Always On Thyme: A Little Bit of Everything

May 8, 2012

A Little Bit of Everything

Last Saturday was my 2nd "official" Always on Thyme catering event and it turned out to be the perfect spread. Minty-Lime Fruit Salad, Mexican Quinoa Salad, Roasted Beet Spinach Salad w/ Toasted Almonds and Salem Blue, and Lemon-Herb Chicken Skewers w/ Za'atar Spiced Yogurt proved to be just what the Frontrunners, (http://www.sffr.org/) needed to get back on their feet and continue their relay race to Santa Cruz, (starting point was Calistoga). Okay, so the hot tub, the pool and Marcus, (the masseuse) may have had something to do with it...but either way, it's usually the whole package that makes the difference, in more ways than one. Marcus definitely had something to do with it. I had a knot in my back that he so graciously worked out.
A big thanks to Katherine Holland, (http://www.katharineholland.com/) for trusting me to deliver the goods....and also to Marcus Valera and Jon Cain for all their help!

What’s more personal than hiring a “personal chef”?

Everyone’s needs are different. You might love to cook, but don’t have the time. I can work with your favorite recipes to make sure your refrigerator’s stocked with healthy, flavorful meals even when you’re too busy to make them yourself. Maybe you’re stuck in a menu rut, and need a little inspiration. Or want to treat busy parents to the ultimate indulgence: someone else preparing the food and taking care of cleanup for a change. Want to host a small dinner party with a wine pairing? It’s my pleasure. (I partner with Michelle Lowry, a wine guru from Portland’s Fruition wine bar, whose special interest is the contrast between old and new world wines, especially wines from the Italian regions of Tuscany and Marche.)

My services include menu planning, sourcing seasonal ingredients, and preparing delicious, convenient, fully reheatable meals, made just the way you like them. No time to shop? No problem. I can pick up what’s necessary, prepare meals in advance at my place and deliver them, or cook them at yours. I’m happy to cater to whatever you need, no matter how small or large your request. My goal is make mealtime easy, seamless, and rewarding for you: from menu planning to grocery shopping to prep to service: it’s all possible.
