I’m Alicia Smallwood, the founder of She Can Cook. I taught myself to cook and then refined my craft in a country club kitchen, where I learned to pair passion with professional precision.
To me, cooking is love in motion. I build every menu with intention, bold flavor, and heart—so each dish feels personal and every gathering becomes a memorable experience for both body and soul.
For me, cooking is love in motion—healing, storytelling, and connection served one plate at a time.
I learned to cook self-taught and refined my skills in a country club kitchen, blending passion with professional precision.
My secret in the kitchen is cooking with intention—letting love, instinct, and bold flavor lead every dish.
I build every menu from scratch, so what you pay depends on the dishes, how many guests, and the kind of service you want. Most of my dinners come to around 203.20 USD, and I'll always work with the budget you have in mind. Send me a message and I'll put together a proposal for your event.
I cook French, Italian, Local, Mediterranean, Seafood/Fish and Chef's special. I build my menus around ingredients that are in season and bought locally, because that's where the flavor is. And if anyone at your table has a dietary restriction, just tell me and I'll adjust the dishes so no one misses out.
To book me in United States, click the Book Now button on this page and follow the steps. You'll add your event date, guest count, and any dietary restrictions as you go. Once your request comes through, I read it myself and reply with a menu proposal and the dates I have open.
Yes. I regularly cook for Birthday, Friends gathering and Romantic night. I handle the menu, the timing, and the setup so the meal fits the kind of event you're throwing. Send me your date and I'll check whether I'm free.
