I will gladly refer Wendy and her crew. I found Wendy's style of collaboration terrifically helpful for our needs. She shared a wealth of resources for flower arrangements and wedding cakes local to the area.
I especially appreciated hearing her ideas and menu options after she patiently listened to me describe my vision of food offerings.
Not only did Wendy partner with me as a business owner & chef, but she and her crew interacted with a number of family members and friends who acted as our coordinators before and during the event.
On the day of delivery, she and her crew effectively followed through with our agreed plan and responded to any unexpected needs during the event.
Their presence was essential in keeping the day's food service fluid as they worked together quietly in the background.
It was a pleasure having her and her crew in our midst during a joyful gathering of friends and family at our wedding.

Wendy's food is delicious, healthy and beautiful. Was lucky enough to attend one of her private dinners in the woods, amazing food, good company, great setting and a one of a kind sound bath to make it a perfect evening.

What a nourishing and unique experience in the Catskills! We basked in good company in a beautiful setting with courses of artistic, seasonal vegan dishes that were delightfully presented.
Chef Wendy is also Fine Artist Wendy. I have been in the arts all my life. I paint, and I taught at the School of Visual Arts in NYC. Over the past four years, I have been drawn to translate my cooking into artworks. I was thrilled with the results. I was hungry to learn more and more, and I sent myself back to the drawing board and recreated my menu to reflect my passion for color and design. I want everyone to love food as much as they are savoring the plating and flavor.
