Hosting at home but don’t want to cook? We offer private chef services. Don’t want to cook ever, period? We offer personal chef and meal prep services.

Want to learn to cook? We can teach you! We offer in-person classes and teach from the Sur La Table Culinary Classroom at Bayshore Town Center in Glendale, Wisconsin.

The Lemonyay! kitchen is located in Mequon, Wisconsin. Amanda and her team serve clients throughout Wisconsin and the Chicagoland area. Planning a party outside that region? Reach out—we’ll see what we can do to make it happen!

Our company hosts numerous events at our office and Lemonyay is one of our go to vendors! Amanda is fabulous to work with and extremely reliable. She makes planning food for these events easy, and the creativity in creating a menu is unmatched and makes the food stand out from your average offerings. From her beautiful charcuterie platters to the tasty galettes, I can’t recommend Lemonyay enough!

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes. I wear both hats (and a very cute apron).

    As a private chef, I create multi-course meals or weekly dishes right in your kitchen.

    As a caterer, I feed your crew at events, drop-off style or full-service, depending on your vibe.

  • The sooner, the better—two to four weeks is ideal, depending on the size of your event. If you’re feeling spontaneous and I’m free? I love a little culinary improv. Rush orders will incur a 20% fee.

  • 100%. Food should feel good. I have lots of experience making meals that are gluten-free, dairy-free, and full of joy. Just let me know what you need; however, please be aware that the Lemonyay! The kitchen is not strictly gluten-free or allergen-free.
