Cookin’ Up A Storm
Fetting creates career from scratch
by Ruth Erickson
Chronotype staff
Cookin’ Up A Storm has been Jane
Fetting’s most common reply when she
would get calls from sisters asking what
she was doing. So when she decided to
start a catering business, her youngest sister
TerryLynn said the name of it should be her
typical response.
The former Jane Kolesar grew up in Ashland and attended the Ondossagon country
school between Ashland and Washburn.
As the middle child in a family of six
girls and one boy, she said, “We did a lot
of baking in our family, and I always loved
cooking.”
Her dad was an over-the-road truck
driver and away from home a lot, making
it necessary for her mom to keep the home
and family running smoothly.
“They were just hard-working people,”
Fetting said. “Four of the seven of us own our
own business, and we got that independent
spirit from both of them.”
It was not until after college in Green
Bay, marriage and starting a family that
her passion for making food from scratch
returned.
“The cooking bug took hold for me when
my son was born, and I wanted to stay at
home,” said Fetting, who had three children
in 6 years—20-year old Bryn, 18-year old
Olivia and 14-year old Megan. Then after
a divorce and remarriage, 5-year old Cole
joined the family.
Meanwhile, to support the growing
family, Fetting worked full-time for Excel
Energy, first at the Eau Claire office and then
at the Rice Lake office. When forewarned
that she would be laid off and with support from her husband, Scott, she started
laying the ground work to start a catering
business.
Fetting did research on what was available in the area and found that there were
restaurants offering catering but not a lot of
independent caterers.
“ There was a niche in the market, a need
for somebody to jump in,” she said.
Fetting said friends and family further
motivated her and encouraged her to go
for it.
On her website, “www.cookinupastorm.
biz,” Fetting said, “For years I have had
people telling me, ‘You should open a restaurant.’ because they love my cooking. When
I decided to pursue my passion, I considered
a restaurant. But what I discovered was that
being locked into one style all the time and
bricks and mortar really was not what I was
looking for. Each event deserves a fresh
approach and fresh recipes. Cookin’ Up
a Storm is my way of offering great food
with YOUR event in mind. I look forward
to serving you and appreciate you stopping
by my website to learn a little bit more about
what we have to offer.”
CATERING
The first obstacle to overcome was finding a commercial kitchen in which to do
her cooking.
In August 2010, Fetting contacted Northern Star Theatre Company co-executive
directors Tamara Sharp and Corey Dorrance
about the possibility of using Bob’s Bistro.
She agreed to work around their schedule
of productions and they agreed to rent it to
her, both for her catering and classes.
“We are happy to have the building
used when it doesn’t interfere with theater
business,” Dorrance said. “We really like
supporting young women starting businesses. The commercial kitchen was a nice
fit for her.”
Dorrance said the building is for rent
to the public and can be used for business
meetings, showers, receptions, piano or
vocal lessons or any other such use.
With use of the commercial kitchen,
Fetting started introducing her food items
at craft fairs, holiday bazaars and bridal or
baby showers.
To help Fetting get her business off
the ground, her employer, Excel Energy,
frequently used her catering for business
lunches.
Fetting’s first catered full-course meal
was for 75 people who attended a class
reunion at New Auburn High School. It was
served at a country club in Bloomer.
See CATERER, Page 4
Fresh from the oven
Jane Fetting is thrilled with her new convection oven that was installed before
the door was put on their new addition this summer.The investment of a commercial kitchen at their rural Rice Lake home also includes a larger pantry and work
space and three sinks for prep, hand wash and mop. In the Rae of Lilght photo at
left, Fetting frosts a cake.

Caterer ...
Continued from Page 1
Another break in the summer of 2011 was connecting
with John and Rose Brunclik,
who host weddings at their
farm called On Twin Lakes.
Through them, she was able
to cater four or five weddings
that summer and has doubled
her wedding catering each
summer since.
“When a couple selects
her, we don’t worry,” said
Rose Brunclik. “We think
she’s great—dependable,
creative, knowledgeable.
She’s very professional. She
always has enough food.
She’s willing to listen to a
couple’s likes and wants
and will find a way to fulfill
them.”
Recent bride Kate Erickson of Rice Lake remarked,
“My husband and I got
married on July 26th at On
Twin Lakes. Rose Brunclik
suggested we try Cookin’ Up
A Storm for our caterer. We
set up a time to taste many
different meal options. From
our first bites, my husband
and I knew Jane Fetting was
going to be our caterer. Jane
went out of her way to make
sure everything was perfect.
She came the day before to
set up and made sure we had
an understanding of how the
meal would be presented
and serviced. We would
recommend Jane Fetting
with Cookin’ Up a Storm
for your wedding or family
gathering.”
Erickson added, “I have
also taken a few of Jane’s
cooking classes over the
past few months. It is a great
way to get together with my
girlfriends and make meals
for our families!”
The Bruncliks said they
promote many different local
businesses offering wedding
services and hers is one they
highly recommend.
With many couples
choosing rustic, rural settings for their weddings,
Fetting has catered at Edgewood Barn east of Rice Lake,
the Enchanted Barn near
Hillsdale and Hunt Hill near
Sarona.
She said her husband is
a big help in loading and
unloading the food at the
various sites.
“He provides the
muscles,” Fetting said.
“Sometimes it’s nice to have
that extra strength.”
Grad party preparations for Geoff and Lorene Bohn’s son, Ryan.
She gives credit to friends
Amy VonArx of Rice Lake
and Jennifer Isaacs of Cameron, who both have fulltime jobs yet gave their help
and encouragement to get her
business up and running.
“I could not have started
my business without them,”
said the caterer, who now
has 12 part-time assistants, including her daughter
Meghan Butala and niece
Ricki Braun.
“Catering is intense,” she
said. “You may as well surround yourself with people
who can roll with the punches. If something goes wrong,
we have to improvise.”
Offering both hot buffet
or appetizer menus, Fetting,
with assistance from a crew
of family and friends, catered
24 weddings, including
three in one day, this past
summer.
“It’s definitely growing,”
said the caterer, who took a
big investment leap this year
and added a commercial
kitchen to their rural Rice
Lake home.
In addition to standard
fare, the caterer loves to
personalize to the favorites
of brides and grooms. The
most unusual was chicken
dumpling soup as a wedding
entree.
She said the most popular
request, by far, is her blackberry balsamic breast of
chicken. Other frequent requests are for pulled pork or
smoked meats like salmon.
“We don’t open packages
and put it in a pan; we make
our food from scratch,” said
the cook, who has served her
family so much homemade

meals and snacks that her
young son once asked if he
could ever try a boughten
cookie.
“With my first little family, money was tight and
I had to create recipes to
stretch food,” she said.
“What I served the most was
‘mom’s surprise.’ That’s
when I knew food was
something I was passionate
about—using basic ingredients to blend flavors and
make fantastic food. I did not
go to culinary school, but I
know my flavors well.”
Fresh herbs and spices is
a key to good flavor.
“We grow our own herbs,”
Fetting said. “Down the road
we would like to continue
expanding our product line
with sauces and dressings.
We keep a lot of our recipes
secret because we are hoping
to launch a retail line.”
Keeping her menu offering exciting is a constant
challenge.
“You have to keep it
new,” Fetting said. “I’m
constantly striving to learn
more with a lot of internet
resources, a lot of samples.
We do taste testing on the
family and our neighbors.”
Another challenge is the
volatile food market that
requires her to make the
disclaimer is that food prices
are subject to change at any
time. Even so, her prices are
difficult to beat.
“We’ve been able to
keep prices very affordable
because we have low overhead,” she said.
Popular entree
This pumpkin and butternut squash ravioli is one of
the most popular vegetarian
wedding entrees available
from a line of hot food and
appetizer menus.
included “Bubbles—All
Things Champagne!” “Holiday Appetizers and Cocktails” and “Speed Round
Fix-it and Freeze-it.”
See her website for upcoming classes, cost and
registration details.
Another fun service is
children’s birthday cooking
classes. “Finally, something
different to offer your child
on their birthday,” her website states. See the website
to plan a cooking class for
the birthday child and friends
featuring creative and kidfriendly recipes.
WHAT
PERSONAL
CHEF, CLASSES
In addition to catering
events of all sizes, Fetting
offers personal chef services
and classes.
Personal chef meal service offers delivery of homemade fresh and/or frozen
meals.
“That is where we thought
our business would fly,”
she said.
While it is still a small
part of the business, the
meal service is perfect for
busy families, elderly folks,
new moms just home from
the hospital or any others
recuperating from illness
or injury.
Fetting leads adult cooking classes for small groups,
either in the comfort of a host
home or at Northern Star
Theatre Company. She said
they are a fun and unique way
to learn and be entertained at
the same time.

during Advent titled Embracing an Alternative Orthodoxy.
The Rev. Richard Rohr, a Franciscan priest from New
Mexico, is the featured presenter in a series of DVDs
that explore the Christian faith.
The study will be led by Paul Chase and the Rev.

of the service.
Coffee hour will remain the same. A nursery is available for children.
creating some recipes for the
crock pot. I’m a busy mom,
so I’m very thankful to have
something easy to throw in
the crock pot.”
She added, “I can’t say
enough great things about
that woman. She is fantastic.
She had a vision for her business. It has grown so much
in the last 3 years. She had
a dream and a passion, and
she’s taken it to the next
level in little Rice Lake,
Wisconsin.”
Melodee Eckerman of
Chetek said, “Two years
ago a friend of mine hired
Jane to come to her home,
where she spent the evening
preparing and serving various appetizers, desserts and
speciality drinks for several
of us, providing us with the
recipes as well.
“I already had plans to
host a Christmas open house
the following month and,
even though I had retired
earlier that year and had
ample time to handle the
food and drink preparations
myself, I knew I wouldn’t
have the time throughout the
event to spend quality time
with my guests.
“I mentioned my interest
to Jane that evening of hiring her and within days we
selected a date that worked
with both of our schedules,
narrowed down the menu
and began working on the
logistics of how I could host
a casual home event with her
assistance. On the day of the
open house, she arrived in
ample time to prepare any
food she couldn’t ahead of
time, set everything up in a
festive manner and the evening went on without a hitch.
She remained throughout the
majority of the event making
sure that the food stations
were always full and refreshments were plentiful.
“I got positive feedback
from many of my friends
in attendance as to her professionalism and cooking/
baking abilities. She was
an obvious hit; so much so,
that some of us gathered
around her before she left
for a group photo!”
