Let’s talk about the main event on my holiday menu. 🍊🍖

Citrus-marinated pork rib roast!

I love cooking a beautiful roast for the holidays. There’s something very satisfying about bringing the whole thing to the table, especially when you’ve got a little w**e in your glass and everyone is ready to eat.

This one gets marinated with citrus, roasted until it’s tender and juicy, and served with two of my favorite sides:

🥔 Potato Dauphinoise, because thinly sliced potatoes baked with cream and cheese are always a good idea.

🥦 Roasted broccolini with crispy shallots for a little crunch.

It’s part of my holiday private dining menu, which means I do the cooking and you get to enjoy your guests without spending the entire evening checking the oven.

And yes, I’ll clean up after myself. 😂

Holiday dates are filling up! DM me or visit chefalekka.com to plan your dinner. 🍷

You can add a few extra touches to your private event if you want to dress things up a little.

Mini charcuterie boards are $15 per person, antique serviceware is $15 per person, and flower centerpieces are $30 per bouquet.

Some groups want to keep things simple. Some want the table to feel a little more special. Either way, we can build it around the kind of night you’re having.

And in case hosting at home sounds like more work than fun, the event space at Hilltop Kitchen is also available to rent for $200.

I can come to you, or you can come to me.

What’s scarier than Halloween? Having to share your charcuterie with someone who eats all the good cheese. 🎃🧀

Problem solved. Everyone gets their own!

Catrina and I had way too much fun putting these little Halloween boards together. Cured meats, cheeses, fruit, nuts, a little something sweet, and some creepy crawly friends.

And before anyone asks, the spiders are NOT edible. Please don’t make me explain that twice. 😂🕷️

Happy Halloween! 👻🍷

My Nona’s chocolate pie, exactly the way she made it 🤎

Rich chocolate filling, a buttery crust, and toasted meringue on top — the kind of dessert that makes people go quiet for the first bite.

This one is straight from family tradition, made the same way it’s always been made, because some recipes are too good to mess with.

You can find it on my Southern Comfort private dinner party menu, or honestly, I can add it to almost any menu if you want to end the night with something extra special.

Sometimes the best part of dinner is dessert. Actually… most of the time.

There are two kinds of people:

People who quietly bake.

And people who accidentally turn pie-making into a full arena concert.

I am not the first kind.

These deserve their own little moment on the holiday menu. Especially because I have a serious love affair with puff pastry. 😂

I’m starting my holiday dinners with an assortment of savory tarts, and I had a lot of fun putting these combinations together.

🥐 Braised leeks with herbed goat cheese, pickled shallots, and hazelnuts.

🍇 Roasted grapes with goat cheese, honey, sea salt, and thyme. If you’ve never had roasted grapes, you’re missing out!

🥓 Caramelized onions with bacon, Gruyère, and fingerling potatoes.

All served in buttery, flaky puff pastry. They’re a great way to start a holiday dinner, preferably with a glass of w**e in hand. 🍷

These are just the first course of my holiday menu, which includes everything from butternut squash soup to citrus-marinated pork rib roast and pumpkin cheesecake.

If you’re planning a holiday dinner and would rather spend the evening with your guests than in the kitchen, I’d love to cook for you!

DM me or visit chefalekka.com to talk about your holiday gathering. ❤️

Thanksgiving is going to be here before we know it, and I have a question. Who’s making the pies this year? 🥧

If your answer is usually “someone else,” I think we should change that.

On November 15, I’m teaching my Holiday Mini Pies class at Hilltop Shared Kitchen. We’ll make all-butter pie dough from scratch, and you’ll get to choose between apple, pumpkin or pecan.

I’ll walk you through the whole process, share a few tricks I’ve learned over the years, and hopefully send you home feeling a little more confident about tackling Thanksgiving dessert.

And if you just want to come hang out and make pie with me, that’s a perfectly good reason too.

📅 November 15 | 11 AM–1:30 PM
🥧 $80 per person

As soon as the first leaf falls in autumn, you are legally requires you to consume tomato soup and grilled cheese.

I don’t make the rules. I just make the shooters.

These grilled cheese + tomato soup shots are the perfect warm-up snack…crispy, gooey, tangy, and gone in two sips.

These are from a past private event menu, but absolutely something I can add to your custom event, shower, or private dinner. Comfort food, dressed up just enough to get invited to the party.

📩 DM me if you want to build a menu that includes these (or needs a little something cozy).
