About Savory Cook
Our philosophy is no compromise in cooking, always use the best ingredients and prepare them with respect. We do everything from scratch and use local sustainable sources in season whenever possible. We also make our own artisinal products that we bring to our special events. We never use pre-made food items in our cooking. We focus on private dinners with wine pairing, from 2 to 20 people. We can prepare a 3 course dinner or a multi-course tasting dinner with 10-12 dishes. Our team's combined skill set and experience allows us to offer a variety of different cuisines and put together a unique, customized menu designed to the occasion.
Special thanks to Kecia and Chen that helped plan, prepare and execute this launch of Savory Cook Special Event Catering. Savory cook couldn't have a better team
