Each…read moreitem brings its own personality to the plate, and together they make one seriously satisfying , we enjoyed the Beef & Cheese Empanadas Golden, flaky, and packed with flavor--these empanadas hit all the right notes. The seasoned beef is rich and savory, perfectly balanced by the creamy, melty cheese inside. Every bite delivers a warm, hearty filling wrapped in a crisp shell that holds up beautifully. Comforting, bold, and incredibly easy to love. Garlic Parm Chicken Bites Tender, juicy chicken coated in a garlic-forward parmesan crust that brings both crunch and flavor. The garlic is assertive without overpowering, and the parmesan adds that salty, nutty finish that keeps you reaching for the next piece. They're addictive in the best way. Maple Bacon Mac & Cheese Croquettes These are pure indulgence in bite-sized form. The creamy mac and cheese interior is already luxurious, but the hint of maple sweetness paired with smoky bacon takes it over the top. Crispy on the outside, gooey on the inside--each croquette is a little pocket of decadence. Parmesan Truffle Fries A standout side on their own, these fries hit that perfect balance of crisp exterior and fluffy center. The truffle aroma is inviting without being overwhelming, and the parmesan provides a salty, umami-rich layer that ties everything together. Elevated yet comforting. Overall This entire selection delivers a mix of comfort, creativity, and crave-worthy flavor. Whether you're in it for the bold, the cheesy, the crunchy, or the indulgent--there's something here that's going to win you over.

I had the pleasure of meeting Chef Trish and her staff at a 3 day private birthday celebration held…read moreat The Chef's House on Candlewood Lake (more about that on a different review). First, Chef Trish and staff: Friendly, engaging, hardworking, attentive to details. As a group which included young children running around we never felt that we were in the way. Trish made us feel like we were part of the cooking adventure. Chef Trish's food: farm to table, locally sourced delicacies, outstanding use of spices and herbs. The explanation of each course along with the pop quizzes of hidden ingredients made our special sit down dinner so much fun. The myriad of new tastes over the 3 days was a wonderful gift to our taste buds. Chef Trish's clever use of different herbs, vinegars and spices enhanced the flavors of her Asian Shrimp appetizer, the Iberico pork, the Wagu beef....and so many other dishes. The compound butter using Asian scallions was so delicious we were eating it on anything we could find the next morning. From the charcuterie board to the blueberry and cottage cheese cake, everything was outstanding. As an aside...I greatly appreciated the kindness Chef Trish showed my Grandson when he needed to cook his own food. He has extreme food allergies and she gave him complete run of the stove while talking to him about allergies and how he could enhance some of his food. Their interaction was priceless. They spoke to each other like old friends. What compassion. I would highly recommend Chef Trish and her staff for small, medium or large gourmet, fun events. Barb L

Chef Josef was prompt and delightful company, bringing his own cooking supplies and cleaning up by the time we were nearly finished with the scrumptious carrot cake he brought for dessert. The shrimp scampi was delicious and lemony which I love and I took a couple of photos.

I came across them as a vendor at the West End Farmers' Market (a 2 minute walk from my home) last summer where they've got a weekly rotating menu of from-scratch baked goods, fresh popsicles in fun, inventive flavors, spritzers, sauces and so much more. Let's Start From Scratch also features an amazing lineup of prepared meals that inspires me to eat a bit healthier without sacrificing great flavor (there's this one sweet potato / brussels sprout / cabbage coconut curry dish that's to die for). Plenty of vegan, vegetarian & gluten free dishes as well! Did I mention homemade choco tacos and macaron ice cream sandwiches? Molly is going to be a vendor at WEFM again this season so don't miss out!
