About Boo to a Goose

Hi I’m Harrie! Thank you for checking out my website… I set up my company Boo to a Goose to provide a bespoke chef service like no other; incorporating both bespoke wedding cakes and luxury fine dining.

My specialist private chef service is based in a modern kitchen outside Tavistock in Devon.

In 2011 I attended Le Cordon Bleu in London, studying both cuisine and pastry . This training has given me a tremendous depth
of knowledge and understanding of the culinary arts; enabling me to carry out a fine dining service that the most discerning of customers relish and enjoy.

Whether you need a wedding cake, a private dinner party, canapés or a private chef for your weekend in a holiday cottage – I’m your girl!

I can create bespoke menus and dishes for you and your guests and am experienced in providing for varying dietary requirements.
Including gluten free wedding cakes or dairy free desserts. I hope you enjoy browsing my site, please do feel free to contact me with any queries, wedding cake or private chef bookings and hire.

PRIVATE CHEF

Ever fancied having a dinner party whereby all the stress of cooking is done for you so you can enjoy the precious time with your friends?

As a fully qualified private chef I am just the person to make this happen…

We can meet to discuss how you envisage your night going and the theme of the evening; it could be anything from classical menu to an all singing all dancing Mexican fiesta. I will then create some bespoke menus for you and ensure you have a fabulous evening. Cooked, served, cleared and washed up seamlessly and discretely so you can relax and enjoy you evening.

Please feel free to contact me for an example menu.

  • R U S T I C : F E A S T I N G ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Way back in July I had the pleasure of creating a rustic wedding breakfast feast for the wonderful Rachel & Amy. The girls chose nibbles of Pea, mint and feta bruschetta and tomato, wild garlic and basil bruschetta alongside platters of baba ganoush and smoky beetroot dip with toasted pita and crudités to be enjoyed outside in the later afternoon sun. Once the guests moved inside they were served large bowls of hot shredded bbq brisket and chicken thighs roasted in sumac and hazelnuts all served with 5 different salads including roasted sweet potato with figs and spring onions, green beans with toasted buckwheat yogurt and mint and roasted cherry tomato cous cous with lemon and herbs... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ To finish the guests enjoyed the carrot cake and chocolate cake wedding cake piled high with fresh berries and marsacpone! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This is what the girls thought of it all : ‘On the day I wouldn’t have changed a thing. Though in our first meeting we were a bit scattered and not very eloquent with what we wanted you completely nailed what we wanted! Everyone came up to us after the wedding to rave about the food and we enjoyed the leftovers the following day. Thank you so much for everything Harrie’
  • P R E T T Y : I N : P I N K ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So so happy with how this gorgeous wedding cake came to fruition. Tones of pinks, bronze and rose gold work together in harmony with elegant sugar work and the use of a separator to create a truly unique and glamorous centre piece. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’ll be honest I was incredibly nervous about how this cake would come together ... the ruffles and sugar Pom Pom on top were so delicate and intricate. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Beneath the pearly pink exterior sits a Toffee Apple cake, a passion fruit cake and a lemon cake - YUM! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thank you to @memoriesandmilestones for the images!
