He was excellent at understanding the brief, and accommodating - making several changes beforehand to ensure the menu was exactly what the host wanted. For our small party of 10, I had asked that he mingle a little with the guests and allow something of who he is to come through, rather than simply remain in the role of serving. He did this naturally and, in a quiet and professional way, became part of the sparkle of the brunch. The only downside was that the time spent mingling did have some impact on the timing of the food. I would put that down to the host’s brief and management of the occasion than to the chef himself. His ability to be flexible and adaptable as well as bring something of himself to the occasion could set him apart from chefs who simply arrive, prepare their food and serve it. He struck a lovely balance between being professional and becoming part of the atmosphere, and I would happily recommend him.

Amazing experience our highly recommended!

Chef Salmon was incredible! His food and attention to detail were the highlight of the corporate private dinner we hosted.

Heerlijk gegeten!!

Katerina was great with communication, couldn’t have been more helpful, was very punctual and served up great food! It was a pleasure to meet and work with Katerina and would have no hesitation recommending her. Thanks Katerina!

Chef Paul and his wife were professional and friendly. The food presented to us was delicious and exceeded expectations - the homemade focaccia and the Brie appetisers were to die for, as well as the panko prawn was like nothing we’ve tasted before. Thank you for making our Mother’s birthday so special.

Chef Amanda was amazing! She came right on time, was incredibly organized, cheerful, and professional. She made us and our guests feel so comfortable and taken care of. It was the best Anniversary dinner we’ve had! The food was even better than I imagined. The depth of flavor and beautiful presentation was 5 stars and beyond. After the meal my kitchen was immaculate. We will never forget this meal and great experience.

Extraordinaire, Ana a été à l'écoute et nous a proposé un menu qui correspondait à nos attentes et plus. Souriante, aimable ce fût un réel plaisir de l'avoir pendant 2 jours. Au plaisir de repasser par Ana lors de notre prochaine escapade à Porto.

Chef Valentin, efficace, sympathique nous a proposé un menu impeccable et excellent, apprécié par tous les convives. A son départ, la table était débarrassée et la vaisselle lavée !

Mi sono rivolta a questo servizio per festeggiare il 10°anniversario di matrimonio. E' stata una esperienza eccezionale... ed è molto piacevole parlare con lo chef che ti spiega i piatti, la loro origine e metodo di cottura, ma che condivide con gli ospiti anche le proprie esperienze personali.

Elliot's food was delicious and respected the house wonderfully! He unfortunately had some car issues which may have flustered him a little, as the focaccia was undercooked. Everything else was 10/10 though!

Chef Emmanuel created more than just an elevated dinner, he provided an elevated experience! We would absolutely recommend him to other people looking for an in-home experience!

Chef Franco and Mia were absolutely amazing! From the beginning, they were incredibly responsive, gave us tons of options, and were so easy and flexible to work with, especially since we weren’t totally sure of our timing. The food was AMAZING, but what really made the experience unforgettable was that I ended up getting engaged that night! ???? Chef Franco and Mia went above and beyond to help my fiancé make it special. They were so accommodating with his requests, even picking up flowers and helping with all the little details. They truly made an already incredible night even more special. Cannot recommend them enough!!

Daniele was wonderful! We were delayed in arriving at our Airbnb and arrived very late. Daniele accommodated us with patience and grace. He put together a delicious meal in a very short time. I would recommend him to others.

Timely, professional, and communicative. Easy to wirk with amd met requests eaidily.

We had Chef Gregory Torres come for 2 breakfasts. it was a great experience and I recommend that you book him :)

Our Chef was great. Before the meal: communication, menu proposal and food preferences accommodation was excellent. Meal: Chef and partner were personable, dishes were explained, ingredients were fresh, local and high quality and presentation and cleanup was very good. We were a group of 8 friends in a holiday rental and it was a great evening! We would definitely book Chef again and/or use Take a Chef service.

Chef Nate made a beautiful and delicious dinner. We really enjoyed the experience and would do it again!

Unbelievable experience with Chef Luis and his team, highly recommend to everyone. Thank you for making our trip unforgettable

Chef Sergi - ensured my family had an exceptional experience. A small birthday dinner for my family was transformed into an evening of memories based on a Catalonian menu prepared with excellent locally sourced ingredients. A delicious meal became a life experience!
