Home Cooking by Elizabeth

Home Cooking by Elizabeth For 35 years, Personalising every Event & Cooking Classic Home Cooked Food to a 5 Star Standard. En Something I did a few years ago.
(34)

I am now celebrating 35 years as a Caterer, this has been very rewarding period of my life, giving me great satisfaction knowing every event is special. I generally bespoke every menu and, often producing recipes personally for my clients. I am the main influence of all my catering events and will be seen back of house in my apron! I am supported by my husband Jon and daughters, Stefanie, Lucinda

and Olivia who all have their own roles within the business. Lucinda works closely with me and has become a very important part of the business taking the next generation to a different level. She is an excellent cook, with a total natural ability giving great culinary artist flair. It seems a long time ago, starting just in my kitchen at home with my three small children, producing and selling my products at local indoor craft markets, it was during that time in my life I actually created my signature dishes, which I am still producing today, Homemade Pies, Quiches, various types of cakes. Over the past years I have always kept food ideas and styles up to date, my basic technique of home style cooking or as a great friend of mine always says “cooking from the heart” and using the best possible ingredients has always been the key to our success. I am also mindful using and supporting local produce and businesses. I am very fortunate to live in Great Bookham in Surrey and there is a wealth of great suppliers, with excellent butchers, a fish monger, a bakery and a greengrocer all of which are family businesses who care. I am now proud to present our Show Room, which is in Great Bookham, where potential clients can visit us, see our portfolio and more importantly plan part or all of their special catering event, however big or small, everyone is individual and special to us. The menus are only an idea to give a price structure, when you are browsing through them and everyone can be adapted. I eagerly write my own recipes and you will find many of my recipes on the website, I have also written for local magazines, occasionally broadcast on local radio and apparently pop up on cbeebies a children’s programme, as puzzled cook producing bizarre things from the kitchen! At the moment I am at the finishing stages of writing my cookery biography, which spans the last 30 years. I look forward to meeting you. Elizabeth Treliving

Dear Elizabeth,
I just want to send a huge thank you to you and your team for again providing some extraordinary food for 56 of us!

As you probably know the salmon and beef were pretty much finished,and as for deserts, by the time I got there only chocolate marquise and a small amount of meringue remained. My great nephews and nieces had the time of their life with multiple helpings of desert ! And that's perfect, a great memory for them.
Everyone was so complimentary about the food and also about the service and staff.
Well done, and thank you very much.
I enjoyed my day beyond any expectations and you helped with that.
Thank you

Hi Elizabeth

Just a quick note to say how pleased we were with the catering you provided on Sunday. Several people remarked on how good the food was, the setup and display were very well organised, and the whole event went very well indeed. Also a special note to the two ladies on duty that afternoon; they were very obliging, taking a great weight off our shoulders! A few people took away goodie bags with some leftovers – but at the end of the day there was very little wastage, and I have been enjoying the small amount of Black Forest Gateau not consumed on the day that came home with us!

All in all, a very enjoyable occasion, and we are very grateful for all your assistance in achieving this.

Many thanks again

Bernard

Many many thanks for everything yesterday. Food was delicious and everybody was very complimentary about it. Your staff were all very helpful and courteous. It was a pleasure to have them working in the house.

It was a shame that we could not have organised the weather to be kinder as people would have been able to circulate more but I don't think it detracted from the event.

Thank you again for everything.

We wanted to say a huge thank you for Saturday. The food was absolutely delicious and everyone was very complimentary on how good it was, I think a few people will be asking me for your contact details 🙂

Hi Elizabeth

See below review for my fathers funeral wake food that you did so beautifully:-

From the minute I spoke to Elizabeth about organising the catering for my father’s funeral I knew I had contacted the right caterers. Calm, efficient and supportive. I never had to chase and she was always one step ahead. The staff on the day of the event were delightful and the food looked beautiful and was delicious. I can not recommend Home Cooking more highly.

Best wishes

The menus are only an idea to give a price structure, when you are browsing through them and everyone can be adapted. I have now started travelling to different countries and joining in on works shops worldwide to develop different ideas and flavours constantly. As we caterers we don't just to keep to old favourites but introduce new ideas. Sitting in my Shop watching Bookham so many new menu ideas evolve. I eagerly write my own recipes and you will find many of my recipes on the website, I have also written for local magazines, occasionally broadcast on local radio and apparently pop up on cbeebies a children’s programme, as puzzled cook producing bizarre things from the kitchen!
