Add to that chocolate-covered strawberries, personalized menus, and a beautiful bouquet, and you get the picture: it was a night to remember! We couldn't recommend Kristen highly enough. We're really lucky she is here in the Triangle.

Chef Kristen is absolutely amazing. I found her while looking to give my wife a birthday present…read more We both love to eat and cook, but being a working Mom, my wife spends a huge amount of time on food preparation. I hoped I could find someone for a spell that would make delicious, healthy food that would also give my wife some extra free time. A double win. Chef Kristen has knocked that goal out of the park. First she met with us to get a really detailed understanding of our preferences and feelings on specific ingredients. Then she creates a set of menu choices we can review and select from. Next she sends us shopping list we can modify based on what we have in the pantry and she picks up the rest. That's all there is to it. But that's just the process. What about the food? Holy God. You can see from her website that the food is visually stunning. But the taste is just sensational. We are not vegetarian or vegan, but we have enjoyed trying out this diet during our time with Chef Kristen and the flavors and sensations she is able to render from plant-based ingredients (ex: lentil meatballs you will swear have meat in them) show a real mastery of technique. She has also changed my opinion on a number of previously polarizing ingredients. I'm looking at you mushrooms! Lastly, she's just extremely nice and easy to work with. She gets to know your family and enjoys sharing stories and hearing feedback on the food. We're so glad to have found her and our whole family, including our 9 year-old son give her the highest recommendation.

I tried both dinner and brunch over a short weekend stay in the area and both were 10/10. Everything here is homemade and beyond fresh. I had a grits special and it was the best I've ever had. The chicken dinner seems to be the most popular dinner item here, but I broke the mold and went with the pork and it was fantastic. I am not a potato person, but the side potatoes were phenomenal. The back patio makes for a great place to enjoy a meal and linger over a beer or tap natural wine. The inside is a little more hectic and not somewhere I would linger. There is also a little market with some grab and go items and beer/wine. A true neighborhood gem!

My wife and parents-in-law chose to use the Food Fairy to cater our wedding in Pittsboro, NC (June…read more2016). I had gone on a spearfishing trip to Baja and caught a bunch of yellowtail to serve at the wedding. She served it seared, on a stick, with watermelon and basil. It was incredibly creative, made an amazing presentation and was mouth-watering good. I have high standards and especially with fish. The other dishes were all amazing and we still talk about them today. Aside from the top-notch quality, Terri was very responsive in communications and her whole staff is a pleasure to be with. I'd highly recommend her and look forward to having an opportunity to work with her again in future. Terri, thank you so much for our Food Fairy wand/stirring spoon. To this day it's one of our favorite kitchen utensils.

I cannot say enough good things about Terri, the Food Fairy. I also cannot say enough good things…read moreabout the mind-blowingly delicious food she presented at my wedding two weeks ago. Terri truly went above and beyond to craft a menu that was reflective of our personalities and tastes. Balancing my needs as a pescatarian with his cravings for red meat was no easy task. Add to that my southern roots and his Cuban culture and you could have a real mess! No such thing occurred, though. The appetizers and dinner presented were like a work of art - variations on a theme. We received many compliments on the food from our guests. Terri and her team created mouth-watering dishes and presented them gorgeously. Who could ask for more?
