Tis’ the season for dinner parties! Tried out a new recipe for this one last night: artichoke + mascarpone agnolotti with lemon zest, brown butter, sage and hazelnuts.. it was a hit and will be added to the winter menus!
Needed to post snaps of the table scape & menu because it was just so beautiful and festive. Love a good client-chef collaboration when it comes to aesthetic and menu planning!
Last but not least: the almond torte. She’s a keeper, always has been and always will be. Tastes like a rainbow cookie, just without all of the flour and refined sugar. Just almonds, eggs, maple syrup and almond extract! And of course some dark chocolate chips and fresh raspberry sauce 👩🏻‍🍳

A very special birthday dinner for two this evening ✨

All 👏🏼 of 👏🏼 the 👏🏼 SIDES!
A glimpse into todays menu for a bi-weekly client. During a consultation a common question that I get asked is how many and which meals will I prepare in a session, to which I reply “well why don’t you tell me what you find you need the most help with?” Private chef services are the exact opposite of what you would find in something like a meal prep service — these menus are customized to your specific needs and wants. Todays client needed help with side dishes for herself and her family, wanting to handle the mains on her own (Instapot, crockpot, sheet pan dinners anyone?!). This structure works for her because she gets to spend less time in the kitchen but also saves some 💰 by eliminating the quantity of dishes she needs a chef to prepare. I try to make my private chef service as accessible and as budget friend as possible! DM me if you think this service might be right for you and your family ✨

Spotlight on this dinner party for 20ish guests - a post Christmas celebration for out of town family friends! This was a solid menu, collaboratively put together by the hosts and I. Here are some snaps of the pasta & main course 🍽️ . Homemade Braised Short Rib Ravioli with Crisp Wild Mushrooms + Sage . Horseradish Crusted Prime Rib, Petit Hasselback Potatoes + Garlicky broccolini & asparagus #nycprivatechef #nyccatering #njprivatechef #njcatering

#Repost @caralanzi with @repostapp ・・・ Garden to Table cooking demo today @wiesnerbrosnursery where I'll be cooking up some spring and summer favorites using produce you can grow in your very own garden!! Starts at 1PM. Stop in and see me!

I knew I would foul it up somehow.. here's the FULL VERSION of the veggie lasagna how-to. Enjoy! . . . . My friends, family and clients have all expressed how much they love my Zucchini & Eggplant Lasagna, and since I'm such a nice person I made a little how-to video to share with all of you 😆. It's my first video so I apologize for the AWFUL camera work and shaky hand (it's hard to slice, chop and stir with a phone in one hand and a knife in the other.) 😂 I hope this video inspires you to get in your kitchen & get cooking - because that's where health starts! 😊👩🏽‍🍳🍆🍅🍝🍴 #firsttimevideo #simplyhonestkitchen #privatechef #caterer #vegan #vegetarian #sieats #statenisland #newjersey #cookinginstructor
