Meet Chef Annette

Welcome In!

Welcome

I cook everything the way I believe food should be made: from scratch, with fresh ingredients, and without processed or pre-packaged shortcuts. That kind of quality takes time and craftsmanship, and my pricing reflects that commitment. You're not just ordering food--you're choosing homemade dishes prepared with care from start to finish. Click "Place Order" to jump over to Hotplate. Simply add your cell number so you can get notified when I open up ordering.

Homemade Sauce

Marinara Sauce

$15 - Quart

A slow-simmered, homemade marinara crafted with carefully selected San Marzano tomatoes, fresh aromatics, and olive oil. Balanced, rich, and deeply flavorful without being heavily salted. You can add more salt in but you can't take it out! This sauce is the foundation of many of my Italian dishes. Perfect for pasta, meatballs, bread-dipping and more! Made in small batches and sold by the quart.  Also sold in 2-cup containers for 8.50.

Alfredo Sauce

$15 - Quart

Creamy, scratch-made Alfredo sauce crafted with fresh garlic, butter, olive oil, cream, and shaved and grated parmesan. Delicious drizzled over vegetables, meatballs, chicken, or shrimp; toss with pasta or add to anything that calls for a rich, creamy sauce. This homemade sauce arrives "firm" in quart size containers. This is normal and it's easy to reheat. Freezing is not recommended, as it  may affect the texture.


Salad

Caesar Salad

$55

approx. 10-12 servings. In order to prevent soggy lettuce and croutons, each Caesar salad is sold as a kit. Tray will have chopped romaine lettuce, cracked pepper, and thinly sliced red onion. Simply stir in the provided creamy house-made Caesar dressing, cheeses, and crunchy house-made croutons. It's highly recommended that you add "all" of the provided ingredients for a truly balanced Caesar salad.
