a thyme to cook has history

our story imbibes
color and flavor

Founded by Linda Sample in 1984, and under the current leadership of Michael Ferreira, we focus all our talents on you. After 40 years, our team continues to embody Linda’s passion for creativity, culinary design, and taking care of one another.

We believe in relationships over convenience, and we are diligent about combining your desires with our culinary passion to create a perfectly curated experience designed especially for you and your guests. Integrity is expressed in everything we do. We don’t strive to be the biggest, we endeavor to be the best. Our crew builds a kitchen and fires up the ovens for every event to cook your meal fresh onsite. We order fresh regional quality ingredients weekly, slice our own meats, make our own bread, and design new flavor combinations daily. We love our work!

We’re active partners in our local community and give back to many local non-profit organizations including the St. Vincent DePaul Food Bank, Wheeler Library, Safe Futures, Mystic Arts Festival, and many more.

We care about the impact we make on this Earth and are proud of our 3-star Certified Green Catering distinction.

We can’t wait to work with you!
