Professional Chef Services
Meal Prep/Catering and Banquets/Special Occasions

     As many of you already know, I’m no longer in the restaurant — but I’m absolutely still in business and cooking more than ever. I’ve moved my culinary work to the beautiful Desert Rose Bahá’í Institute, conveniently located in Eloy, where I now run the commercial kitchen.

 

     From this new home base, I’m offering meal prep, catering, and banquet services for retreats, workshops, and special events. Desert Rose has an incredible ballroom, a large meeting hall, apartments, a dormitory, RV boondocking, and peaceful desert surroundings that make every gathering feel special.

 

    I’d love for you to come visit, take a look around, and see what we’re building here. Whether you’re planning an event or just want to reconnect, you’re always welcome at Desert Rose.

1950 West William Sears Drive   Eloy, AZ  85131
