What Clients Are Saying

  • “Chef Alicia prepared a private, in-home 35th birthday dinner for my wife and her parents and it was exactly what we wanted. Her food was excellent, the presentation was dynamite, and she was super professional throughout. Everything was hot too, which is always something that bugs my wife and me at restaurants. If you're looking for sit-down catering for a private event, look no further.”

    — Anthony

  • “I recently had the opportunity to have Copper & Thyme cater a special event in my home for 50 people. Alicia came highly recommended by a colleague who understood this event called for a chef who could create unique recipes from locally sourced ingredients. Her ability to connect with local farmers and producers allowed her a range of possibilities in coming up with a delightful array of small bites and sweet treats just right for the afternoon affair. From start to finish when the last spoon was dried and put away, she had all under complete and comfortable control - allowing me the time to enjoy guests and food!”

    — Margaret

  • “I had the pleasure of hiring Alicia for my 15th wedding anniversary, and it was an absolute delight! From an exquisite first course to a decadent dessert, every dish of our five-course meal was a masterpiece. Alicia’s attention to detail, creativity, and use of fresh, high-quality ingredients truly elevated our dining experience and special occasion. Her culinary expertise was evident with every bite. I highly recommend her for anyone looking to add a touch of culinary magic to their celebrations and I can’t recommend Copper & Thyme enough.”

    — Bryn

  • "Chef Alicia delivered a fantastic three-course meal that hit all the right notes. The short rib bolognese with homemade pasta was rich and deeply satisfying, with a perfect balance of flavors that made it feel both comforting and elevated. The tiramisu was a standout—light, creamy, and not overly sweet, a flawless finish to the evening. Each dish felt thoughtful and well-executed without being overcomplicated. A truly enjoyable dining experience!"
