About Us
Mother's Catering began in August, 1994, with a very specific mission. The goal is to provide the highest quality food as well as working with the farmers by buying and using their products. Mother's Catering is a design-oriented, full-service whole foods catering company, focusing on product development and education. We design according to the nature of the event and the degree of emphasis that you prefer, and provide aesthetically-stimulating presentations as well as nutritional complimentation. I formed Mother's Catering with a twenty year background in the upscale restaurant business, including the organic food business. Having a 35-year history of vegetarianism and organics, I strive to use this knowledge whenever possible and practical, providing comprehensive and complimentary nutritional combinations in everything I create. At present, I teach food and nutrition classes through private venues, retail businesses, and educational institutions, addressing all areas, including special needs. As a nutritionist, I address all areas of nutrition through education, counseling, and wellness programs. I also work as a registered yoga instructor.

Ingredients include 40 layers of phyllo dough, Oklahoma-grown pecans, ghee (rendered butter, homemade), sugar cane crystals*, lemon juice, and orange blossom water. Baklava has an extremely long shelf life. It does not require refrigeration, and will remain fresh for several weeks. In the event that it starts to "wilt" and get slightly moist, it can be heated in the oven and will "crisp" right back into shape. *ingredient produced without the use of chemical fertilizers, herbicides, or pesticides.
