Menu
A Thyme to Cook is a dedicated team of culinary and design creatives and a diverse crew. We believe in relationships over convenience and 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 in all that we do. Booking every single event is not our goal. 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 breads, and design new flavor combinations daily. We love what we do!
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 the Earth and are proud of our 3-star Certified Green Catering distinction.
Founded by Linda Sample in 1984, and under the current leadership of Michael Ferreira, we focus all our talents on you. After 35+ years, our team continues to embody Linda’s passion for creativity, culinary design and taking care of one another. We are wildly creative, joyful, personal, and compassionate. We interpret your desires in a way only we can, to create a unique experience just for you. We’re open to all ideas and take on every challenge with a fresh perspective.
We can’t wait to work with you!
