Amanda has exceeded expectations every time my family has enjoyed her dishes over the years; ranging from charcuterie and brunch boards to a bountiful Thanksgiving spread.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Amanda / Lemonyay to host an intimate 8-course dinner with wine pairings for 10 executive guests in our home— and I honestly don’t have enough superlatives to describe the experience. From the planning stages to the final course, everything was seamless, stunning and delicious. 

Amanda made the planning effortless. She is professional, responsive, and full of creative ideas. She took the time to understand our preferences and vision, and it all came together so naturally. 

On the night of the dinner, she brought not just remarkable food, but a magnetic energy that truly made the evening special. As she described each course, her passion for her craft was palpable and my guests commented that her enthusiasm added an extra layer of joy to an already stunning meal.

And the food—wow. Every single course was a hit: flawlessly executed and bursting with flavors that were vibrant, unique and perfectly balanced. The wine pairings elevated each dish and added a lovely rhythm to the evening. It wasn’t just dinner—it was a full culinary journey that felt like a fine dining experience, right in the comfort of our own home.

Even the next night, as we sat down for dinner at a local steakhouse, our colleagues were still talking about Amanda’s food. That says it all. If you’re looking for a personalized, unforgettable culinary experience that combines incredible food with warmth, professionalism, and heart, Amanda is the one. I cannot recommend her highly enough. I can’t wait to plan the next one!
