Private Events
Whether it be a casual meal with friends and family, a small celebratory event, weekend retreat, vacation stay, cooking classes or a party in the woods, let me make a memorable meal for you and your loved ones. Menus will be created together; anything from finger food, family style buffet to just desserts, all while prioritizing the use of ingredients produced from local farms and ranches. I will shop, cook and clean up, allowing you to have more time to enjoy yourself and your guests

Camp Catering
Although nostalgic, camp food doesn’t always have to be hotdogs & beans. Camp catering brings an ease to camping with elevated, delicious meals to your trip - and the best thing to come back to after spending all day hiking or out on the lake. With a fully equipped camp kitchen and a love for the outdoors, I can bring your camping trips to a next level with memorable meals enjoyed around the campfire. Catering can be for just one meal (depending on location) or the entirety of the trip - always up for an adventure

Meal Prep
Many of our lives are busy and finding the time to cook can be difficult… this is where I can help. After getting to know you and your food preferences, I will provide diverse menus curated each week, designed to you & your family’s needs. I will shop for ingredients, sourced from local and organic purveyors as much as possible, and prepare the meals in my home kitchen. Meals will be packed in containers (that you supply), labeled and delivered to your door. Only servicing southern Sonoma County & Marin County (north and west of San Rafael).
Lena has been our family's personal chef for over two years, and her weekly presence in our kitchen has enabled our family to focus on what matters most at mealtimes - each other. Two working parents and two active kids can be a recipe for fast food and cold marinara poured over pasta eaten standing at the counter. But for us, knowing that we will arrive home to fresh, thoughtfully-prepared meals, allows us to sit down, dig in, and focus on conversation. Eating well during the week even has us cooking more on the weekends. Lena has become an indispensable part of our family, and our kids love to pitch in when they are home or share recipes or pictures of what they are whipping up.

Lena is an amazing chef and so great to work with on a weekly basis. She makes absolutely delicious food and delivers it right to you. She works with your preferences and/or allergies to make the food just perfect. She makes everything from scratch and with love. I honestly cannot say enough good things about her and her cooking. Start working with her as soon as you can, it will change your life.
