Table for One

- Eating well when you eat alone -

Hello!

And welcome! I'm Cynthia, a catering and personal chef, and baker from Missouri. I'm a graduate of L'Ecole Culinaire in St. Louis. I've worked for restaurants and caterers as cook, baker, server, and even dishwasher for a long time.

In the interest of full disclosure, if there is a link to a product or a company it is most surely an affiliate link and I would receive a very small commission from any purchases from that direct link.
