Vanesa ha sido muy amable en todo momento y su menú estaba increíble. Muy simpática, ordenada, puntual y profesional.

I didn't expect what my clients received during the 3-day private chef experience. The food and service were elevated to the next level. Vanessa was very careful to find out every detail the clients requested, wanting to be sure there would be no mistakes. When we received the menus, they already sounded perfect. The preparation, the sourcing of the highest quality ingredients, and the care shown meant my clients were pampered with excellent food — made with love, experience, taste, and beauty. I recommend this couple, you can be sure, all will be just perfect!

Up to the event the communication with Vanesa was outstanding. Our small group was very well and very kindly served by her and Nicolas. The first and second course, slow-cooked lamp ampanada and the grilled prawns with extra virgin olive oil and La Vera paprika were especially delicious. The Valencian organic fruit salad as desert was perfect on a hot evening. Both barbecue and kitchen worktops were perfectly cleaned by the pair. Best of all were the friendliness, the efficiency and the big smiles of Vanesa and Nicolas. A huge thank you.

This is the message we sent to Chefs Nicolas and Vanesa after their service. Dear Vanesa and Nicolas. Thank you so much for making the perfect day extra special. Your food is excellent, the service was perfect (even though we did not provide the best kitchen or tools for you). But most important you are really wonderful persons. We will highly recommend your food and service. Best regards, with huge respect <3 Halli and Berglind

Chef Vanesa and Nicolas were absolutely delightful, the food was incredible and the experience was top notch overall. Will be recommending them to all my friends and family for their stays in the Alicante area.

Chef Vanessa and Nico were simply incredible. They were so easy to work with, communicative, and full of joy. The dishes they prepared were absolutely delicious and beautifully prepared. Every dish was perfectly prepared and seasoned, and truly unforgettable. They took time to tell us a bit about each dish and how it was prepared, and were very attentive to our needs. We were 4 adults and 3 kids, and even our pickiest eater loved the food. It was such a wonderful experience for our family and I would highly recommend them to everyone.

Vanesa is an amazing chef. We had a birthday party and it went super well. Everything was 10/10!!

Our first experience with TakeAChef was fantastic, even though something went wrong which they managed to resolve quickly and in an amazing way. Our first chef got sick, really sick. He asked us if it could perhaps be the next day and we agreed; if you are sick, you shouldn't be working in the heat. The next day he had become even sicker and we asked him if he could make it the next day; he indicated that he was getting worse and asked TakeAChef to find a replacement. It was the second time in 11 years that he had to cancel an appointment; he found it really annoying and we even stayed in good contact with him for days afterwards. TakeAChef actively started looking for replacement chef(s) for the next day and found them quickly. Chef Vanessa and Nicolas were able to offer the same service and menu for the same price. Initially, they wanted to recreate the previous chef's entire menu; I asked them to make their own specialties. The only requirement we had was a paella masterclass so that we could learn how to cook paella. Vanessa and Nicolas took care of this; it was great that they were able to arrange it so quickly. Making arrangements went smoothly. The problem resolution was exceptionally good. The food was all incredibly delicious. The chefs were friendly and professional. Everything was left neat and tidy. Nicolas and Vanessa, thank you so much for the amazing experience.

Vanesa and Nicolás were excellent chefs for our dinner. We liked their options and selected a menu with local flavors from the area. They were both friendly and engaging and made us an incredible meal. I would definitely book with them again!

Where to begin?! We got paired with chefs Nicolas and Venesa when our original chef got cancelled last minute just before our arrival in Espana. Initially we were a bit stressed about the plan change, but it seems that the universe smiles upon us anyway. Being reassigned to chefs Nico and Venesa is probably the best thing that could have happened to our experience, culinary and otherwise. They have curated SO MANY AMAZING MEALS FOR OUR FAMILY, EVEN WITH OUr Many dietary requirements. We are all celiac, so gluten free and corn free has a requirement for all of us from day one, which has been no problem for them to accommodate. In fact it was well received as a artistic challenge. Every meal has been executed with ideal flavour, grace and perfect timing. Co-created excellence is brought to the table with every dish, every time. Nico y Vanessa really are a talented duo. They bring so much more than just a great meal. They bring a whole vibe of richness. What they’ve come up with for my particular diet has been absolutely life changing, to say the least. Some of the things I’ve learned from them are things that will change the ways I cook and see food forever. Not only am I gluten free & grain free entirely, but I’m also Dairy-free, Vegan (with the exception of honey) & Oil-free..the latter of which is usually the kicker, even for most professionally trained chefs. SO in addition to the restrictions, I also require several smoothies & fresh greens juice daily. Which has been absolutely no problem for our brilliant Chefs Nico y Vanessa! I recommend that they write a cookbook & I DEFINITELY highly recommend hiring them for any length of time! We have been blessed by their presence through Take a Chef for 8 days for 2 large meals per day (and my kids are quite picky eaters!) We were beyond satisfied with every meal & every dish. They went SO far above & beyond our expectations creating incredible & unique appetizers and desserts as well. It really made me & my family feel relaxed & nourished. After each meal Chefs Nico y Vanessa cleaned up the entire kitchen, washed all of the dishes & sometimes even played soccer with the children! They are very family friendly & solution-oriented. We seriously couldn’t be more grateful for the opportunity to work with this caring team. It’s been an experience of superb quality & so much learning. Some of our favorite meals included: Chicken Parm, Skewers, Paella, Empanadas, Tacos, Ribs, the Sorbet, the Smoothies, the Breakfast potatoes & omelets (very yummy & healthy breakfasts so say my children), literally EVERYTHING they create has been absolutely delicious. 5/5 stars we highly recommend them for everyone! Especially people with special diets. Thank you SO much!!! Ruthanne Erickson (Annie) & Chris & kids
