Recomendaría a Laura a cualquiera que quiera celebrar una ocasión especial o simplemente disfrutar de la experiencia de tener un chef privado en casa sin preocuparse de nada. Muchas gracias, Laura, por hacer nuestra noche tan especial. — Luisa

This was the second time Chef Maruxa has catered for us at home, and once again she and her assistant, Sara, did a fantastic job. The food was exceptional in taste and presentation, with everything entirely cleaned and washed up before they left. The stacking of the dishwasher was a work of art! Communication was very easy via WhatsApp and Chef Maruxa offered us a bespoke menu (ie we did not have to stick strictly to the choices on her offer). We were delighted with this experience and will certainly be booking again with Take A Chef.

Chef Jairo and his gorgeous assistant came and gave us an outstanding service. From start to finish the communication was fantastic. We can be fussy and i added extras, changed things on the menu and Chef was more than happy to accommodate my changes. Very attentive and gave a fantastic service, the food was out of this world too. Everyone was happy, spoke to every guest individually and happy to give us the service. Fantastic clean up afterwards everyone was left with lovely memories & a great experience. Even better food! Thanks again!!

C'est la première fois que je fais appel à un chef à domicile, et cette première expérience était génial je recommencerai. Nous avons passé un très bon moment grâce à Albert qui est très agréable, discret. La cuisine est copieuse et délicieuse, la cuisine laissée impeccable ! Je recommande ????

Elisa was just phenomenal. She was excellent in the organisation including producing a licence at the last minute for the owner of our property. A perfect menu for a hot day, excellently cooked and presented with some wonderful personal touches including some incredible artisanal cheese. And she is just a happy, can do person who was excellent to have around! 5 stars and thank you Elisa.

We had the absolute pleasure of having Maria as our private chef during our stay in Cantabria, and she completely exceeded our expectations. Cooking for a group of 12 with very diverse tastes and dietary preferences is no easy feat, but Maria handled it effortlessly. Every meal was a beautiful spread of classic Spanish cuisine, generous, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared with something for everyone at the table. What truly set Maria apart was her presence. She was warm, kind, and incredibly professional. You could barely tell she was there, yet somehow everything was perfectly timed and the kitchen was always spotless. She was always happy to answer questions and accommodated every request with a smile and zero fuss. If you are looking for a private chef who will make your group feel truly taken care of without being intrusive, Maria is absolutely the one. We would book her again without hesitation. Highly recommend!

Highly recommend! Chef Marco was punctual and attentive and the food was amazing! Thank you!

La prestation proposée par Prerana a été absolument excellente et bien au delà de nos espérances, tout s'est déroulé à la perfection : en amont du diner la communication a été très fluide, les plats étaient excellents, se sont enchaînés avec fluidité et Prerana a été attentive, discrète et très adaptable malgré quelques changements de dernière minute de notre part. Tous nos invités nous ont complimenté sur la qualité gustative du menu proposé. Nous conseillons les yeux fermés de faire appel à Prerana pour un événement !

Stefano was amazing!! Very personable and attentive to what we wanted the menu to look like. He was eager to share local specialties and his love for italian cuisine. We even got some fresh fish caught on his father's boat! I would HIGHLY recommend him!

Serjey and the food was absolutely incredible, we had the most amazing night. Beautiful memories made for my son’s 30th. 10/10 Thankyou ????

Tárcio is a gifted, dedicated, and professional chef. His explanations, preparations, presentations and quality of the food were all outstanding. Several courses had unexpected surprises, with gorgeous presentation and wonderful flavors. It was the type of meal you remember. Which is exactly what you want to provide for your friends/guests/family to celebrate life. Super! / O Tárcio é um chef talentoso, dedicado e profissional. As suas explicações, preparações, apresentações e a qualidade da comida foram todas excecionais. Vários pratos trouxeram surpresas inesperadas, com uma apresentação deslumbrante e sabores maravilhosos. Foi o tipo de refeição de que nos lembramos. E é exatamente isso que se quer oferecer aos amigos, convidados e família para celebrar a vida. Fantástico!

It was an incredible experience! Paula was so nice and cooked a delicious meal for our whole family. She even brought little eatable flowers for decorating the food. A real tresure!

Chef Sarah was wonderful. I would recommend her every time. She was professional, her food was delicious and she left our kitchen cleaner than it was before!

Stanislas a largement contribué à la réussite de l'anniversaire surprise de ma compagne, non seulement par la qualité de son menu, mais également par sa sympathie, son professionnalisme et sa disponibilité. Il a su s'adapter à mes attentes et a grandement participé à faire de cette soirée un moment inoubliable. Un grand merci à lui !

An unforgettable culinary experience! Chef Lorenzo gave us one of the absolute highlights of our holiday in Piedmont. From the very first contact, communication was excellent. He was punctual, well organised, and took care of everything—from carefully selecting fresh local ingredients to recommending beautiful local wines that perfectly matched each course. We booked both a lunch and an evening dinner, and both exceeded our expectations. For lunch, he prepared a wonderful selection of fresh antipasti and authentic Italian dishes that were perfectly suited to a warm summer day. Everything was incredibly fresh, beautifully balanced and full of flavour. In the evening, he created a refined traditional Piedmontese dinner for the adults, while at the same time preparing a separate children’s dinner for our six young children (aged 1 to 6). This was one of the things that impressed us the most. He was incredibly kind and patient with the children, and the menu he created for them was absolutely spot on. They enjoyed a delicious fresh pasta and dessert and, honestly, they hadn’t eaten this well during the entire holiday! What we appreciated most was Lorenzo’s relaxed and professional approach. There was no unnecessary formality or stress—just fantastic food, great company and a wonderful atmosphere. It was exactly what our group needed to celebrate a special family occasion. As a very personal touch, he even brought homemade Limoncello and Genepì, both made by his mother. That made the experience feel even more authentic and special. If you’re looking for a talented private chef who cooks with passion, uses outstanding local ingredients, truly understands hospitality, and creates an unforgettable experience for both adults and children, we couldn’t recommend Chef Lorenzo more highly. Thank you, Lorenzo, for giving our family such a memorable day. We hope to see you again when we return to Piedmont!

Chef Collen was awesome. The food was fantastic and desert was even better. The meal had an excellent pace and the entire group of 11 deeply enjoyed the evening and meal.

We have enjoyed the menu with my family. Sakis was very kind. It was delicious We strongly recommend Sakis

If we could give 10 stars, we would. Gabriele was AMAZING! We had a party of 12- we hired him for dinner one night and a cooking class another night. Both meals (and our learning experience) were spectacular! Gabriele was communicative, timely, prepared, provided more than we asked for and cleaned up everything as well. His primary focus was for us to relax and enjoy the meal- and we sure did! From the first bite to the last, it just kept getting better. We were stuffed but just could t say no when the dishes kept coming. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Such an incredible and impressive experience. Jeremy is a phenomenal chef. From start to finish, everything was handled with professionalism, care, and attention to detail. Booking was extremely easy and most importantly, the food was absolutely delicious. Beautifully presented and perfectly cooked. Jeremy served us local, seasonal produce and each dish was very special. I’ll be dreaming of the ahi tuna! Jeremy is very friendly and our kitchen was left spotless. It’s the best meal that will ever be made in my home! A night we will never forget! Thank you, Jeremy!

Yoann was brilliant. Arrived promptly got to work without any guidance and alongside his waitress delivered an amazing meal and service! Would highly recommend!
