We had a small group and Lori kept us all engaged. There were plenty of tasks for each of us, but not overwhelming. We learned new skills along the way!

Chef Lori was a pleasure to meet. The only thing better than the conversation was the food! The Thai lettuce wraps were delicious and I could eat a bunch of them. If you are paying attention to your health but don't want to sacrifice on flavor then please take a class with Chef Lori. I would definitely bring my friends with to see what else she comes up with for a menu!

I have happily used Lori Terry for the last 10+ years for dinner parties, home food delivery and in home chef services. Her food is amazing. Never had a plate that wasnвЂ™t delicious. She is always professional and easy to work with. SheвЂ™s clean and organized in the kitchen and adds amazing extra touches to any dinner party. Lori comes up with great menu ideas and is great at accommodating any dietary restrictions/needs. CouldnвЂ™t be more pleased with her food and services!!!

Chef Lori is wonderful! She is so easy to work with from start to finish. While she offers incredible menu suggestions, she also is completely flexible in customizing or creating a menu based on your preferences and dietary restrictions. We have been lucky enough to have Chef Lori come to our place a few times. She has cooked for us without us doing a thing and she has also engaged us in the cooking process to make it more of a hands on cooking class. She brings everything she needs and only buys the highest quality ingredients. Her food is delicious and we always have leftovers that we are able to enjoy for several days. She also makes delicious giardinera that is a must try! You will love Chef Lori and her incredible culinary creations!

Lori came to my rescue for a last minute holiday party- made an array of fabulous heavy appetizers, hot and cold- not only delivered them but took the time to plate them for me as well while giving instructions for serving. Just a few of the fabulous bites we enjoyed: Goat Cheese stuffed dates, Mahi Mahi taco cups and the Smoked mac n cheese bites. The food was delicious and her service was spectacular!

Our busy family loves the home cooked delicious meals made each week by Lori. We are always running between after school activities and it is nice to put a healthy meal on the table for all to enjoy. The cooking parties have become a favorite evening amoungst the moms to learn a few new meals and techniques. We have used Lori for years and she continues to bring new bright ideas to the table and is always willing to try recipes that I find but donвЂ™t have time to prepare.

Lori and her team were outstanding!! From the time they arrived to the time the event ended, they were as professional as any catering company I have experienced. The food was excellent and the meticulous clean up job made it look like they were never in your home. I highly recommend Lori to cater an event in your home.

In our line of business entertaining clients we have used many many caterers. Chef Lori stands out as one of the best. Her smooth process of providing food options and then tweaking to your preference, attention to detail, service, plate presentation, and cleanliness makes it extra special for us and for our clients.
