“We consider Fern’s cooking to be one of our luckiest finds of life.


A year ago, wanting something unique to celebrate our new home, we contacted Fern to cook for a small family gathering in our yard.  We’d never hired a chef before and had no idea what to expect.

The menu options she presented were next level. And when we were all served our dishes fresh from the stove and grill we were simply blown away.  This wasn’t just a home cooked meal. This was a high end, fine dining experience.

In fact, we were so smitten that we planned our wedding around Fern’s cooking. And when our guests reminisce about that day, the first thing they remember is the food.”

  • “A blend of flavor and fun, Fernanda’s cooking is some of the best cooking I’ve ever had. She perfectly crafts a dish that is not only delicious to taste but also leaves you eagerly anticipating the next bite.”

  • “We met Fernanda years ago at her restaurant in Newton (which quickly became our favorite and we were frequent customers!). She was always the best, friendliest and of course an amazing chef. I was throwing a birthday party for my mom and when I thought who could we have cook for us? She was the first person I thought of. We were so excited she was available. Her food continues to be phenomenal, the best blend of spices and the freshest ingredients. We will use her for all of our events!”

  • "Fernanda is not only an incredible cook with a truly unique crowd-pleasing palate, but she's also a fantastic entertainer and person to be with. We spent a week with her and it was like having another member of the family, albeit one with a true cooking superpower."

“We threw a party for 15 friends. Fernanda brought over the ingredients and cooked everything on-site. She served a multicourse meal of apps, entrees, and dessert. Fernanda was incredibly nice to work with, and the food was UNBELIEVABLE. As good or better than the best food I’ve ever had at a restaurant, here or in Manhattan. She left the kitchen neat and clean.”
