Introduction

rowan & dough is a bespoke catering/private chef business specializing in all things dough. We curate menus based on your event, and love to work with what's in season. We offer drop off catering services, private chef services, meal prep & cooking classes. From founder Chef Natalie Allesee: I have worked as a Chef for 15 years in various restaurants around the Twin Cities. I am classically trained (Le Cordon Bleu), but garnered the majority of my knowledge from working for various high profile (and James Beard Nominated) Chefs in MN. I have worked in fine dining & casual restaurants, and have a passion for curating menus specifically to the guests palate. Hyper-local, low waste cooking is what has always driven me creatively, and whole vegetable, vegetarian focused meals are my specialty. I use heritage grains, locally sourced produce & and upcycling ingredients in order to align cooking with my values. Whatever waking moments I have not reading about/cooking food, I am hiking/foraging/enjoying the beauty of MN. --ask us about our heritage grain pasta!

Hired on Thumbtack

We had Chef Natalie for my daughter’s 13th birthday, and she was absolutely fantastic! She was incredibly nice and easy to work with, especially when accommodating my daughter’s food allergies. The menu she created was delicious. Natalie is also a great teacher! She patiently explained all the cooking steps to my girls, making the entire experience enjoyable for everyone. It was truly a pleasure to work with her.

Our experience with Natalie was amazing! She was very attentive to our needs and was able to make our dinner very special. We had a 3 course meal which was delicious! She was easy to converse with which put us at ease with this being our first time hiring a private chef. She’s not only an exceptional cook but also people oriented and will undoubtedly give you an experience of a lifetime. We will definitely be calling her back!
