I have been in the catering business for almost 20 years -
Making parties special is what comes naturally to me - it’s how I grew up. I provide wonderful, tasty food and drinks, great staff, lovely decor - anything that will make your event special. I love food that tastes good - that's clean and fresh with flavors that stay in your mouth after you swallow. Food is a “feel good” experience that brings color to any experience. At every event, these colors come to the forefront while you have the best time at your own party!
What is important to you is what is important to me. Simply Pepper will take your style and make what is special to you come to life. We talk, we share and together create a meaningful experience for you and your guests.
Simply Pepper is simply the right choice.
Thank you for my opportunity to prove it to you.

Simply Pepper features Two (2) Meal CHOICES to choose from each week AND Two (2) SALADS/DIPS. These need very little prep at home - typically one Meal Choice will need just a drop in pan, add a pre-measured/pre-prepped ingredient(s) and heat, The other Meal Choice will be just a reheat only.
So you have your choice of very little prep to no prep at all!!!
That is what makes us different than other meal delivery service for your home.
We have years of experience with many different recipes and how to break them down to “finish onsite” with the least amount of prep in order to deliver their best freshness most easily. This is what we did for years when we catered a Friday night “Wrap Party” at CBS Studios for years. We know how to offer great tasting food with the least amount of effort…….
so you can LOVE SIMPLY PEPPER for our food AND for the “NIGHT OFF” you will get in the kitchen!!!

I began cooking when I was a little girL -
It was one of the first things my mother taught me. I come from a long line of great cooks - my grandmother, mother and father - I was surrounded by italians who loved to cook and entertain. Every other weekend was a party at my mom and dads house with all the trimmings….and a lot of people.
In my years of experience with boutique and large caterers, I have worked every facet of the event business - floor staff, bartender, floor manager, themed event designer, party planner, prep cook and chef. My dad always used to say “if you want to be the President - you have to learn how to sweep the floors first”. I have the well-rounded skill set to make your special event flow.
I have created parties for Real Time with Bill Maher, The James Corden Show, Google, CBS Diversity, IATSE Local 705 - Costumer’s Union of Los Angeles, Ninja Kitchen Systems, Mens Warehouse, Acme Entertainment and several notable government officials and celebrities. For the past 8 years I have been the Event manager and Caterer (weekly) for HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher at CBS Studios.
What the people are saying about Simply Pepper....
“The embodiment of every professional virtue that you would want in a colleague: creative, punctual, pleasant, thorough, trustworthy and conscientious”
“Not only are her culinary skills outstanding, her creativity makes every event extra-special. She also brings along a friendly staff to guarantee a FANTASTIC affair.”
“We received many compliments from our guests for weeks following the party that Pepper threw. Everyone raved about the food and the service. One guest told us the filet was the best he had ever eaten! ”
YELP REVIEWS…….. (SEE LINK AT BOTTOM OF WEBSITE):
“Easily the best choice for any catering event for my clients and staff. Endlessly customizable menu to any taste or preference. Pepper was amazing from start to finish with planning the event of 24 people (but she does larger) with an array of platters for grazing as well as main dishes for a really delicious lunch (and would be great for dinner!). Want to try more desserts and appetizers because her offering is so varied and customizable. Would recommend to anyone looking to host any event of any size! Easy to order and have delivered. Ten stars.”"Simply Pepper is simply the best! She has catered literally hundreds of events for us over the past decade and she always delivers an incredible, fresh spread full of creativity and flavor. Plus, she and her team are an absolute delight to collaborate with. Five stars aren't nearly enough - go with Pepper and you'll be delighted with what she brings to your table."
"You haven't had a pretzel,
until you've had my Pepzels!"
PEPZELS are an incredible, delectable pretzel treat like none you have never had before. It began as a holiday treat for friends and family. A recipe passed through the generations. A mini pretzel with an herb coating that you will crave again and again.
It's the perfect treat for movie night.
A snack for the kids when they come home from school.
A gift for a co-worker that the whole office will be talking about.....and stealing from one another.

is a light pasta dish in delicate cream sauce. It has just blanched broccoli that adds a green veggie cooked “al dente” just like the pasta, and dressed with a lemony cream sauce made with lemon juice and lemon zest, chopped garlic, olive oil and cream. Then tossed right in is lots of parmesan cheese until melted before adding fresh sliced cherry tomatoes, steamed broccoli florets and handfuls of raw arugula. The green veggies are a great compliment to the cream sauce and the lemon makes it pop in your mouth to make it finish fresh and light.
