Growing up, Chef Aless spent summers with her grandparents on their vineyard in France where she learned about farm-to-table cooking and how fewer ingredients can mean more. Since then, Chef Aless has owned and operated a café in Manhattan for nearly 20 years. After closing due to high rent, Chef Aless began her own catering company sourcing only local food, organic when possible, and never using meat with antibiotics or hormones.

What Guests Are Saying About These Experiences With Chef Aless
Shea

Chef Aless is organized, professional, and an extremely talented cook. Her staff is also very kind and helpful, the whole team is great at what they do and I can't wait to work with them again.
Tracy

This Thanksgiving, I'm thankful for Chef Aless! My husband and I wanted to host Thanksgiving in NY, but since we were coming in from California and staying at an airbnb, we thought it would be a lot to have to cook everything. Enter Chef Aless. After reaching out, she responded right away and suggested a menu that sounded excellent. Communicating ahead of time was easy and seamless. Chef Aless delivered the food with simple instructions and everything looked great. She even brought extra decorations so we could present the Turkey beautifully to our guests. The food was delicious! My favorite was the truffle mashed potatoes but everything was yummy. Everyone that lives in NY asked for Chef Aless's number so they could use here in the future too. If you want to host a party with great food and no stress I definitely recommend reaching out to Chef Aless.

Absolutely delicious and amazing service! Chef Aless & her team came in for an event at our showroom last month. She and her team were extremely professional, easy to work with and everything was extremely well prepared. Delicious and beautiful!
Kate

Chef Aless is an incredible chef and an absolute pleasure to work with. Aless and her team have catered numerous events for us, with anywhere from 8 to 100 people and we could not be more happy with the food and service she provides. She creates a unique menu for us every time and the food is always creative, beautifully presented and delicious. Our guests always rave about the food. We go to a lot of catered parties in the Hamptons and have yet to come across a caterer who provides the same quality. This past summer my husband was diagnosed with chronic Lyme disease and he was put on a "clean" diet (no dairy, meat, processed foods, etc.) as part of his treatment. I struggled to make dishes that he enjoyed so I recruited Chef Aless. With all of his restrictions, she was able to make amazing dishes that our entire family could enjoy. I never thought lentils could taste so good! She is incredibly flexible and accommodating to any needs. We plan to use Aless for all of our events in the future. I highly recommend her for any event!
