My word is my bond. I personally guarantee that me and my staff will provide you and your guests outstanding service and will offer the professional excellence you derserve in the areas of:

 In-Home Demonstrations

Would you like to learn how to cook elegant meals or a specific cuisine? Would you just like to have a bunch of your closest friends and family over and not have to do the cooking? The Joyful Palate offers so many ways to prepare and teach food preparation right in the privacy of your own home. If you can think of it...we can make it happen...or die trying!

Menu Planning, Shopping, and Preparation

We can either do things by email and phone calls or I can come to your home and sit with you to discuss your food preferences. Together we will design a menu based on your likes and needs. To make it easier on you and me, I will do all the shopping to ensure all of the necessary ingredients are purchased and will prepare the meals outlined on your customized menu. Menus can be made based on weekly or monthly needs. If the latter is required, your food will be prepared and frozen so that you can simply defrost and enjoy.

Personal Chef Services

Whether you are on vacation for a week or a local wanting someone to cook your meals daily... I am your girl!! I will bring a daily meal or use your kitchen to prepare meals. Its better than eating out and will enable you and your family to spend more time together.

Weddings

I love wedding receptions! It's the first meal a married couple gets to enjoy and celebrate with friends and family. Since everything I prepare is from scratch not a box or freezer your reception food will be delicious! I pride myself in giving the Bride to Be free reign to pick a menu she and her groom prefer not a list you have to settle with. I have everything you'll need to celebrate your perfect day.

The Joyful Palate is a little different than most caterers because we provide all the setups...not charge for their use. Also we believe that presentation is 90% of your dinning experience so we willingly decorate your buffet table accordingly to ensure that not only will the food be pleasing to the palate but the eye as well.

Private Events

I can help you plan and cater all your personal events including wakes, birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, and so much more!

Corporate Events

If you are trying to impress new clients or show appreciation to your employees go one step further with the Joyful Palate. As with all our services three key elements make the Joyful Palate superior to other caterers and restaurants, fresh product, a passion for cooking and a real desire to serve our clients. Food isn't just dropped up or stuck on a table with some plates and flatware, the special touches we provide will "wow" your new Clients and allow your employees to feel you went the extra mile for them and in turn they'll see you care. some of the past functions we have done for businesses have been Customer appreciation days, Christmas and holiday parties, breakfast, lunch and dinner meetings as well as retirement parties.

Public Events

I participate in many community events involving culinary arts, ranging from cooking classes to cooking competitions.
