ABOUT SUSAN LANE
Our story began in the early 90’s with our founder Susan Lane turning her love of food into a promising young catering business. She describes herself as an intrepid wanderlust, letting her love of other cultures influence her menus. Her travels have taken her twice to SE Asia for one-month stints taking cooking classes from north to south in Vietnam and Thailand.
Her other remarkable travels include an unforgettable Boston University culinary trip to Tuscany with Jacques Pepin and a self-curated culinary trip to Oaxaca, Mexico in 2022 where she learned how to make every type of mole you can imagine.
Other culinary journeys to Spain, France England, Ireland, Central America and many of the Caribbean islands taught her so much about local cooking methods, spices and authentic regional recipes. She will never grow tired of what the world can teach us about food.
Couple this with her insane attention to detail and you have the makings of a well admired local caterer. 30 years of owning a catering company has given Susan and her employees invaluable lessons in the logistics of off-premise events which can often include complicated set ups.
Her newest passion is working with NECAT Boston, an incredibly vibrant organization that offers a free 14 week culinary program to those facing barriers to employment.
