CATERING SERVICES
LET TASTE TUTOR MAKE IT FOR A BUNCH OF Y’ALL!
Having a function, a baby shower, a wang dang doodle, a gathering of souls? We'll make food for y’all and bring it to your venue. Choose from a variety of primarily Soul Food, Gullah - Geechee, Creole - Cajun, West Indian - Caribbean, and Yoruba (Nigeria) Dishes. There are some other cuisines sprinkled in as well! Once you’ve decided let’s do this thing! If you don’t see what you are looking for, we can create a custom menu for you. 😊
HOW IT WORKS:
Check out the sample menus items. You’ll be able to choose from Southern Soul Food, Caribbean, and Nigerian dishes or we can customize a menu to your liking.
Fill out the catering service questionnaire, tell me your food budget, catering style, and schedule your initial consultation (optional).
Then we’ll contact you, figure out what you want to eat, and make food for you and all your guests!
