Private chef services rooted in story, seasonality, and coastal memory
Named for the magical moments I spent finding lettered olive shells along the North Carolina coast, The Lettered Shell Supper Club brings that same sense of wonder and care to every meal. Whether you’re hosting an intimate dinner, a small gathering, or a special celebration, each menu is thoughtfully crafted to create something worth savoring—personal, seasonal, and unforgettable.
“If you get a chance to work with Laura - do it. I cannot sing her praises enough. I've worked with her now in multiple situations: cooking for my retreats, attending the supper club she hosts, having her cater an eight-person gathering at a friend's house — and regardless of the event, her food is ridiculously delicious and gorgeous. Laura is somehow able to easily assess what kinds of foods work best for everyone's diets and the situation and then put it all together into something that is not just some of the best food you've eaten, but also so pretty to look at! Each course is so lovingly thought-out and prepared, and the dishes are just the right amount of unusual mixed with familiar. And if that weren't enough, Laura herself brings such a joyful, fun presence that it elevates the entire event. It's so obvious she loves what she does, and that love comes out in everything. She makes the whole thing seem easy, like it's no big deal, which leaves you free to really just enjoy the food and your event. I've worked with a lot of caterers and chefs for my retreats, and it's not easy to find someone like that. The whole experience of working with her is truly a delight, in every way.”
