Chef Jay did an amazing job for my mother-in-laws backyard wedding! The first conversation with her was very professional and she took note of all of my requests. All of the food she prepared was delicious and she was so kind and easy to communicate with. I would definitely hire her again for another event! :)

I hired Chef Jay Amber to cater a 10 person Christmas dinner party. The service she provided was exquisite. She and her assistant arrived punctually, and immediately set about preparing a feast fit for royalty. I especially appreciated chefs flexibility, because some of my guests encountered interstate travel difficulties. She was able to accommodate the situation, and the food she served was consumed to universal rave reviews. I am certain that I will use her services again and again. I award her the highest grades for food quality, professionalism and integrity.

Details: Dinner party • Dinner • American - Southern • Buffet • No, drop off only • Home • Yes, full kitchen • Fewer than 20 guests • Premium (high end ingredients)
