The Plated Pantry

Private Event + Corporate Catering in the Central Valley

Announcement

After much consideration, we have made the decision to discontinue weekly meal prep services starting May 1, 2025.

This decision was not made lightly and I will dearly miss cooking for my meal prep clients each week. However, we will continue to offer private catering services, classes, and occasional pop up events in the community.

We would love to serve you in that capacity anytime you need. See below for the updated list of services we currently offer.

Gift cards for meal prep services will be honored through the end of 2025 or can be applied to anything in our shop or towards a private catering event.

Thank you in advance for your understanding! If I can help make the transition easier in any way, please let me know. Or, if you have any other questions, please feel free to reach out!

Happy Clients

  • Francesca - Private Event

    I am pleased to enthusiastically recommend Brittney as a personal chef. She recently prepared an exceptional multi-course meal for our group, and every detail—from planning to plating—was handled with professionalism, creativity, and care.


    The evening began with an elegant trio of crostini: blackberry with goat cheese and honey, braised tomato with herbs, and a delightful fig jam with prosciutto. Brittney followed this with a vibrant maple Dijon salad featuring roasted squash, pecans, and dried cranberries. The main course—perfectly braised short ribs served with garlic mashed potatoes and roasted broccolini—was both hearty and refined. Dessert was a standout: a moist olive oil lemon cake paired beautifully with a fresh berry compote and whipped cream.


    Brittney also expertly paired wines with each course, enhancing the entire culinary experience. Her communication throughout the process was prompt, clear, and collaborative. She made thoughtful suggestions, ensured the meal aligned with our preferences, and left my kitchen spotless.


    Brittney was truly an asset to our gathering. Her talent, professionalism, and attention to detail made the evening unforgettable. I would not hesitate to hire her again or recommend her services to anyone seeking a high-end dining experience at home.

    We wanted to thank the Plated Pantry so much for helping make our events even more enjoyable! The food was simply delicious and the presentation was flawless. Brittney was very well-timed in delivery, accuracy and professional.

    The suggestions for the menu were appreciated and she stayed within our organizations per diem. Everything worked out perfectly! We will definitely by using the Plated Pantry again!

    My family loves Plated Pantry! The menu that Brittney offers is diverse and offers great variety. She is flexible with modifications and substitutions. The portions are great for our family of 4 and the meals are kid friendly. We save so much and eat out less! After a busy day at work, I appreciate not having to think about what to feed my family! We can enjoy home cooked, delicious restaurant quality meals delivered to our doorstep on a weekly basis. Would highly recommend Plated Pantry meal services for busy families and anyone who appreciates a good meal!

    I was planning a ‘thank you’ dinner for three couples. I wanted to have a farm to table feel and really just enjoy the night and not feel hurried for rushed. I met with Brittney and I told her what my ideal night looked like. It was obvious that cooking for others and serving them in this way was something she was very passionate about. She knocked it out of the park! We showed up to beautiful decor and delicious charcuterie and homemade bread. Our meal was fantastic! She and her husband literally waited on us hand and foot. They brought every single person their meal. The food was delicious and plated so beautifully. She checked on us, refilled our drinks and then brought us a variety of delicious, from scratch desserts. To top it all off, she boxed up the extra food and dessert and did all the clean up. It truly was more than I even imagined for that night! My friends and I still talk about what a wonderful night it was! I would absolutely use Brittney again!

  • Tina

    I am a recently widow with two young picky eater. Being a single mother It is difficult to do everything on your own. Juggling work and home life can be chaotic. I reached out to Plated Pantry to help make healthy meals for the kids and I. Britney was able to incorporate my food restrictions (no beef products due to Religious preferences and shellfish due to anaphylaxis). I gave Britney my food budget for the week and she prepared multiple meals that fed the kids and I. She sent me sample menus prior to delivering the meals to my home. A few days after I received the meals, she would touch bases with me to make sure everything was tasty. Having food prepped by Plated Pantry let’s me focus on my time with my children with other activities other than focusing food prepping.

  • “My four year old daughter took one of Brittney’s classes at Garden Joy, and she had the best time! It was a Thanksgiving theme, and they made little sandwiches shaped like turkeys. There was also a craft at the end that also was on theme. It was all very well thought out and organized, and truly perfect for all ages. It is very evident Brittney’s passion for cooking and teaching others, and I would highly recommend any of her courses!”

  • "Having Chef Britt do a cooking class for our daughter’s 10th birthday party was the best idea! My girl said it was her favorite party ever. Chef Britt is so sweet and easy going with the girls and has an obvious desire to instill confidence and curiosity in cooking. I’m thinking now I want her for my own birthday party. The food she cooked with the girls was delicious!"
