Jason was incredible. He was punctual, friendly, and his food was delicious. 5 stars, highly recommend!

Rachael and her team were fantasic from the moment they arrived until the minute they left. The food, presentation as well as timing were faultless. The whole team did an amazing job of looking after us, and would be topping the glasses up even though we didn't expect them too. I would highly rate Rachael, and will be sure to book again in the future. Thank you for making our event even more special!!

Graziella, Chiara and Lina were fantastic! They cooked for a group of 10 of us including 4 children on Thanksgiving at the house we had rented. They were punctual, professional and super friendly. The food was delicious and a highlight of our trip. We hope to return and be able to do it again. Thank you so much for the unforgettable experience!!

Where do I begin!? Chef Ja'nayia is just an all around amazing chef! My co-host and I feel incredibly blessed to have found her. Chef Ja'nayia was the chef for our women's retreat and every single person at the retreat was delighted and overjoyed with her outgoing personality, her attention to detail, her care not only for the delicious food that she prepared but for the ladies at the retreat as well. She accommodated all the diet restrictions and requests with such ease and grace while making them all equally amazing! We definitely will be hiring Chef Ja'nayia for all our future retreats and events! Highly recommend her!

Chef Max was a true professional!! He gave us an incredible experience that we will never forget. From start to finish, everything was executed to perfection.

The food, conversation and presentation were great! Highly recommend Take A Chef.

Het was onze eerste keer dat we een chef hebben ingehuurd thus. Het was echt een succes! Chef Kell was super professioneel en ging zelfstandig te werk. Wat ik echt op prijs stelde is dat hij plastic over zijn schoenen deed voordat hij binnen kwam. Het eten was super lekker en kregen een goede uitleg over wat het allemaal was. Service wat top en ook was de keuken weer perfect schoon achtergelaten. Al met al een top ervaring!

Victoria cooked and served a delicious meal for my family. She arrived with flowers for me as the host, and created a delicious meal in my humble kitchen, which she left cleaner than she found it. It was a nice experience for us.

EXPERIENCIA ÚNICA: Servicio excepcional, muy atento Ricardo y su equipo a las solicitudes para hacer un evento único y personal. 100% recomendable y su sazón espectacular.

We had an incredible time. The experience was wonderful and the food was fantastic!

Ranlin was amazing! Such a polite, interesting young man! The food was so so beautiful! A story behind every dish. As Australians we were excited he knows of Brisbane where we are from and not just Sydney! If we are in Switzerland again we would love to have him cook for us again!

Angelique a été très professionnel et la qualité des produits et du menu était très bon ! Nous la recommandons ????

The entire experience was phenomenal. I would definitely use take a chef again!

Chef Marco was exceptional. We hosted a private dinner party for my Husband's surprise birthday, and Chef Marco was available to me during all the advance planning and discussions. His food was beyond what we were expecting, every single guest (including some picky eaters) were delighted. Not only that, but Chef was super nice, professional, and made the entire night a 10/10. Could not recommend more highly!

Marius was very professional from start to finish. His communication was brilliant, and for filled every request/tweak that I had without any issues. After arriving on time at our venue he just cracked on and prepared our food with no issues at all. The food was absolutely delicious, we couldn’t fault anything. His service was great too and left the kitchen is immaculate condition. I would highly recommend Marius!

Chef Pasquale and his team did such an incredible job for my mom's birthday dinner. We all could not believe how much food there was, it felt like unlimited courses coming at us and every new item was better than the last. The food was SO incredibly tasty and the experience overall was so fantastic. I couldn't recommend him enough!

We visited Costa Rica for my 41st birthday and rented a nice home and hired Cindy for a breakfast, lunch, 2 dinners, and afternoon snacks and drinks. She worked with us from the beginning to come up with a menu that worked within our tastes and budget. We always had more than enough food for the meal and then could revisit leftovers later that night or the next day. Prep, serving, and cleanup were all taken care of which gave us more time back in the day to enjoy our trip. While each meal was delicious the Costa Rican breakfast the first morning after we landed really got us going. I’d highly recommend hiring Cindy - we would again in a heartbeat.

Bradley is an excellent chef. He if friendly and efficient. His food was delicious.

Chef Romain’s food and service were wonderful, and we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at the villa. That said, we would have loved a bit more explanation and storytelling around the dishes he prepared. The chef's assistant serving us was very pleasant, though a bit shy and not very eloquent in presenting the courses.

Chef Michael was wonderful. Everyone raved about the food. I would definitely use him again!
