Hello

Welcome to the Private Dining offered at Evergreen Cafe! My name is Valerie Machorro and I am the Chef/Baker at Evergreen Cafe. My experience began with a culinary degree from JNA Institute and was shaped by years working in American restaurants in and around the Philadelphia Area. My personal love for cooking is inspired by my Colombian / Mexican roots and has continued to grow with my passion for discovering new flavors. My greatest strength is my intuition and creativity. I intend on using both to create the perfect meal for you and your loved ones.
