I was so excited to use Chef Audrey for my club's annual Tea Party fundraiser. We were going to…read morehave actual tea party food served at our event. The food presented at our tasting was both visually appealing, heartly looking, fresh and tasty. Artisan bread, thicker sliced roast beef, a delicious chucky chicken salad, herb cream cheese english cucumber sandwiches, spinach & feta mini tartlets, and individual baby arugula salad cups with shaved parmesan & lemon vinaigrette. Yummy!!! Our agreement was 2k in costs to create the menu since tea party food is much more labor extensive plus cost of actual product used. I thought that was fair and helpful. Sadly, that is not what we received day of the event...for 234 guests. Evidently she had problems with employee's not showing up to create the menu, and to be plated at our event. We were to supply 10 volunteers to get the food out to our guests, luckily I had an additional 16 volunteers that were able to help her. Not enough tartlets were made for all the guests to get 2, and there were not enough cucumber sandwiches for every guest. Her solution for this issue was to remove the product costs for the tartlets & cucumber sandwiches since not every guest received them. At this point I just needed to get our guests feed and encourage her to keep herself together. Here's where it gets worse. The food wasn't anywhere near the quality, or flavor of what I tasted. The bread was not the same, it was cheap store bought sliced white bread. The roast beef was not the same, it was the prepackage lunch meat from the grocery store, and the chicken was from a can, not the beautifully diced chicken. Nothing that I tasted was served. There was no salad in cups prepared ahead of time, it had to be placed on the same plate as the tea sandwiches. I understand that things can happen and substitutions will need to be made, but not for everything. I felt that we did not receive 2k worth of "labor, transport, and plating" to her high quality standards, and she was unwilling to reduce that price, that had already been paid. From our prospective it felt like it was a bait and switch. Clearly, whatever employee issues she had, it started well before the day of our event. It was a just an awful experience and our only complaint was about the food, which by all accounts, should have been amazing. What a sad and embarrassing experience.

We love Brigitte! My daughter recently started taking some lessons from Brigitte as part of her…read morehomeschooling. She aspires to one day be a chef and Brigitte has been the perfect teacher/mentor/friend for my 11 year old. She is so patient, warm and above all, talented. Her approach to food is amazing, elegant and flavorful without being stuffy. She's capable of cooking a wide range of ethnic meals and has a tremendous understanding of flavor. Her approach to food is simple and uncluttered, but the finished product is always fantastic. I firmly believe that a good part of cooking successfully is instinct and Brigitte's got it. Couple her instinct and technique, and you've got a winning combination. Even better that she's personable, kindhearted and a joy to be around. Whether she's cooking for one, a family, a dinner party or an event, her talent shines.

It was so easy and she took into account a wide range of food restrictions. The menu was amazing with bright and diverse flavors that were well balanced. It includes a non alcoholic drink, appetizer, main course, and a dessert. Also everything was packaged in aluminum or glass...no styrofoam. This is a local business with a lot of promise. If you're traveling to the area for a week consider adding this to one of your evenings. It's relaxing to not have to go out with the crowds and also not cook. Will hopefully be using her again for some desserts.
