Food Catered by Chef Dre Verner

Hello!
My name is Andrea; I am a solo mom and budding culinary entrepreneur. I can usually be found in my kitchen creating new recipes as one of my greatest passions in life is FOOD. My love for food is inspired by the people in my community and different cultures around the world. One of my favorite activities is hosting parties for any occasion, which could be the reason I became a chef. After my mother passed away from cancer, I started researching how we can use food, not only to make our taste buds dance, but also use it as a way to heal our bodies and prevent diseases. The ingredients I choose will always be as close to its natural state as possible that also fill your body with as many nutrients it craves. I offer a different option to eating healthy, no diets, no counting, just honest ingredients. I take your favorite classic meals and transform them into something your body will thank you for.
