My daughter and I hired Abigail to prepare an intimate wedding dinner for 15 people in August 2023. Abigail was prompt to reach out and proved easy and pleasant to chat with about what we had in mind. We were looking for a meal of simple elegance with local and seasonal ingredients. Abigail was on board with that and offered a lot of creative suggestions that made it easy to set our menu. Her professionalism and enthusiasm for her craft was clear before we even tasted her work.As the day grew closer, Abigail was available and responded quickly to last minute questions and decisions.On the day of the wedding, she was early and well prepared. We were impressed by her ability to arrive in an unfamiliar kitchen and get to work preparing something delicious despite the mild chaos of the wedding party around her. She prepared three courses for our meal, and brought each one to our table at just the right moment, adapting to our needs when we arrived at the table later than we had planned. Each course was delicious and unique in its own way, and her attention to detail in quality, sourcing, preparation, and presentation were exceptional.She also baked and exquisitely decorated the wedding cake. It was more beautiful than the inspiration picture we shared, and its rich texture and bright flavor matched its lovely appearance.All this to say, Abigail exceeded our expectations! Her passion paired with her creative gifts made for a wonderful wedding dinner. We highly recommend her and hope to have the occasion to hire her for another event in the future.

Chef Abigail elevated our company's partner dinner into a truly unforgettable evening. Abigail is extremely knowledgeable and thoughtful in how she crafts each course and the flavor profiles built throughout the evening. The pacing of each course, the care with which her partner crafted the pairing menu, and her engaging interactions with our team were top notch. I highly recommend Chef Abigail for your next company event.

I worked with Abigail on a private dinner for a friend's bachelorette weekend. Abigail was fantastic to work with and the ultimate professional from start to finish: communicative, responsive, accommodating, and proactive. She consistently provided fun/creative suggestions for food to accommodate several dietary restrictions. She went above and beyond; taking the ferry to remote Orcas Island, arriving at the Airbnb early, and communicating throughout the process. Bringing in Abigail's expertise for an intimate dinner was not only lovely and delicious, but a fabulous experience overall. Every dish was beautifully crafted, creative, and unique. All seven of us raved about her cooking, presentation, and food all weekend long and agreed it was a highlight of the trip to elevate the weekend. I could not recommend Abigail more for any of your future catering/culinary needs and would love to work with her again. Thank you, Abigail, for making the weekend so special!

Abigail was fantastic! She did a great job communicating before the event and on the day of the event she arrived on time and was ready to go with everything already set-up. She also did a great job with decoration. The food quality was amazing. Every dish was beautifully crafted and tasted amazing. The dishes were also creative and had a unique touch. We would definitely work with her again and highly recommend this experience.
