Meet Betsy...

I’ve spent over 25 years cooking for families, artists, and friends — from Alabama to Los Angeles to Austin. My Southern roots meet classical training to create food that’s comforting, elevated, and always brings people together.

Food is more than flavor — it’s connection. It’s the start of conversation, laughter, and lasting memories. Whether it’s a private dinner, a retreat gathering, or a custom cake, my mission is simple: to create moments that unite people.

​“Great food gathers people — that’s where the magic begins.”

Dinner
and a Show?

Betsy sees gathering people over a wonderful meal as the best method for creating unity. It’s difficult to be angry with a delicious bite in your mouth(!) which serves as a place for agreement in contentious times. Currently, she is joining forces with Austin’s own chanteuse, Wavemakers Founder, Lurleen Ladd, to offer one-of-a-kind evenings of delicious food and music in your home.

Breaking Down Barriers

Ideally, a home-cooked meal feels less restrictive, creates more intimacy, and can be more easily tailored to dietary needs.

 

And sometimes it feels a little daunting, too.

 

We can help you with menus, recipes, and kitchen organization so you can entertain more easily in your home, whether you have a tiny apartment or your dream kitchen.

Dinners, Cocktails, and Gatherings ... Oh My!

Love hanging out with friends? 

Don't love fighting crowds and waiting for tables?

Kind Words...

We had to write. Your pies are the best we've ever had. The Apple and Cranberry were not run of the mill. Had 8 for dinner and we all agreed, "A+". My husband wants you to open a restaurant so he can invest in it.

They are the best desserts you will ever experience of any kind, whether pareve, gluten free or dairy! You cannot find anything better. You can take that to the bank.

Betsy has done custom cakes for my family celebrations that have been amazing and beyond expectations in both design and taste. Her cookies and sweet treats are amazing, 

I've also used The Saucy Redhead to cater business events and have been very pleased with the assortment of choices, and again, fantastic food.
