Welcome
Small Scale Catering and Personal Chef Services with Chef Tamara Glenn
Makanai is a Japanese culinary term meaning “family meal,” referring to the meal served to restaurant employees before or after service. I see so much beauty in this word; it represents the way food allows people to take time out of their day to sit, relax, share in the company of others while nourishing their bodies.
The goal with Makanai is to provide clients in WNC with their own "family meal." My aim is to make every client's life easier with reliable, attentive service so they can live in the moment.
“Tamara is a true professional, who also happens to make some of the best food I’ve ever had. Whatever the occasion she provides that little something special to make every event one to remember. She can literally do it all, and is amazing to work with. I can’t compliment her enough. Incredible.”
Raised in Appalachia, honed my craft in California. There’s nothing more loving to me than feeding others good food.
What Makanai offers…

This is my speciality. Take the stress out of your gathering and be able to engage and enjoy the party and your guests. There are many options/styles we can explore. Contact me with your ideas and we can create the perfect menu. Small gatherings only, 25 people or less.
Send A Meal
If you have a loved one who could use a meal, whether it be hot or for the freezer, let me cook them something nourishing and comforting. Show them you care and send a meal their way. It is always appreciated. Delivery or pick up.
