about the Chef 

The Tastery was established in the Spring of 2017, after the owner, Chef Starr Montout, a passionate foodie turned Chef started selling "The Best Damn Banana Pudding" locally.  I have always had a love for different foods, flavors  and cultures. So I decided to attended The Hotel, Culinary Arts and Tourism Institute (HCAT) at Anne Arundel Community College to hone my craft and passionate for food.  

​

The Tastery  provides soul food cuisine with the Caribbean and Latin explosion of flavors. We only use the best quality of meats, poultry, and fresh, fruits, and vegetables.  We put a twist on some of the classic dishes. No mix of fresh herbs and spices are off-limits.  

 

The Tastery specializes in personal chef services,  catering small intimate affairs and special events for a group of 1-50 people. We also offer private chef services to provide an at home dining experiences that bring restaurant quality dishes to you.
