Culinary Consulting
“Rachel was extremely helpful in collaborating with the internal team to create a creative partnership in the dishes we developed. She was instrumental in helping bring priority meat cuts to life in full dishes with sides to compliment the meat, and overall helped to create a balanced and exciting menu for 2026. Rachel is easy to work with, and is willing to join in the conversation and offer perspective to ensure each dish hits the target audience and is delicious. In the event the recipe needs a little tweaking, she was more than willing to find the right adjustment.”

“If you’re serious - or even just enthusiastic - about home cooking and entertaining, Sweetie Pie Culinary will help you feel like a pro in the kitchen. I’ve always been obsessed with pizza and have a couple of decades of amaeur cooking under my belt, but i’d never worked with dough before. I was too intimidated and afraid of wasting ingredients. So, i hired chef rachel to help me develop a custom signature pizza dough and teach me how to make it from scratch.
She Came prepared With several ideas, and our session was incredibly informative and so much fun. Rachel is wonderfully down to earth and knows how to make you feel confident in the kitchen. Since working with her I’ve made at least fifty pizzas - and they keep getting better every time, thanks to her guidance. If you love to cook or bake, consider Sweetie Pie Culinary an essential investment to take your skills to the next level!”

“Chef Rachel is more than a cook, she is a culinary artist; she compiles thoughtful recipes that are not only nutritious and flavorful but also visually beautiful. With a background in recipe development featuring spices from around the world, she instructed a private class with me and Taught me how to make laksa (an aromatic malaysian coconut curry noodle soup) from scratch. She sourced the ingredients from a local Asian food market, presented a recipe card to keep, and worked with me to follow it step by step. I now feel confident recreating this recipe for my family and am grateful for rachel’s fantastic instruction every time i make it. I keep the recipe pinned to my fridge!”

We couldn’t have asked for a better catering experience than Rachel with Sweetie Pie for our backyard Summer Wedding. From the very beginning, she was incredibly responsive, professional, flexible, and genuinely invested in making our day special.
Prior to the big day, Rachel presented us with meal options that we were able to tailor to our needs and the whole process was so seamless and personalized. It was so important to us to treat our guests to great food, and Rachel delivered. Everything was absolutely amazing from the appetizers, to steak dinner, to an epic cake! — All of her food was fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor.
