Marcia Harding
Catering
They were very pleasant to work with. Willing to find the best quality of foods for whatever kind of cuisine you chose. Came in the home and set everything up professionally. For clean up all we had to do was put their items in containers and leave outside and they came and picked them up. More...
What’s your signature dish?
Ok, this is a very difficult question for me. I love exploring, playing with and experimenting with every kind of cuisine (my family comes from Brazil, Morocco and Taiwan) imaginable. Each dish eventually becomes a signature dish, so for example, this year I have been hyper focused on Machaca, authentic homemade pasta, Asian Bao and chicken pot pie...I put so much love and attention into my dishes that they are all my favorite and they all are delicious.
How do you go about creating the perfect menu for your clients?
My process is what I call my "Superpower." I have prospective clients fill out a questionaire that I've created to give me insight to their taste preferences and expectations. From there, I create a customized menu based on their answers and budget and work with the client to fine tune the menu the to be exactly what they desire. The perfect menu just for them.
What do you love most about your job?
Practicing empathy through food and the connecting elements it brings.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Working in restraunts I didn't have creative control over what I was making and how it was presented. Also, being a woman in a kitchen is incredibly difficult, by owning my own business I can practice my values and better challenge my own creative process. It also gives me the freedom and flexibility to better source local ingredients and inform clients about foodways.
Why should our clients choose you?
Because I make OUTSTANDING food and it's not just about me, its about the community. Its all connected.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
Dropoff services (while not detracting from the private chef experience) to limit exposure to clients, Limiting unneccasry contact outside of work, I am partially vaccinated already but still diligently wearing a mask and keeping my bubble small. Overall, my customer's safety and the people they come into contact with is my number one priority.
