Whether it’s a formal sit-down dinner or a free flowing cocktail buffet, I'll prepare you and your guests exciting and interesting dishes to tantalize your palates! The possibilities are truly endless. From traditional dinners seldom seen in restaurants anymore – such as Beef Wellington, Coq au Vin or Veal Picatta – to an evening of International Appetizers, I have thousands of recipes from which to choose. From the hottest new Pacific Fusion cuisine to retro comfort food you will enjoy an evening to remember!
Formal Dinner Party
Wish you had the time in your life for an old-fashioned formal dinner party? Tired of noisy restaurants where it’s difficult to have a conversation with your guests? Let Chef Jessica prepare the food while you relax with your guests. Enjoy a memorable meal that might include Baked Fresh Potato Chips with Caramelized Onions, Sherried Mushroom Empanaditas, and a Beef En Croute with Coriander Walnut Filling. You’ll swoon over Jessica’s Saffron Risotto with Butternut Squash, or her Sweet Potato and Apricot Puree with Pecan Streusel. If you have room for dessert, enjoy an amazing White Chocolate Lemon Napoleon with Fresh Blackberries, or Green Tea Cheesecake with Raspberries and Raspberry-Mint Tisane.
Casual Buffet
Just want to have your buddies over to catch up over a fabulous meal? Consider a meal that includes a Fresh Corn Soup, Warm Goat Cheese Salad, and the most amazing chicken pot pie you’ve ever tasted. End the meal with delicious Peach & Blueberry Cobbler.
Host a Themed Dinner Party
Create a unique experience of interactive, ethnic dining to add another dimension to your event. Tapas Parties, Sushi Rolling, California Wine Country, Bangkok Nights, and Caribbean Vacation are just some of the fun themes you can incorporate into your event.
