A Note from Emili

As the owner and founder of Whatever Works Catering, my passion for food and creating unforgettable events stems from my upbringing. Growing up in a home where family meals were always a highlight, I learned the power of food to bring people together. My Italian mother, a culinary maestro, taught me the value of transforming simple ingredients into extraordinary dishes. My father, always the life of the party, instilled in me the importance of creating an atmosphere where everyone feels comfortable and celebrated.

My journey in the culinary world began with hands-on experience in a commercial kitchen, where I honed my skills under the guidance of a mentor who shared my passion for creating culinary magic. Over time, my passion has grown into what Whatever Works Catering is today. My goal is to bring joy and delight to every event, transforming ordinary meals into gourmet experiences that leave a lasting impression.
