Description

Tomica “Tom” Burke is the Head Chef and Creative Director of TomCookery–New Comfort Cuisine and Catering. A native New Yorker, Tom spent most of her childhood between Queens and Barbados, WI, spending hours in the kitchen learning to cook authentic southern and Caribbean cuisine from her grandmothers. 

After several years away attending college at the University of Virginia and working on Capitol Hill, Tomica returned to New York to receive her J.D. at Columbia Law School. Upon graduating and starting her legal career, Tom got the calling to come back to the kitchen and began moonlighting for a catering company while practicing as a mergers and acquisitions associate. After two years of balancing the law and her love of cooking, Tom made the leap to leave the firm and open her own food business, TomCookery.

Tom describes her style of cooking as New Comfort Cuisine.  Every dish she prepares for TomCookery reaches back to a simpler time, when food was made from scratch and dishes were delicious. Tom is dedicated to creating custom menus for her client’s events. As a result, TomCookery has built a reputation in the New York event scene for their modern and creative updates to comfort classics and meticulous attention to balancing flavors.In addition to planning and executing TomCookery events and teaching classes, Tom shares recipes and dishes out entertaining advice on the TomCookery Blog. Tom currently resides in Queens, NY.
