We hired her for our wedding reception, my husband didn't want me to do anything for the reception, he told me to find someone to do it for us. Well I found Cindy, we sat down with her and in 5 minutes I knew she was the right person for our reception. We told her we would like to have a "Western theme" she took the reins () and ran with the idea. Next thing we knew we had the best "Upscale" BBQ for 80 people one could ask for And as advertised with love.cook.nourish, Cindy made our wedding cake also, Very Banana with Cream Cheese frosting and two different flavors of cupcakes for our guest What a fantastic night we all had Thank You Cindy and Staff at LCN

I could write a book on catering parties as a former restauranteur but most of you reading this…read morewould be bored. So I'll just get to the point. I have never hired a caterer for myself because I simply don't trust anyone else to cook for my guests - until now! This occasion was special - my wife and I were throwing our daughter an engagement party for about 70 people. Thank goodness I hired Cindy! Forget the fact there is no way I could have done this on my own for that many people anyway - but what really made the event was the fact she was beyond the ultimate professional she was a better version of me (sorry not trying to brag - just stating facts). She was incredibly prepared (and brought her daughter Ronnie who was an amazing help as well!). She knew her way around my grill as if it was her own. She brought all the right tools and gadgets to ensure every dish came out perfect - which ALL of them did! And she even took the tails off the 10 lbs of shrimp I had mistakingly ordered - in literally minutes - incredible! Everything was cooked, grilled and presented with absolute perfection. Last night was the start of something special between my family and love.cook.nourish. Cindy is now the only person I will trust going forward and is now unofficially an adopted member of our family or should I say my sister from another mother... Love.cook.nourish is hands down the best caterer for your event or party - regardless of how complex or simple, you want to make it! And if you have read this far you better get going and contact her quickly for your party because she is going to be in the highest demand as word gets out about this gem! PS - feel free to reach out to me for more specifics if you wish - always happy to share more details.

Chef Kellie has put in so much of her heart and soul into creating a healthy lifestyle that's sustainable - from honey from her own honey bees to fresh veggies and herbs grown from her own backyard. It is an actual sanctuary with a water feature flowing through, a coy pond, and beautiful pergolas. The fact that she's the first Mekho in Contra Costa County is a testament to her generous personality and love of hosting friends and family. We felt like family as soon as we walked in and she gave us a full tour of her backyard. Everything, from the mocktails with beautiful homemade syrups, refreshing salad, garlic noodles with a veggie twist, delicious and innovative thin crust pizzas (the asparagus gremolata was our absolute favorite), and mouth watering chocolate chip and brown butter cookies and ice cream, were so unique to her and so so flavorful. After all of the courses, we were unianimously in agreement that this was one of the best food experiences we've ever had. Chef Kellie is such a loving and energetic personality and host, you really can't help but admire her! We will definitely be back at her oasis for new eats, hope to have her cater future family events and highly recommend her to all. Thank you Chef Kellie for opening your patio upto us - very grateful to have experienced this and to have met you.

Every year around the holidays, my company provides lunch for the entire operating room staff, and…read moreeach year my company asks for someone to volunteer to make all the arrangements. For the past 10 years, I have successfully avoided this onerous task because I really don't know the first thing about arranging a luncheon for 90 people, during work hours, in 2 separate locations, with food everyone will like, taking into account the need for leftovers for the evening shift. Can you see why I avoided this for so long?! This fateful year, I was stuck with the task and only had 3 weeks to schedule, coordinate, and execute. I had seen what a good job Girard's did catering another function I attended, so they were the first catering company I called. Thank God for Linda - she literally took the reigns and delivered in incredible fashion. When I was distressed to hear that all of her pre-Christmas workdays were already reserved, she suggested the Thursday a couple days after Christmas. I explained how little experience I had dealing with meal plans, and suddenly she describes a whole menu: Smokey Paprika Rubbed Chicken Breasts~drizzled with a Maple Mustard Sauce; Basil Pesto Cavatappi Pasta~served hot~with Sun Dried Tomatoes, Sweet Peas, & Fresh Chopped Spinach; Caesar Salad~with shaved Parmesan, Shredded red cabbage & Our Homemade Rosemary Garlic Croutons; Quinoa & Kale Salad~with Turmeric Roasted Caulifower, Butternut Squash, Brussel Sprouts & Dried Cranberries~with an Orange Zested White Balsamic Vinaigrette; Sliced baguettes~butter; Gingerbread Cupcakes with Lemon Buttercream; Cranberry Bliss Cookies; Chocolate Cupcakes crème de Menthe Buttercream; and Salted Caramel Chip Cookies. Plus, she and her team bring it all in, set it up and take it all away?! SOLD!! They arrived on time, set everything up beautifully, and cleaned up. everyone raved about the food - "best lunch ever", "amazing food", etc... The Good: ALL THE FOOD WAS INCREDIBLE. Not just "good for a catered lunch" but really individually tasty and enjoyable. The chicken was cooked perfectly and had a terrific mix of sweet, savory, and spicy I would never expect out of a chafing dish. The pasta was toothsome and had the textures and flavors of the sun dried tomatoes and peas to really set it off. My favorite, to my infinite surprise, was the Quinoa and Kale salad. I hate kale and am not very fond of quinoa either, but the delicately spiced, deliciously roasted vegetables and just the right amount of dressing on this salad changed my mind. I at two plates of the stuff! The caeser salad was presented nicely but how much can you really do with a caeser? Well, theirs was a huge hit because of the homemade dressing they made that everyone raved about. It was almost as good as mine, and I'm really picky about caeser dressing. And every one of the desserts were flavorful and perfect. The set up was tasteful and pretty, and they didn;t leave a mess when they cleaned it all up. The Bad: nothing The Mediocre: nothing Overall: I can't speak highly enough of Linda and her staff. Not only are they very nice people in general, but they also deliver with some extremely tasty, imaginative food that will satisfy even the pickiest guests. If you are looking for catering, look no further!
