About
I am Suzanne Nicholas, the Chef/Owner of a personal chef business for more than nine years. As a self-trained, versatile, and creative chef, I excel in using natural, whole-foods for preparing nutritious and delicious meals. I specialize in various cuisines, such as Italian, Indian, Korean, Mediterranean, and more. Moreover, I have mastered working with clients having special diets, often suggesting creative and wholesome substitutes for restoring the appeal of their favorite meals.Cooking is my passion, and instructing is my forte. While teaching my personal chef clients over the years, I have discovered my innate ability to communicate cooking techniques effortlessly. Now, I intend to focus more on teaching as a part of my work. I have a friendly and approachable demeanor, which helps me to work collaboratively with my clients to identify their cooking goals and support them sustainably. My dedication means that I don't leave my clients till they feel confident about their newly-acquired cooking skills.

I was looking to host a housewarming BBQ event for a group of 40 people and needed catering services within my limited budget. I submitted a catering request on CrackerJack, unsure if any caterer would work within my budget. Fortunately, Suzanne and a couple of other caterers responded to my request. However, Suzanne was the only one willing to adjust the menu to meet my budget requirement. She communicated with me consistently leading up to the event date, seeking my input and incorporating my requests. Not only that, she even infused spices from my home country and paid special attention to creating an authentic dish from Ethiopia. My guests were really pleased with the delicious and flavorful food, with compliments flowing throughout the night. I would definitely hire Suzanne's service again for future events and would recommend her to anyone looking for a caterer. It was truly a pleasure working with her!

We engaged the services of Suzanne from Food Matters to cater for our large formal Ladies' Tea, hosting 80 guests. Working with her was an absolute delight throughout the entire process. The menu selection process was a breeze, as Suzanne was very accommodating and even supplied our Tea Team with tastings, which we were thrilled about! Her professionalism and excellent food safety knowledge was greatly appreciated. We thoroughly enjoyed having Suzanne on board, and our guests have not stopped raving about her incredible food. We even received hand-written notes from guests expressing their gratitude for the delicious cuisine. Suzanne's savory menu was diverse, interesting and absolutely delicious, making it difficult for our dessert to compete! Finally, her pricing was extremely reasonable, and we would certainly use her catering services again in the future, as evidenced by some guests who requested her business cards.

Suzanne is an excellent culinary expert and a pleasure to collaborate with. She provided us with an extraordinary assortment of vegan dinners during our initial week, which were truly top-notch. Her cuisine is delectable, innovative, and satisfying.

Suzanne's catering for our luncheon was exceptional - the food was scrumptious, beautifully arranged, and delivered in perfect condition and on schedule. Communicating with her, both via email and phone, was delightful. It's clear that she's an accomplished and imaginative caterer with a strong sense of professionalism.

Suzanne Nicholas provided a delectable informal buffet-style meal comprising of lasagna, salad, and desserts. Additionally, she delivered and set up the food. I must say, the food was scrumptious, and Suzanne was consistently courteous and amiable while dealing with me. I would strongly suggest her services to others since her fees were also very modest.
