Culinary Innovations

Chef Stiver and his team did a fantastic job cooking for 19 of us women during a grad school reunion weekend. It was a rainy night so we ended up all being inside my open concept living/​dining/​kitchen area drinking wine, chatting etc. while Chef and his team prepped in the kitchen. They handled the noise and chaos with aplomb. Everyone was blown away by the food and we were so grateful not to have a huge mess to clean up after all the festivities. Would highly recommend Culinary Innovations!!!

Regularly attending and hosting small private dinner parties for friends and clients, I have an appreciation for everything that can go right — and everything that can go wrong.
If you’ve ever attended a dinner where there was an hour between courses, they ran out of food, or the pairings weren’t up to par — it lends to a true enlightening experience when EVERYTHING GOES RIGHT.
Culinary Innovations absolutely hit it out of the park at the Summer Wine Pairing dinner I attended last night. The private dinner party scene requires equal parts chef, artist, and public speaker — and Andrew Stiver was in his element for all three.
Tempting presentations that almost made you hesitate to tuck into the dishes (ALMOST). Incredible combinations of flavors which led me leaning back in my chair, Chef Stiver’s team truly knows their way around the private dinner party scene.
If I could give 6 stars, I would. Well done Chef Stiver

We hired Chef Andrew to prepare a four-​course dinner with wine pairings for a dinner party of 10. Everything was fantastic. He created some unique dishes that our guests really enjoyed and were raving about even after he left. The service was wonderful. Our server and bartender, Nathan, was very knowledgeable about the wines (and wine in general). I can’t wait for my next event catered by Chef Andrew.

I hired chef Andrew for a small gathering for my friend’s birthday. I wanted interesting small plates that could be enjoyed without the formality of a sit down dinner. I was really impressed how chef Andrew prepared the food in my kitched with his own dishes and prep, and served the items fresh right off the stove. The selections were an amazing range for my vegan friends to the carnivores and were all gluten free. The plates were all interesting and delishous, setups were included, and he cleaned the kitchen and was gone without us hardly noticing. Excellend experience.

Chef Andrew catered a party for me this weekend and everything was absolutely amazing. The guests raved about his cooking. The food was inventive and delicious– white asparagus soup, handmade ravioli, stuffed dates… I could go on and on. Reasonably priced too! Highly recommend and would use again.

I used Culinary Innovations for several months of catering for my office. The chief not only made all the food, but also delivered it and set it up to ensure the food was perfect! Temperature and presentation is defiantly a perk.
They catered a wide range of foods. Being a «foodie» myself, it was apparent that fresh ingredients were always used– fresh veggies and fresh herbs. The offices favorite dishes were the pasta dishes– the pasta and sauces are home made and always paired with a fresh salad with all of the fixings. My only tip is to over order, because people always come back for seconds.
