Allison J. DeLorenzo - Executive Chef/Owner
After six years in corporate marketing, Allison opened the kitchen doors and created The Plated Gourmet in May of 2005. Allison's passion for cooking, entertaining and love of gourmet foods started at a young age where freshly picked produce enticed her senses, meats were prepared in every way imaginable, and fresh seafood from the local port was grilled to perfection. With frequent travel, she learned to appreciate a variety of foods, and was always encouraged to taste the local flavors from classic to gourmet regional cuisine. As a Chef, she has developed recipes that use the freshest ingredients, excite the palette, and provide a colorful presentation. From comfort to gourmet dishes, each is designed perfectly to match the specific needs of the dinner or event. She takes pride in always being flexible to dietary guidelines and personal beliefs.
