It was wonderful working with Amelia! She thought of every detail for my wedding. On my wedding day, my husband and I did not have any worries knowing Amelia was there!
What’s your signature dish?
Classic Southern cuisine influences my overall culinary style and while I love to cook creole dishes my preference is to infuse this style into a variety of dishes that I create. While plant-based, vegan and vegetarian cuisine are my specialty I will provide private chef and boutique catering for a variety of health supportive diets.
How do you go about creating the perfect menu for your clients?
It all begins with an initial consultation to discuss the details of the event. This includes understanding the theme, look, and feel as well as the intent of the hosts. It is important to me to understand my clients needs to execute an event that exceeds their expectations. In addition, I determine menu options that compliment and reflect the dietary needs of the client and their guests.
What do you love most about your job?
Ensuring every detail is handled to execute a seamless event. In addition, I love preparing the freshest gourmet cuisine to my clients and their guests!
What inspired you to start your own business?
Entrepreneurship and service is part of my DNA! My great grandmother owned her own farm here in NC and my maternal grandmother was always extending her home and kitchen to others in need. Their legacy is love and it is in my business ventures I hope to extend that legacy to others. I live to create and owning my own business enables me to express my creativity through culinary and event design.
Why should our clients choose you?
Exceptional service, attention to details and amazing cuisine are my top three priorities with every client I serve. My holistic approach to catering and event design enables me to address all aspects of my clients needs - mind, body and spirit when life's journey requires celebration!
