Client Testimonials

“Chef Sarah has saved our summer! She is so creative, such a fabulous chef, and such a joy to work with. Sarah has done everything from bringing bagged lunches to our construction crew, to preparing dinners and delivering them for dinner parties at home, to feeding our family during their visits, to bringing a healthy, delicious dinner for just my husband and me. She uses our wonderful local produce and can customize her menu to accommodate allergies and special diets. Since we are limiting our dining out during these COVID times, we’ve decided to treat ourselves to a “night out” Sarah dinner once a week. Her “stock the fridge” menu will be a huge hit. I wish we could take her back to our winter home with us!” – Sherry Barrat
“We love Sarah’s meals, kids gobble them up and help us on our busy days!” – Danielle Fry
“My family has enjoyed the healthy ready-made meals Chef Sarah prepares. We can eat healthy with homecooked food, but I don’t have to do the dishes or prep work! It’s a saving grace for a busy working mom. Just order in advance and your meals are ready to put in the oven! Thanks Sarah”  -Sommer Poquette

“Chef Sarah prepared a delicious, locally sourced meal for our family at our home. She adapted to our dietary restrictions and was very communicative! Would highly recommend Chef Sarah!!”

“Chef Sarah came to our house and prepared a delicious three course meal for 10 people in Charlevoix. We thoroughly enjoyed the tomato, corn and burrata salad, fish and steak and strawberry cheese cake dessert. She accommodated several food allergies. We learned a lot about northern MI local ingredients and would highly recommend working with her!”
“Chef Sarah’s meals were not only delicious but a lifesaver for me during a busy week at home and work. It’s a sense of relief to know that my family and I can have quality, home-cooked food, even when we don’t have time to prepare it ourselves.”
