PRIVATE EVENT REVIEW

from A.C.
"Kerra made custom lunchboxes for my Sip & Sew workshop, and guests loved them—it felt so personal. I especially appreciated how she explained where everything came from. Some of the ingredients were locally grown, which made it feel even more special. And the twine and name tags on each box? Such a thoughtful touch."

PRIVATE WORKSHOP REVIEWS 

Eventbrite: 

5 stars across the board from all past guests  ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

from L.R.
"My favorite part of the grazing board class? The end product! I left with a new skill and something I’ll use as a template when I host in the future. I learned a lot about what foods are in season—something I wasn’t familiar with, having only lived in California for a couple years. I also loved that everything was locally sourced. I got to learn about farms I’d actually buy from!"

from N.J.
"I really enjoyed learning the proper order to build the board—no more wondering where to put what! And the salami rose? That was such a fun trick. When I get to serve meat-eaters, I’ll totally use that. The freshness of the ingredients was amazing. My partner and I were going to save some for later, but we ended up finishing the whole thing—it just felt so good to eat. I also loved crushing the almonds and mixing them into the cream cheese—so delicious! The class wasn’t just educational, it was fun, meditative, and a great way to meet like-minded people. A lovely way to connect with the community."

FARM DINNER REVIEW

from K.M.

"Chef Kerra was amazing to work with and the event was perfect. Every guest loved each individual component of the meal including her locally sourced grilled steak, chicken, and portobello mushroom option for the vegan guests. The event could not have been more smooth. We can’t wait to collaborate again!"

4-DAY YOGA RETREAT | VACATION CHEF

from T.H.

"I hired Kerra as the chef for my 2025 yoga retreat in Ojai, and her work was truly an integral part of the experience. From the early planning stages through the final execution, she brought a kind, creative, and highly professional energy to everything she did.
Kerra thoughtfully designed a custom menu based on our shared vision, and my guests (and I!) were so impressed by the presentation, quality, and flavor of each dish. Her signature charcuterie boards were a major highlight! It’s clear she loves her craft and infuses every element of her cooking with genuine care and intention.

Beyond providing beautiful meals, she added meaningful touches that made the experience feel personal and special like inviting guests to forage herbs from the retreat property for the tablescape, sharing the stories behind her ingredients and the local farms they came from, and even welcoming a few enthusiastic guests into the kitchen during dessert prep.

Having Kerra as our in-house chef added so much warmth and heart to the retreat. It was an honor to collaborate with The Tide Table, and I highly recommend hiring Kerra for your private chef needs."
