40th Anniversary Party 10-01-2011

I know I have said this many times, but the best part of my job is doing surprise parties.  Seeing people’s faces when I tell them I am cooking for them is so gratifying. 

My client and I have been working on this party for months.  She told me that her mother said, “If you plan on throwing an anniversary party for us, I only want Chef Sherry’s food.”  

So, finally, last Saturday night was the big party.  It was a glamorous celebration with family and friends and I was honored to be serving them.
