We hired Yolanda for a private dining experience during our weekend getaway in the Catskills to celebrate my fiancé’s birthday, and she was absolutely amazing! From start to finish, her communication was excellent. She was professional, responsive, and made the entire process seamless. She arrived on time, prepared a delicious three-course plated dinner for our party of six right in the comfort of our rental home’s kitchen, and provided exceptional service throughout the evening. Every course was beautifully prepared, flavorful, and served with care. Yolanda truly brought the restaurant experience to us! She stayed until dinner was over, ensuring that everyone was taken care of and that we could simply relax and enjoy our celebration. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and warm personality made the evening even more special. I would absolutely recommend Yolanda to anyone looking for a memorable private dining experience. We would definitely hire her again!

About Hungry For Travel
Hungry For Travel takes pride in being authentic and consistent. I put my all into making your event not only special but worry free. When hired to do an event, cooking class, bartending and/or catering I make sure it is at my very best. With the values of Yahweh and a non denominational approach I am limitless. I take your dietary needs, and your personal taste all into consideration when customizing your menu. Being a Culinary and Hospitality professional I enjoy the interactions and intimate settings created around the dinner table. Knowing that in that first drink or bite can turn a great evening into amazing experience. I love what I do and I am passionate about how's it's done.
Reviews
Yolanda arrived exactly when she said. She laid out the freshly prepared food. She was so efficient, unfortunately she left before I could say thank you. The food was delicious and exactly what my wedding party needed. Thank you!
Having Yolanda cater our event was such an unexpected gem. She was punctual, responsive, and, most importantly, the food was absolutely delicious. It felt like a professionally home-cooked meal, which was exactly what we were looking for. Every single guest commented on the quality of the food, and cooking for 30-plus people is no easy task. I highly recommend Hungry for Travel and will definitely use them again.
Chef Yolanda cooked for our group. Not only was the food outstanding, but she was also incredibly professional. 5 stars isn't enough!
We were blown away by Yolanda with her professionalism and expertise. Everything felt and tasted like it was from a very expensive restaurant. We had a wide array of options to choose from so we were able to personalize it and I couldn’t be happier with the results! Highly recommended and you won’t be disappointed
Declined no response or reason, no recommendations or other options or other dates until I posted a review in response to another comment basically I was refused because of my sexuality, while it’s your business I respect it the discrimination was blatant and so rude. Hope you have the day you deserve
Yolanda was wonderful! We had a family gathering for Christmas and for the first time wanted to avoid having to cook ourselves. Yolanda was the answer! She offered many menu options, clearly communicated everything in advance of the event, and arrived on time and ready to go. And the food was delicious! Yolanda is a great cook — everyone enjoyed her appetizers and main dishes. The photo below captures only part of what she prepared (but wow, what a charcuterie plate and other goodies!) This was an A+ experience!
We enjoyed a delicious meal prepared by Yolanda! She was very professional and quick to respond when I had a question prior to the event.
Yolanda was amazing. The food , the display and her professionalism were all on point. Everyone loved the food. From set up to cleanup she was a true professional. All smiles. I would recommend her to anyone and will use her again I received so many compliments from our guests. She was a key part of our successful engagement party for our daughter.
Yolanda helped create a memorable evening for my family. I would recommend her for anyone who wants to host a dinner party without the stress and mess of cooking a big meal. She designed a beautiful charcuterie board and the deserts were incredible. Thank you again!
Yolanda did my sisters bachelorette brunch and was great! She was professional and polite and arrived early to set up and was a pleasure to work with! Highly recommend!
Yolanda was fantastic! I arranged for brunch on Sunday for my sister’s bachelorette and Yolanda was great giving me a full menu to choose from with clear prices. She arrived on time and worked quickly setting everything up while also taking her time to make a wonderful presentation. The lox especially was cut so thin and tasted delicious!
Yolanda was great to talk to and fast to respond. Her sample menus sounded delicious and got you indeed hungry just reading it. We eventually didn’t use her services (or any on site chefs) as it turned out to be more pricey than thumbstack initially suggests and it was much beyond our budget - but this was the only reason to decide against it. In summary, we can’t judge the quality of her food, but the „pre-work“ was very professional and implacable.
Yolanda was amazing! She cooked the most amazing meal for my sister’s bachelorette. All the guests said it was one of the best meals they have had, and her charcuterie board was to die for! Yolanda was very helpful in making the menu. I cannot recommend her more!
Yolanda was an absolute pleasure to work with, from designing the menu to the execution of he meal. She was on time and delivered everything promised. Food was excellent, better than I had hoped! She left everything spotless and hardly knew sh was there. Would hire this caterer again in a heartbeat.
Chef Yolanda Lee created a beautiful dinner for our girls trip in Millbrook. She was very responsive over email and was able to accommodate two different dietary restrictions with no problems at all. Her food was delicious and she was very personable, which made our dinner even more enjoyable. I would highly recommend her to anyone.
I found Yolanda for my sisters bachelorette and she did not disappoint. Her attention to detail, delicious food, and professionalism is a testament to how much she loves her work. We all grabbed her cards in hopes we will find a way to use her again. Highly recommend!
Yolanda is a joy to work with. Pleasant, professional, confident,friendly and efficient. A talented woman , whose help I will hope to procure again and again. Thank you Yolanda.
She was very pleasant to work with
