Great food isn’t the only thing Shelly brings to her customers. Equally important are service and presentation. Savoring Thyme is all about the client. The business is designed around the client’s lifestyle, personal tastes and preferences, and dietary needs. “I spend one-on-one time with you defining your expectations and creating a personalized menu. I then grocery shop, cook in your home, package your meals, and clean up, leaving your home spotless. Finally I provide detailed instructions for final food preparation. You enjoy gourmet meals in your own home and ‘savor your thyme.’”

Although Shelly emphasizes the personal chef aspect of her business, she also offers catering services. As an Air Force wife, Shelly has thrown dozens of parties hosting hundreds of people. “I’ve always been told I should start my own catering business. After moving around for 11 years Santa Clarita feels like home, so I decided to go for it!”
