About
Ever wanted to have a professional Chef at your fingertips to help build a great dinner? That’s why I’m here and this is how it all comes together.
Here's what you need to know:
1. Grab some friends and a date and decide whose house.
2. Contact me to reserve a date and we'll set up an appointment where I'll come to the house where the dinner will take place.
3. This is when we will go over menu choices, kitchen set up and logistics, including additional equipment and if additional staff is needed.
4. What you’ll need from me is a dining space and set with plates, flatware and glasses. Then decide if you would like parings or just a signature drink with dinner. What time you would like dinner to be served? I would anticipate the dinner would take about three and a half hours. I will most likely arrive two hours before. I then shop, prep and store your ingredients.
5. You’re responsible for the food cost portion of the meal and labor for my services. I provide receipts of things purchased and am reimbursed the day of the event (you’re not responsible for the small things like sugar, oil, salt, pepper, flour etc.). Ask about my going rate, and while I am working for you, that includes shop and prep time, in home cooking, serving, cleanup and storage. This is full dining experience, so no need to clean up I do everything for you.
Meet the Chef - My Name is Chef Sara Fitzpatrick
I have a passion for making beautiful food using fresh herbs and seasonal flavors. I trained in classical French cuisine at Le Cordon Blue in Chicago, IL. I have over 15 years of Chef experience creating culinary dishes that cater to anyone's tastes and dietary restrictions. I work closely with clients to ensure that the food for their events is a unforgettable experience tailored to their unique tastes.
In November 2025, I opened Chef Sara's Table, a bistro in downtown LaSalle, IL, specializing in fresh, grab-and-go soups, salads, sandwiches, gluten free options, and more.
Let's see what we can create together! Call or visit my website to learn more about Chef Fitz Your Palate (catering and personal chef services) and Chef Sara's Table.
