Narrowsburg, NY — Jill Padua, noted area caterer, chef, former restaurateur and proprietor of “Jill’s Kitchen,” broke ground recently on a new commercial kitchen at her home in Narrowsburg, NY. Padua is scheduled to commence operation of her catering/take-out food business in early to mid-September with an already well-established clientele. Jill Padua learned to cook as a teenager and throughout her career has worked in all areas of the food service business in different parts of the country. She is the former owner of The Chatterbox Café in Narrowsburg, a restaurant with an eclectic, varied menu, and has also worked extensively with Marcia Dunsmore, now a partner at Settler’s Inn in Hawley, PA.

One of Jill’s satisfied customers is Beverly Sterner from Milanville, PA, who writes, “It is rare to find in one person both natural talent and the ability to make it work. Jill has both; love and joy in preparing not only delicious food in a warm, friendly and efficient atmosphere, but the administrative and managerial ability to grow and sustain a successful business.” Some of Jill’s upcoming menu items will include Roasted Vegetable Lasagna, Lemon Pistachio Chicken, Roasted Corn with Tomatoes and Basil, Asian Asparagus with Mandarin Oranges, countless other entrees and appetizers, and an array of homemade desserts and soups. Of course, all food is cooked to order, with a nod toward lively presentation and good health.
