Frequently Asked Questions

 
What is the consultation for?

Each service begins with a consultation. Once we have received some preliminary information from you, we will arrange to meet with you to finalize a menu and details for your event, or to finalize a lesson plan that meets your interests and needs.

This meeting should be in the home where the food preparation, cooking, and dining will take place so that we can assess what will be needed to ensure your event goes smoothly, or what will be needed to conduct the lesson.

What size parties do you cater?
We can cater a dinner for two up to an event with 50 guests. Events with over 20 guests will typically be served as a buffet style dinner or a menu of appetizers/tapas.
How many people can I have for a group cooking lesson?
The minimum for a group lesson is 6 people, with 6 to 12 people being an ideal number. Depending on the lesson plan, the maximum would be 16 people.
Do you provide vegetarian/vegan and gluten free menu options?
We can accommodate guests with dietary concerns. We work with you to create a menu in which adaptations can be made in a way that those guests do not feel like they are eating dishes from a completely different menu.
Do you provide cocktails and wine pairings?
Typically, as a cost savings for you, we do not provide beverage service. We can certainly make suggestions for cocktail and wine pairings to compliment the menu. An additional fee would apply if you would like us to purchase beverages. We can also arrange to hire a bartending service for you if desired.
Do I need to provide the cooking utensils, pots & pans, serving dishes, etc?

We bring with us everything we need for food preparation and cooking. Typically for a smaller dinner party, the host will be responsible for providing the serving dishes, dinnerware and cutlery, etc. Depending on the menu, catering style, and number of guests, we will provide some of the dishes or make arrangements to acquire what is needed. This is all worked out in the consultation and planning stages.

For cooking lessons, we provide the tools needed to conduct the lesson including single-burner portable stoves. We can also provide tables to accommodate larger groups.

Do you cater at places that are not a person’s home?
We can cater at different venues provided there are some basic facilities that will allow us to prepare food onsite. We have catered at schools for staff events and at offices for meetings.
Do you provide services outside of Edmonton and surrounding areas?
We serve Edmonton, St. Albert, and surrounding areas within 50 kms (ie. Morinville, Spruce Grove, Stony Plain, Leduc, Beaumont, Devon, Sherwood Park, Fort Saskatchewan). We will consider travelling up 150 kms from St. Albert, however, additional travel costs would apply.
