OH. EM. GEE. The best dining experience ever. We absolutely loved chatting with Hannah as she prepared our ski trip date night meal while the boys ate the smash burgers we didn’t have to make. All six courses were amazing. She is passionate about supporting locally owned farms and ranches and took notes on likes and dislikes with impeccable detail. It was a WONDERFUL birthday surprise for my wife on our Christmas break ski trip and we had a blast talking with Hannah and learning about her culinary experience, sharing stories and the desserts featuring a blueberry jam from a farm in Michigan that were 100% to die for! Can’t wait to book with and eat with her again!

What an extraordinary dining experience. Adventure through Food was exactly that… an adventure. Hannah created dishes that were not only beautiful, but also combined ingredients that were out of this world. Whether the dish was complex or demonstrated simplicity with just a few ingredients, the flavor profile was amazing. I wish I could eat like this everyday!!!

I can hardly write this review without salivating. I have a pretty long list of dietary restrictions (allergies and intolerances) due to health issues. I usually feel like my needs are cumbersome for others to have to deal with. Adventure Through Food made me feel as if my needs were of no inconvenience at all! I RARELY get meals that make my mouth (and mind) explode with pure delight, let alone leave a meal feeling full to the brim. To start, the bacon wrapped dates were mouth-watering, and the tikka masala hummus was heaven. Could it get any better? Well, it in fact did with the main course: leek/mushroom/spinach subji on top of coconut quinoa–it was out-of-this-world! Food will never be the same after this experience. Thanks for working your magic, Hannah!

Hannah held a cooking class for ten friends. She came prepared and demonstrated the cooking techniques to perfection. We learned how to make Vietnamese Spring Rolls with peanut sauce… delicious! She taught us how to roll the rice paper. Braised chickpeas followed, a burst of flavor and texture like no other! I made her recipe the next night and it was delicious. Thanks for leaving my kitchen in perfect condition! It looked like no one had been here! Great job, Hannah! Thank you!

Hannah Smith is proprietor of Adventure through Food. With that responsibility, she does indeed wear many hats. Her energy to plan, create, collaborate, and ‘make it happen’ seems inexhaustible… During a family weekend, Hannah catered a large party of 40 guests one night, followed by an intimate dining celebration for 5 the following evening. For the holiday party, she presented foods foods matching desired Spanish Tapas theme. The evening started with carrot soup ‘shots’. The table overflowed with Spanish meats, cheeses, and delectable small plate foods. Guests were very satisfied and ate hungrily. Staging a birthday celebration at home is made incredibly easier having Hannah serving you. She created yummy courses of Asian food which she served at a leisurely pace for all to enjoy. The Baked Alaska was a smashing finish to the celebration! Hannah is willing to listen… before, during and after events. She wants feedback to improve her business and realizes the importance of repeat clients and referrals. The energy of her team flows well in conversation and instruction. Juggling all the elements of the job at hand takes poise and perseverance. Hire Adventure through Food and you will be glad you did.

Incredible service! Hannah is professional, accommodating, and of course a fantastic chef! She communicated well, worked around our schedule, and our families diet preferences. Knowing not only that the food will turn out amazing but also that the ingredients are of the highest quality made the difference for us. We are private people and were nervous having a new person in our house but she was so respectful and made it feel smooth and easy. We would recommend her to anyone looking for a new and complete dining experience!

Hannah is my family’s guardian angel! Her food is truly the best food we’ve ever eaten in southwest Colorado. Working with Hannah has been life changing. So grateful for the thought she puts into her sourcing of local food and the beautiful flavors.

I met Hannah last February at a birthday bash (mine) at a backcountry hut. There were four of us – two with separate food allergies. Hannah cooked like none of that mattered. The food was delicious, nutritious, and above all fresh. It was an incredible bonus considering the remoteness of the location.
Hannah is PASSIONATE about what she does. As her bio says, she has studied the mind, but she gets to the heart of people through her food. I would highly recommend Adventure through Food for any of your catering needs.

I cannot recommend Adventure through Food enough. Hannah catered my 15-person elopement at a backcountry hut in Silverton (the “adventure” part of her business is certainly aptly named). She not only cooked several delicious meals, but also skillfully accommodated all of our guest’s dietary restrictions, including vegan, GF, dairy-free, and soy-free options. Guests still rave about the food to this day.
Beyond her incredible cooking, I was impressed by Hannah’s sustainability lens. She centers on locally sourced, ethically produced ingredients and speaks knowledgeably about how food shapes our cultural identities, communities, and environment. At our wedding, she delighted guests by discussing many of these topics and generating rich conversation around each meal. Hannah’s warmth, professionalism, and enthusiasm created a truly immersive and memorable experience. I highly recommend her for any private dining in Southwest Colorado & beyond!

Our organization hired Adventure Through Food to cater a private fundraising event. First and foremost the food for the night was incredible. So many of our guests said so. The hors d’oeuvres were tasty and filling…the table spread for dinner was done beautifully…and the prep and clean-up were quick and hassle-free.
Hannah and the team that she brought with her to assist with the party were all professional, courteous, in tune with our guest’s needs, and a huge support to our event overall. We especially loved the hummus and the bacon-wrapped dates. So yum.
