We have had Jessica cater three private platted dinners at our home, each event served 25-30 persons. All of the guests have enjoyed fine dining at restaurants in San Francisco and globally for many years. Our ambition was not to replicate a restaurant but to have friends to our home for cocktails and dinner where the food, wine and conversation blended into a memorable afternoon and evening. Jessica’s culinary and social skills made each of these dinners highly successful. Cocktail appetizers were splendid and garnered attention so that when the homemade bread and fresh greens launched dinner, all our guests started asking for Jessica’s contact information. We have had a variety of main courses, duck, lamb, halibut and gnocchi, among others, served alternately family style and individually. Jessica engaged with our guests and everyone enjoyed speaking to her about her history, food preparation and presentation. The food she served received rave reviews from all of our guests. Her staff has proven capable and clean-up has been excellent. We expect to have Chef Jessica remain an integral partner in our dinner party planning moving forward.

Chef Jessica Yarr is professional, a direct communicator and skilled in the kitchen. We at the Santa Cruz Community Farmers Markets have worked with her for over a decade and have always been impressed. Jessica's menus and dishes are driven by what is in season. She gets excited, even thrilled, in the imaginative process of flavor combination, texture combination and the creation of food on a plate that is visually striking or pleasing.
