Amazing experience. She helped plan a fully custom menu including wild ideas like baked spicy feta and ube cheesecake. I couldn't recommend someone more!

About Green Kitchen Catering
Welcome to The Green Kitchen! We are a Phoenix-based private chef and catering company specializing in organic, whole-food cuisine inspired by my travels of the world’s Blue Zones and the Mediterranean regions of Italy and Spain. My cooking is rooted in simple, seasonal ingredients, high-quality proteins, edible flowers, fresh herbs, and scratch-made sauces- food that is both nourishing and deeply flavorful. Alongside my incredible team, we cater a wide range of events, including: • Intimate in-home dinners • Bachelor & bachelorette parties • Birthday & surprise parties • Baby & bridal showers • Brunches & holiday gatherings • Retreats & corporate events • Large-scale events up to 300 guests I learned to cook at the side of my Great Aunt Susan- a former Miss Arizona and personal chef to professional athletes in the 80s & 90s! That's where I fell in love with the art of nourishing people through beautiful, intentional food and creating shared experiences that unite us. That same care lives inside every menu we create. I’m highly detail-oriented, ingredient-driven, and committed to quality. We use organic, thoughtfully sourced ingredients and avoid seed oils, refined sugar, gums, soy, and unnecessary additives whenever possible. Whether you’re looking for a private chef experience, custom weekly meal prep, or full-service catering, my team and I would love to create something beautiful for your occasion!
Reviews
We had a great experience with Green Kitchen! Both chefs were friendly, efficient, and flexible with our group. We loved the ease of selecting options, the wide variety to pick from, as well as optional drink pairings. The broccolini was a hit!
Shannon did a great job with our party. Very impressed with the catering service, would recommend to friends.
We hired Shannon for my sister's bachelorette party and she completely delivered. We had a lemon/flower market theme and she ran with it, the tablecloth, the flower arrangements, every detail was exactly what we'd envisioned. The food was outstanding! The truffle risotto especially was one of those dishes people are still talking about. The olive oil lemon cake disappeared before we even thought to take a photo! Shannon and her team were a pleasure to work with from start to finish, and we'd hire her again without hesitation. She even sent us the recipes the next day since we were raving about them! Highly recommend to anyone in the AZ area looking for a private chef experience that actually feels special!
My group and I had the BEST experience with Chef Shannon and Green Kitchen Catering. To start, each dish they cooked was greatly enjoyed by everyone. The food was phenomenal all around. Chef Shannon and her associate were extremely kind and professional. If you are planning a group outing / bachelor / bachelorette party, I would fully endorse booking Chef Shannon and her team!
Shannon is incredible. So professional and communicative. The food was amazing. The truffle risotto was our favorite part of the meal. We celebrated my parents anniversary and Shannon listened to my vision for the evening and delivered beautifully. We also appreciate her being part of our conversations too. 10/10 will hire again!
Shannon and team provide WORLD CLASS catering with creative, fun and delicious food and an unforgettable experience. You can't go wrong with The Green Kitchen!!
Shannon & Carly catered my bachelorette party and I honestly couldn’t have imagined a better experience. From the very first conversation, they were thoughtful, organized, and so easy to work with. The food was incredible. Our whole group kept talking about how good everything was! Shannon and Carly truly felt like a dream team and I can’t wait to use them again for my next event!
Catering by Carly was the perfect addition to our special event. It was such a relief to have the catering taken care of with attention to every detail and extremely high quality. The food & drinks were presented beautifully, fresh and absolutely delicious! Highly recommend Carly and her staff! My standards are high, and all boxes were checked! Thank you for making everything so special for our family and friends!
Catering by Carly has been wonderful to work with. Attention to details has made me feel confident that my dinner will be what I need it to be.
Our guests all raved about the dinner we had catered. The menu was absolutely exquisite, the service excellent. Definitely using Catering by Carly again!
If you want excellent food served by phenomenal staff, you will love Catering by Carly. I used her services for my husbands 70th birthday party for over 50 people and it was fantastic. All of our guests were over the top with positive feedback. I will definitely use Carly for future events and would highly recommend you do the same. I'd give more stars but this site only goes up to 5........
Incredible experience for a micro wedding for 15 people in Sedona. Truly amazing. Carly is very detail oriented and has the right experience to create a very high end dinner party at a reasonable price. Her background and experience make her the perfect person to create your vision. Super flexible and accommodating with regards to menu planning and helping achieve our vision! Carly and her team were very professional and efficient when in the kitchen and all of the plates meals were served on time. I would hire her again in a heartbeat! Hands down. Thank you, Carly!
Carly was by far the best caterer I’ve ever hired. I’ll never hire anyone else. Highly recommend!
Carly was wonderful to work with and contributed enormously to our being able to host a beautiful bridal shower for my incredible niece. Carly responded quickly and informatively via email and phone, suggested a perfect menu and prepared amazing food for us. Instead of traditional shower games, we asked Carly to demonstrate creating a fantastic charcuterie board for us- very inspirational not to mention delicious! I recommend Carly’s Catering without any hesitation- I would definitely hire her again- the event was just beautiful!
Carly came to the rescue for us when we had our original chef cancel on us last minute(like 4 days before the event!!) She was so responsive, understanding and totally flexible. The food was amazing and she was so great! Highly recommend and would use again!!!
Wanted to share our experience with Catering by Carly- easy and seamless experience from start to finish. Our guests raved about the food and presentation. Selections were perfect and pleased options offered to accommodate guests with allergies! We will definitely book again next year. Beautiful night! Thank you!
This was an amazing night! I was super busy with work and had zero time to plan a dinner party for a special event and found her last min. She was amazing and planned a special meal in such a short time. Everyone, including me thought the food was so good and they still talk about it! Also made good left overs the next day. PS...Her and her assistant were so nice!!!
I’ve never done it before — but I will do it again!! That is, I will work with Carly whenever I can and haven given her information to several friends, one of whom is solidifying a date and will call to set things this week. Our evening was perfect in every way.
I hired Carly to come to my house and cook for my wife and me to celebrate our wedding anniversary. She immediately responded to my inquiry for the event. Also, she made our experience personalized and unique for us—everything I requested for the evening she did and exceeded our expectations. If you want a chef for catering or a private event, I would highly recommend Carly.
