Thyme at the Table—Personal Culinary Services There are two words that can strike fear in the heart of even the bravest of cooks. You know them. You might even run from them. Many of us do. Dinner party. There we’ve said it. That wasn’t so bad, was it? Are you still there? We know that entertaining often brings everyone to the table but the host. We believe this is a recipe for burn out. At typical dinner parties, the host runs laps between the kitchen and his or her guests all night long. This approach is exhausting and not terribly satisfying. At Aubergines and Olives, we are pleased to offer Thyme at the Table, a personal culinary service that nourishes friends and family along with their hosts. Our culinary services allow our clients to enjoy their friends and family while we focus on all the details that make intimate gatherings warm, elegant, nourishing and memorable. Kimberly Stowe, our personal chef, trained at the Culinary Institute of America, will sit down with you to discuss your food and entertaining preferences. We then help you select a delicious, well-paired menu that reflects your personal tastes and style from casual patio or buffet-style to formal seated dining. Aubergines and Olives’ Thyme at the Table takes it from there. We handle the grocery shopping, gourmet food preparation, table design and staging of the entertaining spaces, artful food presentation, gracious serving, and (perhaps best of all) clean up. Our clients often wonder what they are supposed to do. Although it sounds like a radical idea, we reply “enjoy your family and friends!” For our persistent clients, we also recommend a spa treatment or shopping spree beforehand! We encourage you to call us for a consultation before your next dinner party, family celebration or holiday gathering. You’ll be glad you did!
