Terry Riesterer
Chef Terry Riesterer started her culinary career as a 10 year old working in the family restaurant in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Unlike most kids who wanted to go out and play, Terry loved working in her Grandfather's establishment, cooking, serving and learning everything she could. The love of cooking came from "Pa." He was a wonderful chef and instilled high values and standards in Terry.
In her 20's, Terry started working in the manufacturing field, all the while taking culinary classes whenever time permitted. Catering for friends and family on a referral basis only, she naturally wanted to be a culinarean full time, but family, a child and a mortgage prevented her from living her dream. Cooking for others would have to remain a part-time love affair at best.
After 20 years in management, many culinary certificates earned, and her true passion churning inside, Terry decided to dedicate herself to cuisine full-time. Chef Terry possesses the talent, training, dedication, love and care necessary to provide the utmost in personal cuisine!
Together with her fellow Chefs, Terry will always prepare cuisine her clients have come to enjoy. Dishes prepared safely, with only the highest quality, freshest ingredients possible. And all specific to each clients needs and taste buds!
