Our Team

Susan previously worked for Hostess Helper for over nine years where she met and worked with Jo and Nichola. Her love of cooking and food began as a child, often spending weekends with her grandmother cooking meals for the family. In high school, she did an independent food study and took every cooking class offered. During college, Susan worked in one of Kansas City’s landmark steakhouses. Living abroad enhanced her love of food of Nordic and Germanic cultures as well as an adventurous spirit.

Susan wanted to make a difference in the way people socialize and enjoy food. She started GET OUT OF THE KITCHEN in 2017 to allow Boston-area residents to relax at their own gatherings and savor the experience of entertaining at home.

Ginny has decades of food service experience beginning with serving the youth of Connecticut’s school system for several years. She was responsible for coordinating and planning wholesome, nutritious and delicious meals for children. After moving to Florida, she started out as a prep cook in the kitchen of one of Florida’s premier resorts and, after furthering her education, advancing to Head Baker where she remained for over eight years. She specialized in pastries and homemade breads, while also taking charge of special occasion requests. She recently moved back to New England and continues working with young adults in an effort to provide a foundation of healthy eating.

Nichola grew up in Europe and the West Indies with a very mixed and diverse ethnic background which derives from her family heritage. She learned over time to embrace and enhance different experiences with food to a new level of interest. Food is a passion and her strength primarily comes from her grandmother first and then her mom. She has worked in the private sector for over 16 years providing public services to homeless veterans and disabled low income families.

With her love of cooking, she has embraced a fanatical interest in mixing different cultural food ideas and spices with her own heritage. Well determined and vigorous, with a strong passion of reinventing the cycle of food, she’s taken an interest to attending small cooking classes such as Chinese street food, Indian cuisine and many other cultures of interest.

After working for Hostess Helper for over eight years, Nichola decided to join GET OUT OF THE KITCHEN to expand her ambition and the qualities of perfection while providing services to families and individuals in the culinary and celebratory areas.

Nichola is TiPS Certified.
