Rebecca's Feast
In business since 2007, Rebecca has enjoyed cooking and baking for friends and family since she was old enough – and tall enough! – to reach the kitchen counter. While always been passionate about fresh food prepared well and with lots of flavor – Rebecca comes from a long line of fantastic home cooks and at least two professional chefs in the family tree – it was her time in Boston that set Rebecca’s Feast in motion. After the initial love affair of frequenting cafes, hole-in-walls and restaurants from Cleveland Circle to downtown and back again, she decided it would more cost-effective and much healthier to prepare most weekly meals at home. So she called home and one of her first dishes was Chicken Curry – a recipe from a Pakistani family friend. Even though Rebecca used way too much garlic – her father is Filipino (is it really possible to use too much garlic?!), her future husband of Austrian-Irish descent devoured his plate and then thoroughly enjoyed her All-American Apple Pie for dessert!
As the cookbook collection outgrew the academic resources, she was then pursuing graduate studies in Philosophy at Boston College, and cooking itself became more enjoyable than curriculum planning & exam-grading, a good friend arranged for her to spend the day with Joanne Chang, then pastry chef at Mistral.
What an inspiration! She realized that career change truly is possible! Rebecca then pursued summer stage work under the pastry chefs at Radius and Hammersley’s Bistro. The seed of professional cooking had been planted but it would take the life change of having her two beautiful children and returning to San Antonio to bring Rebecca’s Feast to life.
Personal Chef Rebecca now serves San Antonio and surrounding areas with fresh, wholesome meals for time-starved families, busy professionals, new & expecting parents, those on medically-restricted diets or desiring weight loss/management, and anyone who desires delicious, healthful meals in the comfort of their own home. She also offers in-home entertaining services from Romantic Dinner for Two, casual family occasions to fine dining experiences and small event catering. As of Sept, 1st, Rebecca’s Feast is pleased to offer Bakery Service! It is her passion to provide each client with home-made gourmet goodness from savory to sweet!
