Taste Buds Required
My name is Martine, and I was born and raised in New York. My parents are from Haiti, and I grew up in a community with quite a large Haitian population. Food that tastes good was not only available, it was expected. If your taste buds are working, I believe it's your responsibility to treat them with respect like you would other parts of your body.

That's why Taste Buds Required offers real, delicious food that you can serve to your friends and family with a smile. We offer Haitian catering for family events in New York and the Hudson Valley. I was the maid of honor for the first time in my best friend's wedding. I was overwhelmed to say the least towards the end.

I found Martine from Taste Buds Required after an extensive google search and was elated to see someone who was in the area that could create some Carribean based meal options. Martine was nothing short of professional in her communication, responsiveness, and ability to give suggestions to the many questions presented to her. I would highly suggest Taste Buds Required for events small and large (the tasting was one of the most fun aspects)!

I’ve seriously been missing out on Haitian food and was lucky to have had a wonderful meal from Taste Buds Required! I highly recommend the “black rice”.... amazing! And the sauce over it was the perfect level of spicy! You need to try this food. Trust me!

The food was great! I've never eaten mac n cheese like this. It was so delicious. The meat was very well seasoned. I have no complaints just that I kept eating more & more lol! The patty was very tasty. Martine did an excellent job. I wish you continued success!

I’m always trying new and different foods. When my friend referred me to “Taste buds require”, I could not believe why I never tried Haitian food before!! It was delicious!! My son and I were Literally fighting for the last patty. This was our first time trying Haitian food and it’s definitely not going to be my last. I already placed my order for this holidays season. Martine is very professional, clean and knows everything about the Authentic Haitian food.

They're great to work with and the food is delicious! From traditional Haitian dishes like fried pork and rice and peas to upscale Mac and cheese they do not disappoint. I'm getting hungry just thinking about the fried plantains! I look forward to eating their food again soon!

The food is as great as the owner! Martine is a true treasure. Everything I had out of her kitchen was more delicious than the last. . . . She paid extra attention to what I liked and wanted on the menu. Thanks Martine, hope to book you for my next celebration.

We had a nice upscale backyard BBQ for our special event. Gourmet organic stuffed burgers grilled to perfection with homemade mac and cheese to name a few of my favorites. The fresh tropical drinks were amazing! They only complaints from our guests were their full bellies. The food was on time and and organized. Fresh hot and delicious. By far my favorite part was the organizing. Literally I had to do nothing but give the date and time and theme. She already had ideas and packages ready for me to just point a finger at! She's easily adaptable and can finish off our unfinished ideas. No drama
