Ives Table
Small Catered Events, Intimate Gatherings, and Meal Prep
After years in corporate facility management, Amanda made a bold pivot from boardrooms to cutting boards. What started as cooking for her friends and curating dinner parties turned into a side hustle that kept calling louder—until she finally answered. In April, she stepped away from the 9-5 grind to cook full time and hasn’t looked back since.
These days, Amanda creates bold, thoughtful food for small catered events, intimate gatherings, and personalized meal prep clients—infusing every dish with intention, craft, and just the right amount of edge. Looking ahead, she’s excited to expand into private chef services for households and launch a series of ticketed pop-up dinners throughout Philadelphia. Expect lively tables, good wine, great music, and food that sparks conversation—bringing people together through memorable, flavorful experiences..
