Cooking with Claudine

I hate cooking ! But this girl is my inspiration ! Can’t wait to go grocery shopping and get to work !! Love all your recipes !!
It’s easy and very healthy !
Thank you Claudine :)

I love Sugar and Spice! We hired Claudine to cater a recruiting event for my graduate program and we were thrilled with her focus on fresh, local ingredients and simple, flavorful preparations. Claudine has a great sense of how to bring seasonal flavors to special events: she did a great job of listening to our needs for the event and she came up with a wonderful menu that knocked our recruits’ socks off. She is now our go-​to caterer for all of our events. I can’t say enough good things!

my wife hired claudine for my birthday party about a year ago, and the food was amazing. excellent variety, plenty of food, high quality, and service with a big smile.

Talk about multi-​talented. Not only is Claudine a great spin instructor at Cardio-​Tone in Noe Valley, her skills as a chef and caterer are quite impressive. We asked Claudine to cater a dinner party for 12 in our home for my wife’s 50^th birthday. She came to the first planning meeting with menu ideas based on local seasonal ingredients already printed up. As we talked through the menu options, she repeatedly hit on items that turned out to be my wife’s favorites.
The planning and logistics couldn’t have been easier. Claudine’s expertise and guidance in the weeks leading up to the party were invaluable. A few days before, she sampled the menu and suggested a couple of tweaks. I wisely left the changes to her professional judgment.
She showed up the evening of our dinner party with everything in hand. The appetizers, main meal, and dessert came off flawlessly. Everyone was impressed with the meal.
At the end of the party, I went to the kitchen and I couldn’t believe the state of things. It was cleaner than when Claudine and her assistant arrived!!! The garbage had been taken out, the floor swept, the dishwasher loaded… It was wonderful.
Claudine is smart, professional, good at what she does, and really just a lot of fun to work with.
If you have a special event to celebrate or just want to have a nice dinner party with friends and not have to worry about shopping, cooking, serving and cleaning up after, call Claudine at Sugar & Spice. I’m already thinking of the next one.

If you are looking for fresh, elegant, and healthy food using local ingredients, I wholeheartedly recommend Sugar and Spice. If you are looking for a caterer who will take into account your own desires and vision while stamping it with her own, elegant twist, Claudine is the caterer for you. I am the Project Coordinator for Go Folic! a project dedicated to improving the health of San Francisco women by increasing their intake of folate/​folic acid.
Due to the nature of our project, we have very specific needs when it comes to catered foods — not only must the dishes be fresh, healthy, and tasty, they must fit a particular nutritional profile, be easy to prepare and use readily available ingredients since we want to make the basic recipes available to event attendees.
We have used Claudine to cater two events so far, and plan to engage her services her for all of our catering needs in the future. Claudine is passionate about both health and building a healthy community. She listened carefully to our needs and exceeded all of our expectations in meeting them. The food was healthful, fresh, delicious and beautifully presented. We got nothing but rave reviews from those in attendance.

Sugar and Spice is THE caterer to hire if you are looking for delicious, healthy and local cuisine! I have been fortunate enough to attend several events catered by Sugar and Spice and every time I have been blown away! The owner, Claudine, is passionate about good food and it shows in her dishes. She makes amazing vegan dishes that a carnivore would kill for, but she doesn’t discriminate towards our meat-​eating friends either-​I still dream about the smoked salmon and crème fraîche appetizer that I had at one of her events.yuuuummm.
Claudine’s food is SO good that I couldn’t wait for another event to have some of her delectable delights-​I have Claudine come to my home every once in a while to cook a mouth-​watering meal for me and my family. Her price is right, and it’s the only way to get my family to eat healthy! It’s also great to have someone else do the work and be able to relax now and then!
Can’t go wrong with Sugar and Spice-​hire them for some guaranteed good grub!

If Ghandhi and Martha Stuart had a child. Okay, maybe not Ghandhi, but you get my point. I have known Claudine for a while now and consider her a dear friend. She puts love and devotion into her work and it shows. She specializes in vegetarian cuisine but can cook/​bake anything. Call her for your next event and I am sure you will never go through the trouble of planning your next dinner party again.

Sugar & Spice catering is heaven sent! Claudine (owner) is friendly, hard working and a master of yummy vegan treats! I am pretty sure she tries to buy local and organic when ever possible too! I am an often relapsing cheese addict but her cooking never leaves me feeling deprived. I had her cater a dinner party for my girl friends and me. The entire party was not composed of vegans but no one noticed or cared that we were missing meat. I am pretty sure she does cater for the meat eating population but why eat meat when you can eat healthier and more interesting foods without the icky stuff?!
For our dinner party she made an amazing layered bulgar wheat and squash dish, stuffed portabella mushrooms, a delicious salad and a vegan chocolate cake. The chocolate cake is to die for! It tastes better and more moist than any un-​vegan cake I have ever tasted!
Vegan gourmet cooking is the new black! So yum!
