Chef Gigi Desi

For us it was the first time, that we tried something like that. We enjoyed every second of not. The food was like in a 5 Star restaurant.

I wanted to do something special and different for my husband's birthday this year and having Gigi come over to cook for us was the right decision. From the first email contact Gigi communicated clearly and attentively. He took time to explain everything and make meal recommendations based on which fresh and in season ingredients were available on the market at the time. He was on time and came well prepared. Throughout the evening he was social and engaging yet professional and polite giving us enough privacy. He managed his way around our kitchen without much of our help. The food was prepared with care and every dish was unique in some way. The food quality was above most fancy restaurants' quality. It was fresh, light, and tastes were well balanced. My husband, our guest and I were all impressed. Gigi shared with us some of his kombucha that he produces which was delicious and we'll definitely be ordering more. He left the kitchen clean. Thank you Gigi for bringing great energy and tastes to our dinner party.

Gigi and Martha were a fantastic addition to our night, a surprise bday party for a friend. They were flexible with our dietary pref and in making changes to the menu. Their food was super delicious and their clean-up (majorly important to me) was impeccable. They struck the right balance between friendliness and professionalism so that guests felt comfortable around them but not obliged to engage in conversation. Little areas of improvement would be if one of them could top up people‘s wine throughout the night, as well as potentially ask people if they‘d like refills of their food (we did a buffet style dinner). Also, clean up of the main kitchen island throughout the evening could have happened more often so that the area always looked clean. Lastly, as we discussed with them, just some alignment around preparation time would be helpful, as the last dishes came out after some of our guests already had to leave, which was a shame since they were so delicious. They were super open to our feedback and absolutely interested in improvement, so I‘d have no hesitation at hiring them again. In fact, we certainly will! Thanks so much to the two of you for making our night so special and yummy!
