    Chef Katherine and her team are absolutely incredible. We had the privilege of using Outrageous Gourmet for a private in-home dinner for 10 to celebrate my parents' 50 year anniversary, and everything was perfect. From the signature cocktails to appetizers to the main course and dessert, every single bite was delicious. All of our courses were explained to us, too, which was really cool! Through Outrageous Gourmet, we were also able to coordinate floral centerpieces, beautiful table ware, tables and chairs to seat us all comfortably, and locally made leis for both of our parents on this special night. Chef Katherine and her team made this a night and our family will remember forever, and we're so grateful. Thank you!!

    In love with Dessert.

    Chef Katherine never disappoints. My family & I have worked with and hired Katherine for various dinner parties and she is the first person I think to call when it comes to coordinating & providing impeccable service for any occasion. I will call her time and time again. She not only cooks incredible food, she is also very detailed, communicative, professional and sets the ambience beautifully. And don't get me started on the food, not only is the food absolutely beautiful, delicious and completely customized to our likings, but it's top notch quality. I tell everyone I meet, she's the best on the big island. Katherine (& her team) works tirelessly for her clients and it shows. We can't thank her enough for all of her hard work & help in giving us the most memorable experiences, every time.

    So chef Katherine and crew did an absolutely perfect event. The food was superb. We also did a ukulele player for the cocktail and dinner time and that's a must do. After dinner we had a fabulous Hawaiian show. And chef Katherine arranged it all! We did a dinner for 8 adults and 2 kids at a house we rented. The kids has a different menu and they loved it. Chef Katherine added to appetizers to our menu which was a very pleasant surprise. Seriously I can't say enough good things. Everything she served was delicious. Particularly loved the ahi appetizer, chef's special fresh catch and passion fruit cheesecake. To die for! Added bonus, chef, staff et al where absolutely wonderdul people. If you want to do a private meal or luau, she's the one to hire. Will do it again next trip to Hawaii. Awesome table settings plus a rainbow!

    I am beyond grateful for Chef Katherine making our wedding day so special. We were thrilled that we were able too coordinate my wedding day over 2,500 miles away! She is so detailed, informative and really experienced. From table decor to the most delicious 4 course meal, Chef Katherine delivered top quality work. I cannot thank her enough for all of the special touches, that didn't go unnoticed! Thank you to Chef and her team!

    Dynamite Crab, Shrimp & Corn Cakes

    Recently we returned from an enjoyable week in Kona with 9 family members. We rented a beautiful 5-bedroom home. The highlight of the trip was a 5-star private dinner prepared by Chef Katherine from Outrageous Gourmet. From drinks to dessert, she and her staff presented a fabulous dinner. Starting with the Lilikoi Mai Tais and ending with the Tropical Bananas Foster, we all agreed every item was magnificent. Our menu: Dynamite Crab, Shrimp & Corn Cakes - excellent presentation. The Kaffir lime vinaigrette accented the cakes making a light & tasty pupu. The entrée of mixed grilled vegetables, coconut rice, grilled mahimahi, and pulled pork. (Hawaiian surf & turf!) was superb! The coconut rice was unique and tasted fantastic! We asked for the recipe, but understandably, she would not share. We hope the recipe will be in her up-coming cook book, which we all plan to buy. At the end of the meal, Chef Katherine kindly described all of the selections and answered all of our questions about the dishes. She and her staff prepared and served a beautiful meal. Truly an amazing experience! We will definitely do this again! We highly recommend her to everyone wanting a very special dining experience!

    This is the second time I've had the pleasure of eating Chef Katherine's food and it was even more remarkable than I remember it being the first time. From boldly flavorful yet delicate appetizers to tasty Mai Tais served in copper pineapple glasses, this was a dining experience I won't soon forget. Prawns drizzled in truffle oil and topped with blue cheese accompanied with the mai tia was a perfect start to the meal. We then moved to a mushroom egg roll that you would think a bit heavy before dinner, but turned out to be a light crispy treat that I could probably eat 12 of if Chef Katherine would let me. The main course was a sesame encrusted ono with amazingly flavorful coconut rice. It's at this point in the meal that you start to question why you haven't been eating coconut rice with every meal your whole life. The fish is incredibly fresh and topped with a ginger and Tahitian sauce so good it leaves you with the face a child has after discovering ice cream for the first time. The meal ends with a chocolate lava cake with brown sugar and bourbon at the center of it. Perfectly rich, light and moist. Though there were other incredibly delicious bites, these were by far my favorite. My family and I were privileged to have Chef Katherine and her team cook for us again on our family vacation in Hawaii and look forward to the next time!

    I highly recommend Katherine and her team at Outrageous Gourmet for your next event. Hiring Katherine to assist in all of my wedding planning/coordination needs was one of the best decisions I've made. Planning a wedding can be stressful. Planning a destination wedding adds a different type of stress. In sitting down with Katherine and going over my vision for the wedding I was confident in her ability to help me achieve what I envisioned. Katherine has the resources to get exactly what you need and alleviates a lot of the stress. Katherine and her staff did a phenomenal job to ensure that my wedding was exactly as I had envisioned it. It's been a few weeks since my wedding and I'm still receiving compliments on both the beauty of our wedding and how amazing the food was. Additionally, I suffer from a few severe food allergies. It was very easy to work with katherine in finding a menu suitable for my dietary needs as well as one which would be enjoyable for my husband and other wedding guests. In addition to appetizers and dinner Katherine was also able to provide a wedding cake again suitable for my needs. I've said it before and I will say it again if you're planning an event contact Katherine to ensure your event is the success you want it to be. I highly recommend Katherine at Outrageous Gourmet, you will not be disappointed.

    I had a client for whom we wanted to show our appreciation, and Katherine's team was able to miraculously pull off an amazing, memorable, and touching event within a matter of days! I would endlessly sing her praises, except I think my client's words do her more justice. "Wow, you guys have absolutely no idea what you've done - absolutely no idea. Last night was by far one of the most ... memorable and meaningful experiences of my life. Now on to Chef Katherine, who drove her crew across the entire island at last minute to bring her wonderful creations to our home, all I can say is WOW and what an extra special treat. The food was absolutely amazing and there was enough of it to to feed four families our size. Katherine and her team were absolutely amazing, taking care of every little detail that they could to ensure that this night was special. Our kids even ate and drank things they would have never otherwise tried, the food was that amazingly good. At the end of the night, we had learned that Katherine recently lost a close family member to cancer as well, and that this night carried a special meaning for her in that way, you can tell it showed and we are extremely indebted and thankful for having the opportunity to spend the evening with such a wonderful, gifted and talented woman!!!! ... I am not sure how many thank you's I need to get out to feel normal again, but I love all of you guys and just cannot say how humbled I am and continue to be ..."

We had struggled to get responses from other catering options that we had been contemplating for our wedding. The team at Umeke's was not only incredibly responsive, they also made sure to check in with me through the entire process. Unfortunately I can't speak for how the food tasted, as our guest managed to eat everything before me and my husband had a chance to, which can only mean that the food was incredibly good and well received. We did have some Poke Bombs left over which my husband enjoyed the night after the wedding as well as the next day. We have discussed going to the restaurant and ordering the items we ordered for the wedding just so we could try them! So expect to see us there soon ordering possibly too much food, so we can finally enjoy what our guests were raving about. The team on-site was was super polite, accommodating, and left the area cleaner than how we got it! I will most certainly be recommending the catering services from Umeke's to anyone who asks.

    Top priorities for a wedding are location and food. Though we always thought to have our wedding…read morein Chicago with the famous skyline as our backdrop, we weren't disappointed when we decided to trade in the skyline for a stunning ocean view. Paradise Gourmet Catering has a good reputation on the Big Island and with plenty of positive reviews on Yelp and other wedding websites, it wasn't difficult to feel comfortable with our decision. Lava Lava Beach Club works exclusively with PGC for events on their site, so technically, if we wanted to have our wedding at LLBC, we would HAVE to work with PGC. EXPERIENCE: For the most part, we are satisfied with our experience and they made outstanding food for our wedding. We requested the food to be served buffet style and we also requested for passed pupus of handmade ice pops and a late night snack of mini sliders paired with string fries and chocolate milk shakes. The salad with papaya seed dressing, thai green papaya salad with grilled shrimp, layered potatoes (just a lil too salty), green beans with pancetta and pine nuts, flame broiled beef tenderloin with huli huli onions, and fresh island fish with red miso butter infused with ginger were all soo GOOD-- served perfectly and beautifully. ISSUES: The only issues I had was on communication. Working with the staff from Honolulu was a bit of a challenge and within PGC I had to communicate with 3 staff members, who were not always on the same page. Although PGC offered to organize vendors for other services (i.e., tent, band, florist), their services come with a cost higher than if I found them on my own. If you're looking for convenience, PGC is great because they offer this service, but if you want to save a few hundred dollars, you'll have to work a little harder to find your own vendors and compare prices. COMPLIMENTS: I do compliment them on their job well done for thinking on their toes on the day of our wedding when we were blessed with unexpected pre-wedding showers. They worked quickly to think of other options and then wipe the ceremony seats dry when the rain stopped just minutes before the ceremony began. They also adjusted well with our schedule as the night was moving faster than scheduled. Kudos to the wait staff and bartender that helped out that night too--the mai tais, and signature cocktails were YUM! BOTTOMLINE Food: ***** Service: **** Flexibility: *** Value: ***

We rented a beautiful house and decided we'd cater a couple of meals in to enjoy our space. First of all, Clare (who delivered our meals and the wife of Chef Dan), could NOT be any sweeter. She was so responsive via email prior to our arrival. She proposed menus for us, and she cheerfully delivered them. Our first meal: filets with sautéed mushrooms and onions and the most delicious red wine Demi glace sauce (I could literally drink the sauce), with Caesar salad, roasted local veggies, and ulu gratin was SPECTACULAR. The Tahitian vanilla bean ice cream with macerated strawberries was out of this world. The second meal Chef Dan prepared for us was Mahi Mahi in parchement (with a super spectacular leek and mushroom topping), saffron basmati rice, and sautéed garlic bok choy. The salad that night might have been my fave. The passionfruit vinaigrette (much like the red wine Demi glace, I could literally drink). Both my husband and I are still talking about the salad dressing! We are leaving this part of the Big Island and heading to the volcano area for the last leg of our trip, and I have the leftover passion fruit vinaigrette packed in the cooler! Also, Clare/Dan prepared a beautiful fruit tray for breakfast, and the Macademia Nut tarte that Clare picked up from another baker/chef ... also delish.
