About
Emily cooks vegetable-forward food that is not trying to be a substitute for anything. Grains, roasted vegetables, big salads that hold up on a table for an hour, and enough protein on the side for the people who want it.
She is a good fit for mixed groups where one or two people eat differently from everyone else, because she builds menus where nobody gets handed a separate sad plate.
Emily sources from Gulf Coast growers and adjusts the menu to what is actually in season rather than committing to a fixed list months out.

Services & Menus
Garden Table Dinner
Vegetable-forward cooking for a mixed table. Every menu is built vegetarian first with proteins added alongside, so the plant-based guests are eating a real dish rather than the same plate with something taken off it.
Emily shops from Gulf Coast growers and adjusts to what is actually in season that week.
- Grilled fish or chicken alongside $16.00 per person
- Extra mezze course $12.00 per person
- Second server $140.00 flat rate
Cuisine & Dietary
Specialties
Dietary accommodations
Every menu is vegetarian by default with proteins added on request, so plant-based guests are never eating a modified plate.
Share allergies during menu planning and Emily will design the menu around them from the start.
Services are cooked in your rental kitchen rather than a dedicated allergen-free facility, and nuts, seeds, and grains are used across most menus. Cross-contact is possible. Guests with severe allergies should discuss precautions with Emily before booking.
Half our group is vegan and half very much is not, and for once nobody got the sad side plate. Emily built one menu that worked for everyone and added fish on the side for the others. Smart cooking.
