Chef Mumsie

What an outstanding caterer! Not only does she have a real personal touch that rings from every interaction you have with her, but she works hard to make sure you don’t need to worry about anything to do with food — not just the prep, but making sure it’s presented to guests in a convenient and accessible way. Her food is delicious and she works with you to customize it to your needs and desires.
Highly recommended and truly a sweet and kind person, as was everyone she works with.

I highly recommend Chef Mumsie. She Catered a wine and food event in San Juan Capistrano at Hamilton Oaks Winery. All I can say is wow! She’s definitely on fire! She’s beyond dynamic and her energy translates soulfully into her food. She’s a visionary with cooking, making it fun yet extremely appetizing. I especially loved the endive shooters however everything was delicious and made with attentive detail. Her staff is top notch, all of her team represents consummate hospitality at high degree. Her timing and flow is precision perfect with delectable flavors that linger on the palate especially with a fine glass of wine. I enjoyed watching Chef Mumsie cook in stiletto’s with an awesome Chef hat on running the show with her team like a pro! I can’t wait to have her for my next big event, I absolutely enjoyed working with Chef Mumsie and I highly recommend her for all your catering needs. This Chef is a mover and a shaker and is going places, I say pay attention and get on board the Chef Mumsie train for your next big venue…

I was not sure what to expect when Chef Mumsie was set to cater a small meal for our family. All I knew about her was her prestigious reputation for creating unique and delicious meals.
As soon as I took my first bite, I was already in love! Everything melted in my mouth from start to finish. The food was fresh and highest quality. Her salmon really tasted the way a salmon should taste and had no idea till now what I’d been missing out on! Her German chocolate cake was hands down the best part of the meal – so moist and so decadent.
All the courses, including her tasty, refreshing Ginger Lemon tea, made me feel like I was being treated to 5 star, gourmet restaurant meal for a celebrity or royal, but at the same time, had a warm, nostalgic quality that reminded me of food prepared from home, like Grandma would make.
Would definitely order from her again to try everything else on her menu I missed, if not just to have her German Chocolate cake again! Five starts!

I highly recommend Chef Mumsie for a wedding that needs catering or for any event that involves food and service.
It is hard to describe the quality of good food other than to say that it was delicious and all the guests were raving about it. Appetizers included incredible onion pastry puffs that were the talk of more than one conversation I had that night. Salad was also a big hit, not something one usually expects to say about salad. The entrée was talked, posted, and blogged about. Beautiful flatware and table settings were used, and the service was light-​footed, courteous, and professional. We felt we were in a 5-​star hotel, not our own backyard (which is where we actually were).
Aside from all this, I want to mention how impressed we were with the hard work that was so evident. Chef Mumsie’s staff was present from 2pm on toward 11pm and never stopped moving for a second. We were promised that we would not have to worry about a single event during the day and that was exactly what happened. Without even realizing that we had left so much in the hands of our caterers, we passed the night catching up with old friends, connecting people, taking photos, and meeting each other’s friends from far off — never once did we have to stop to check up on any details of any kind. Chef Mumsie seemed to be in eight places at once at any moment, and everything took care of itself as if by magic.
There were no hidden charges, unexpected twists, or demands for attention.
We are very impressed and grateful for their efforts in feeding and satisfying 80+ people in a somewhat confined space — done with grace, speed, and invisibility.. and deliciousness!
