Get out of the kitchen and into your life.

I'm Chef Briellen Wolchik. I cook dinner in vacation rentals and in local homes, for busy households week to week, and for the gatherings that deserve a real meal, using fresh, local Vermont ingredients.

Catering details

Is a personal chef right for you?

Most of my clients recognize themselves somewhere on this list.

Meals are personally delivered, fully cooked. Easier than a national meal kit, and you know your chef and where she buys her food.

  • Your schedule is packed with work and family commitments.
  • Takeout has become boring and expensive.
  • You'd rather spend your evenings on almost anything other than cooking.
  • Your meals repeat because you only know a few dishes.
  • Cooking for a special diet has become too hard.
  • You're recovering from illness or surgery and can't shop, cook or clean up.
  • You're a new parent and want to focus on your baby, not the stove.
  • You're a college student who can't remember your last healthy meal.

We first hired Chef Briellen to cater my husband's 30th birthday party, and the food was SO GOOD that when we began planning our wedding a few years later, we knew we wanted to work with her again, and we are so glad we did. A year later, guests are still talking about how incredible the food was.

But Briellen's team did so much more than just cook for us. Her staff helped with serving, dishes, and cleanup, and Briellen even saved the day by removing a stain from my dress just before we entered the reception! Beyond the excellent food, it was truly a joy to have her be part of our celebration.

She has since catered my baby shower as well, and it's becoming a special family tradition to hire her for our most important milestones, one we plan to continue well into the future.

Thank you, Briellen and team, for being such an essential part of so many meaningful moments in our lives!

Briellen is the BEST!! We were in Stowe for a long weekend and Briellen made us our breakfasts and dinners and all the meals were OUTSTANDING! Fresh, seasonal, and delicious. She was super easy to work with. I had forgotten to order dessert for one night and frantically texted her (a girl needs her sugar!) hoping she had a miracle up her sleeve. She showed up with still-warm chocolate chip cookies with some ice cream and we all swooned. She's really that awesome. Thank you, Briellen for making our trip to Stowe so fantastic. Definitely see you next time!

Chef Briellen's restaurant was next to my antique shop, so I ate lunch there almost every day. When she closed it, the whole town missed her. When she offered a personal chef service, I couldn't sign up fast enough. She planned our weekly menu, delivered the food, and everything was absolutely delicious. When she said she was moving, my first thought was to have her ship food to me frozen overnight. She is that good.

Briellen and Brittany were amazing. From the beginning of planning an intimate 12 person dinner, Briellen's communication was perfect. She had many offerings for menu options and allowed me to fine tune to what would be suit the needs of our group.

They arrived for our evening flawlessly. Prepared a meat, cheese, charcuterie, and snack board For an appetizer portion of our evening, And proceeded to prepare the most delicious meal of chicken, fish, two salads, vegetable sides and more. Brittany set the table for our group, and we chose family style serving. They cleaned up after dinner which Allowed our group to sit and relax and save her the moments together.

I would hire Sweet n Savory catering for any large or small personal event. It was incredible all around.

Also, I recommend the baba ghanoush more than anything in the entire world! Can't stop thinking about it! ;)
