Introduction
I work with customers to create an experience that they will remember. Whether I'm coming to cook for a small dinner party or teaching a cooking class, I do all of the planning and preparation (including shopping for groceries), so you can sit back and enjoy the experience without stress.
I love to work with customers to create a menu that works for them. I love to share my love of food and cooking with the people around me. My food philosophy is great ingredients plus simple techniques make delicious meals. I do not believe that food needs to be complicated or time consuming. This is how I cook for families and parties, and it is also how I teach my cooking classes.
I am happy to accommodate most dietary restrictions and preferences.

We found Maria online as we were looking for a chef to make a dinner for our group of 10 at a family reunion at a timeshare near Disney parks. We are so lucky to have found her. She provided options for what to have at a very reasonable price, and purchased all the ingredients needed for our dinner. The evening was just a wonderful combination of delicious food, discussions on cooking techniques, and overall just a very entertaining and enjoyable evening. And so much cheaper than if we had gone out together as a group. I highly recommend Maria if you are looking to do a similar kind of event.
Details: Brunch / dinner party • 6 - 10 guests • Dinner • Standard (basic ingredients) • Italian • Southern • Mexican / Latin American • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

Maria does a great job with our family, she presents us with a different menu every week catered to our liking. Takes changes and adjustments well. Shops for the freshest and best ingredients and really takes pride in every dish she makes.

Maria's response time was wonderful less than 12 hours and was at my house that same afternoon for a consultation. She came yesterday to prepare the meals. My son has a ton of diet restrictions and she was so accommodating and patient with going over everything with me. I feel like I can get my life back again with Maria saving me from my kitchen. Everything we have tried so far has been delicious! You will not be disappointed in hiring Maria!

If you want some of the best food that could rival your mother's then look no further. Maria who runs Sobremesa whips up some of the most out of the box ideas that will leave you literally begging for her to make the dish again and again such as her ropa vieja. Her salads are some of the best I have ever had the pleasure of munching on. The best part too is that they are not dishes that are out of reach making yourself, but surprisingly easy and teachable. Many of her salads and appetizers I have replicated for my own guests. I highly recommend Sobremesa and look forward to my next meal prepared by this phenomenal chef.
