People often see the food and the finished table.

What they don’t always see are the emails, creating menus, proposals, shopping lists, timelines, supplier orders, packing crates, loading cars, carrying boxes, setting tables and countless little decisions that happen beforehand.

For every few hours of service, there are usually days of preparation behind the scenes.

A little glimpse into the less glamorous side of being a caterer and private chef and honestly, one of my favourite parts of the job.

Yesterday’s garden party at the gorgeous Olden Garden 🌿

A menu inspired by some old Maison d’Être & Maison Bleue favourites: smoked salmon bagels, sausage rolls, seasonal tarts, summer salads, homemade cakes and plenty of Maison Earl Grey iced tea.

Thank you Gaëlle and Marius for having me cook for your 10 year wedding celebration. Such a lovely afternoon filled with sunshine, laughter and food. ✨
