After I closed Noel's Kitchen, I started Sarah's and named it after my daughter Sarah Robyn. She is my inspiration. This company specializes in a Cajun, Creole, French, West Indian, Southern, BBQ, Latin, & Classic American Cuisines that offers dishes that can be eaten for Breakfast, Lunch, Brunch, & Dinner. I think the end results is the best for me. I love it when my clients are completely satisfied and I see that smile and look of "Thank You" on their face. Sometimes, It's a look of great relief. These events are extremely important and stressful to my clients so I take each individual contract just as important. The pay is good too. LOL!!!

Voted - Top Pro 2015-2016-2017-2018-2019-2020-2021-2022-2023 Thank you, Thumbtack! I have been a professional chef for over 30 years, former chef at Canyon Ranch ,cooked for presidents and celebrities across the country. Right now I am focusing on my private chef business here in Connecticut where I specialize small intimate dinner parties. You can visit Cheflaurie website for more information as well as sample menus. Pricing is based on the menu items you choose. For example, Price for a basic 3 course dinner of a simple salad, pasta entree and dessert, start at $125.00 per person. Whether it is a couple celebrating a special occasion or a dinner party with girlfriends, I love to develop creative menus for each party using local and seasonal ingredients that match both the tastes and dietary needs of my clients. Many of the ingredients from own organic garden. Being highly trained in several types of cuisine, I can easily create diverse and delicious menus for you and your guests, no matter the occasion. I talk with my clients in an initial consultation to develop the theme and menu for the party, discuss preferences (likes, dislikes), any allergies, dietary needs or restrictions, and a budget. Once these items are reviewed and decided upon, I will come visit the space where your party will take place and meet you, the client! I am there not only to familiarize myself with the equipment, set-up, and aesthetic of your space, but also to answer any questions you may have. On the day of the party, I typically will arrive an hour before your guests to set-up. The party will begin and end on your time. One of the best things about the work that I do is meeting new people! I love cooking and entertaining, of course, as well as being creative and making others happy. Just as I love to teach and create environments of wellness and happiness surrounding delicious food and friends, it is working with clients - new and old - that helps to challenge and expand my culinary background and experience. Even after years and years of experimenting in the kitchen, there is still so much to learn from new people, flavors, and needs. My kitchen has always been a social space for me and my family: a fun, warm, and inviting space to try new things and also celebrate traditions. As a mother, I am used to kids running around and pets at my feet, and as a culinary professional, I am meticulous, clean, and organized. In my kitchen, I focus on creating an environment where happiness and wellness can complement one another and flourish.
