Q & A with Andrea Cabot, Owner of Taste & See Catering

Anna Christine Boulier: Thank you, Andrea, for inviting me to your lovely home.

Andrea Cabot: Thank you, Anna Christine. It’s always nice to hear. My sons get on to me about buying this big place for just me, but I have plans which this home will make it possible.

ACB: The catering business you’ve started?

ACB: *Looks out the large kitchen windows to the big yard outside. There is an old barn just past a renovated carriage house. It has a lot of land, too, not just the big two-story house.

Anna makes room for Bailey Evans to sit at the table with her at a local coffee shop. After handing a hot chocolate to Bailey, she waits for her to take a sip before replying. Getting comfortable, Anna settles in for a good, long talk with her friend.
