Some of our staff have gone on to start their own businesses and use their training towards certification as professional chefs. We also support local community groups and businesses. Through contracts with government agencies, Veterans Affairs Canada, and the Canadian Red Cross, we help provide meals to Canadians in emergencies and other vulnerable situations. We’re committed to giving back and to building a vibrant, thriving community.

Back by popular demand, and we are so excited to do it again. We are hosting 4 Chefs, and 4 Cuisine during September and October. Spaces in classes are limited as these classes are very hands-on, and we want to ensure that all participants cook their own dishes. Please note those who have dietary restrictions or allergies, we cannot guarantee there will be no cross-contamination, especially in the Thai Cooking class, where you will learn how to make Pad Thai, which is traditionally made with peanuts and almost every dish contains fish sauce (our version of salt). Looking forward to being a part of this series and learning different ethnic cuisines from these other 3 Chefs.

When I moved to Fredericton 14 years ago and 2 years later opened up LJW Catering, it has always been my vision to create a space that would connect chefs from around the world, who wanted to share their ethnic cuisine with our incredible community. I have had the opportunity to live in 4 different countries and travelled all over the world, experiencing diverse cultures and some of the most incredible cuisines that my palate has ever tasted.

Over the past 10 years, the diverse food culture has exploded within Fredericton and continues to grow as more and more newcomers decide to call Fredericton their new home.

With the incredible team from My Ignite and Sarah Cassie being the point person in this partnership, 4 amazing Chefs will share their culture and cuisine in a hands-on cooking class in the LJW Catering kitchen. Afterward, all participants will get to share their creations in our private dinning and will most likely form connections as they reminisce about the evening.

I hope you will join us in this amazing culinary experience

SOLD OUT!
Thank you, thank you thank you to all our new and regular clients this holiday season. We are officially sold out of our Turkey Dinners! Hope to see you next year. Friendly reminder to get your orders in early November 2024 for next year. Remember that we cater to all dietary restrictions.... gluten-free, vegetarian, Vegan and allergies.
Here's wishing you all a wonderful holiday season with family and friends!

11/13/2023

Clients continually ask me what I really enjoy about our Thai 1 On Dinner parties in their homes, where we get to bring Thailand and other Asian cuisine into your homes and you truly are a guest at your own party. After doing this for 12-plus years, the true highlight for me is making memorable connections with the clients and their guests. And over the years some have become really good friends. This past weekend, with a very strong team, our Sous Chef who plated the dishes, and the service team serving the guests, I had the pleasure of sitting down and making a wonderful connection with one of the guests there that evening in between courses. Ian and I bonded while watching the movie "Life Secret of Pets". This will definitely go down in the history books as one of my favourite highlights. My inner child truly came out when Ian and I could quote lines from the movie to each other :)

We have a special visitor, who has shared her expertise on a crumble topping for our gluten-free and Vegan Fruit Crisp which is one of the desserts served tonight at the SOLD-OUT Charity Dinner for Food Security. We are also excited that our own MLA, David C**n will be attending tonight's event. Thank you to all the volunteers from Fredericton Community Kitchens, St. Mary's Community Food Forest, and Stepping Stones Senior Centre.

08/18/2023

A sneak peek of one of the ingredients of our amuse-bouche for our gala event this coming Wednesday, May 31 for one of our VIP clients. This is our Apple Mint Caviar, which is gluten-free and vegan. Today Caleb learned how to make fruit caviar for the first time. Yes, we took it "OUT THERE" again :) We are so grateful to all our clients who continually allow us to "play" in our sandbox and create unique and diverse menus for their events.

05/24/2023

Thank you John Howard Society of Fredericton, so easy to be a part of this when organizations like yours continue to support our young people.

05/24/2023

We love clients that say, we have an upscale catering event at the Beaverbrook Art Gallery for up to 130 guests and want you to create a menu that is “OUT THERE” of passed hors d’oeuvres and a charcuterie board that guests can also enjoy. And we took it there. Some of the items pictured are:
• Figs dipped in dark chocolate with Smoked Pistachio & Crumble Gorgonzola Cheese
• Smoked Brie & Orange with Jalapeno Wild berry Chutney & Roasted Pecans
• Cheddar Cups with Avocado & Feta Mousse with Fried Kale and Dried Red Pepper Sprinkle

04/20/2023

What do you do when a client who is vegan, wants one of our famous sweet potato tea biscuits to go with one of our vegan and gluten-free soups, the Thai 3 Spice Squash Soup? You ask your kitchen Manager/Pastry Chef Krista Steeves to make a vegan Sweet Potato Tea Biscuit for the client, which will now be a new item on our menu. Speaking of menus, we are revamping ours to offer more vegan and gluten-free items, plus will be very influenced by other world cuisines. After having the opportunity to travel to Portugal, Spain, and Morocco a couple of months ago, I am so excited to share the cuisines from these countries.

03/21/2023

Did you know that we specialize in all dietary restrictions and allergies and offer beyond Thai food items? This past weekend, we had the opportunity to create a couple of vegan menus for some of our regular clients, from Vegan Flatbread with a pesto roasted garlic, spread topped with "bocconcini" cheese, roasted cherry tomatoes, and fresh basil, and finally finished off with a balsamic reduction drizzle. We also made a grilled vegetable flatbread with vegan "cheddar" cheese. Since all our sauces, toppings, pasta, bread, and flatbread are made in-house and from scratch, we can guarantee an item to be vegan, with no dairy, gluten-free, keto, no nuts, and no shellfish or any other dietary restriction. For a surprise birthday bash, the client is vegan and we did not want her to feel excluded while her guests had BBQ Pork Ribs, so we made her Vegan BBQ "Pork" Ribs.

03/17/2023

We want to wish everyone a Happy St. Patrick's Day and may you all feel the luck of the Irish.

03/08/2023

What an amazing International Women's Day!! Our team at LJW Catering had the opportunity to discuss future collaborative efforts with inspirational women from the team of My Ignite.

We are slowly preparing for a small intimate wedding reception in our private dining room tomorrow evening. We would also like to take this moment and thank everyone who ordered Holiday meals, once again we are SOLD OUT of our Turkey dinners.

We apologize for delaying the draw of what was behind the white door, due to our fully booked holiday catering season. There were some good guesses but not THE guess. We will hold our draw in early January. Happy Christmas to all.

11/14/2022

We would like to take this opportunity to THANK everyone who voted for LJW Catering in the 2022 Reader's Choice Awards in the Daily Gleaner. What a honour to be in the same category with long time established caterers like Edwina's Catering who has been around for over 27 years and Happy Baker, who has been around for many years as well. We are shocked and humbled we where even considered in this category.

Also a friendly reminder, Wednesday, November 16th, is the last day to "guess" what is behind the door. Please see the previous post for details.

11/01/2022

We are expanding!!! Guess what is behind this door? All correct answers will have their names put into a draw to win new items off our menu. Vegan & Gluten-free Pakoras with a Chimichurri Dip, Vegan Samosas with Mint Tamarind Chutney, and Philipino Bao Buns by Pinoy Point. We are going to announce the winners, yes the winners on Wednesday, November 16, 2022. We are now offering our food at Roticana Coffee Cafe on King Street and at Chess Piece Market. Did you know we are now offering some of our vegan and gluten-free items at these two locations, plus you should see all the other items that Roticana and Chess Piece Market offer as well?

10/13/2022

Thank you Roticana Coffee, for trusting us to offer our gluten-free and vegan soups. Below is a picture of our 3 Spice Squash Soup. Did you know that they have extended their hours to midnight on Friday and Saturday? Check them out at 520 King St, Fredericton, NB E3B 6G3. The coffee is amazing and the staff is spectacular! Take a look at their page to see what else they offer. Thank you for continuing to support local

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!! We did it AGAIN. We are sold out of our Turkey Dinners again this year, without even advertising!! Thank you to our regular clientele, new customers, and referrals. We were able to offer full Gluten-free Turkey Dinners, Keto, and Vegan "Turkey" Dinners this year. Even with the price increase of gas and food, we were able to keep our prices down this year, thanks to all the amazing catering events we have had so far. We are humbled and grateful for the Fredericton community in continually supporting local to all small businesses. What an amazing community we live in. We are also extending "our table" - when you have more than you need, do not build a higher wall, build a longer table. We will be providing Turkey Dinners to the Women in Transition housing. Please consider us for your Christmas Turkey Dinners. From all of us at LJW Catering, we are wishing everyone a safe and wonderful Thanksgiving weekend.

06/15/2022

She did it again!! Superstar, extraordinaire, and most importantly my friend, Janet Moser !!! She brought her A-game for the last couple of events, which required a one-of-a-kind charcuterie board to appeal to all different palates!! Thank you, thank you, thank you.

05/04/2022

What do you do when you are pulled in all directions with functions and need a top notch Charcuterie Board? You call on a friend/artist Moser. Thank you for your vision today. I know the clients will be blown away.

Our Story

LJW Catering/North Meets South Catering Group/Chef Rick is your non-traditional catering company; meaning instead of giving you a list of menu items you must decide upon, we offer to personally meet you to find out what you want catered for your special event. What do you want your guest to experience? What food best represent you? Are there any allergies or dietary restrictions? What is your budget for the event? Once knowing this information, we can create a menu just for you. We pride ourselves in supporting the local economy by buying local and fresh ingredients and creating a menu from items within season. You'd love to host a dinner party, in your home, at work or in a private hall, but when you think about all the work involved, it stops feeling fun, and starts to seem like one huge chore... By the time you've done all the work, your guests are satisfied, and you're ready to join them, it's time for them to go home! Instead of having to deal with all the preparations, and, even worse, all the clean-up, why not let LJW Catering/North Meets South Catering Group/Chef Rick, take care of the details, leaving you to enjoy the event with your guests! Select a minimum three course meal from our menu of Thai cuisine, or any other dish that you'd prefer, and we take care of the rest. From our fresh ingredients to our tasty recipes to our appetizing presentation, we will do everything from setting up, to cleaning up - all you have to do is enjoy the experience! Contact us at (506) 440-7354 or at [email protected] to get our menu, and to discuss the details of your next event, catered by our professional staff!
