A useful kind of expertise

Learn from work done in real kitchens, for real guests.

Jeffrey’s approach is grounded in more than four decades of planning menus, managing service, solving problems, and preparing food for gatherings of every size. Advice is direct, classes are approachable, and every recommendation has to work in the real world.

  • Menu & service planning

    Build a plan that matches the occasion, kitchen, people, and budget.

  • Kitchen confidence

    Learn techniques you can use again—not just one recipe for one day.

  • Event problem-solving

    Identify the pressure points before they become expensive surprises.

Classes built around you

Bring a question, a goal, or a group.

For home cooks

Knife skills, meal preparation, sauces, timing, entertaining, and everyday kitchen confidence.

For small groups

A relaxed, useful class designed around a shared interest, occasion, or menu.

For food businesses

Practical coaching on menus, workflow, service planning, and operational decisions.

Catering, by the right fit

Still available for the occasional event worth doing well.

Silver Platter is no longer trying to be the caterer for every occasion. A limited number of private, corporate, and specialty events are considered when the schedule, expectations, and budget allow the work to be done properly.
