We booked Kaylin for my bachelorette party and she did a phenomenal job! The food was delicious and everyone enjoyed chatting with her. She was super resourseful and flexible when our oven stopped working mid-prep and she still made the dinner fabulously, it was so appreciated!

Working with Kaylin was an amazing experience. She was fun and easy to work with. Her passion for what she does is evident in her presentation and preparation of the food and it tasted amazing! She made the experience both relaxing and intimate and I can’t wait to book her again.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I aim to use the highest quality ingredients available, so the price of my services will reflect that. I believe all my clients deserve to taste the very best of the bounty that is the East Coast.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We begin by choosing our menu format. I offer a complimentary custom menu consultation via phone/videoconference/or we can meet in person where we get to know each other and personalize your menu. The second option is Chef’s Choice Menu where the magic is left to me and I write your menu based on my current inspiration and seasonality.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I attended Johnson and Wales University and studied Culinary Arts. I have completed Food Service Management ServSafe training.
