Menus with intention.
Every Sisi’s menu is created with the client, the season, and the event in mind. These sample menus are meant to offer a sense of style, flavor, and possibility — not a set list of limitations.
I love cooking food inspired by American, Greek, and Italian flavors, with menus that feel seasonal, playful, and beautiful to share. Whether your event is plated, family-style, grazing-style, or somewhere in between, we’ll create something that feels right for the occasion.
