it was fine, but it was just a job. I wanted my job to be my passion so that's why I quit my job and went to culinary school
What types of customers have you worked with?
I pretty much do it all. I have a lot of clients with dietary restrictions so I delivery food weekly for them. I have clients that want to learn new recipes to cook that are not only good, but are fairly quick to make. I also do a lot of catering jobs from sit down dinners to up to 30 people to passed and stationary items for up to 200 people.
