Chef AJ was incredible to work with. And, he prepared an amazing meal for our family of 10 on vacation, near Yellowstone National Park. He arrived on time, brought everything he needed to freshly prepare our meal on-site. From the appetizers to dessert, each dish was hand made, and described to us in detail. The house smelled incredible as Chef worked, and everyone was excited to try the food. Chef AJ answered any questions we had about the food, the ingredients or recipe(s). He was a pleasure to interact with, and shared some of his personal history, solidifying for us that he was beyond qualified. His use of local produce and meats from the Montana area near where we stayed, reminded us that supporting local vendors and purveyors should be a key factor in working with a local chef. Every dish that Chef AJ prepared was fresh, delicious and the perfectly portioned. While everyone was satisfied with the meal overall, there were leftovers also that we enjoyed the following day! This was our first time using a private chef for an event / meal and it could not have been better. We highly recommend using Take A Chef, and if in his area, Chef AJ Schmidt.

Great chef!

Amazing fabulous experience highly recommend Thank you ????

My experience working with Nelson was nothing short of incredible. He is a true professional in every sense of the word—kind, responsive, understanding, and helpful throughout the entire process—and provided exceptional service. Having never worked with a private chef before, I was a little bit uncertain about how things would go. Nelson guided me through each step of the process and made the entire process a breeze. Even when unexpected challenges arose, he was able to work through them without missing a beat. The menu offerings that he presented were all so good it was hard to choose. But my party and I were so satisfied with the menu we settled on. Nelson took us on a culinary journey that we never wanted to end. Each dish was absolutely delicious, presented beautifully. The love and passion he has for his craft comes through with each bite. Nelson was great company throughout the evening too, making the meal feel personal and genuine. I could keep waxing poetic about the guy and his cooking, but I am so happy to have found Nelson. Do yourself a favor and hire him for your next event.

Mike was from the beginning very accommodating and polite in his communication. He created a menu based on our budget and preferences and he was very generous! The food itself was delicious!! I can highly recommend him as a chef!

Chef Fred was simply exceptional in every ways! His love for food and people makes him an amazing artist offering the most delicious plates with the most delightful presence! Unique dishes, divine ingredients and all in a 35 years of savoir-faire like we dreamed of! I recommend Fred for anyone who’s event/experience demands professionalism, delicacy, uniqueness and prestige!! Merci Chef Fred!!

Inmejorable experiencia de la mano de Félix. Sin duda repetiremos para probar otros platos.

Franco and Mia did an amazing job at hosting my family while we holidayed in Deia Mallorca. My daughter who is vegetarian was overwhelmed by the presentation and taste of her dishes. As for the rest of my family we absolutely raved about the cooking, each course was beautifully executed. We didn't even have to pick our menu Franco did this for us we just had to agree it. The whole experience was amazing from start to finish. I would definitely recommend to anyone travelling to Mallorca. AMAZING! :)

Wij zijn zeer tevreden over Mariami. Hele fijne communicatie, mooi menu samen gesteld. Heerlijke gezonde gerechten, mooie ingrediënten en prachtige bijpassende Spaanse wijnen. De avond had niet mooier gekund wat ons betreft. We zouden Mariami zo weer boeken en absoluut aanbevelen.

Food was delicious. Not one bad thing. The flavors were all amazing. Would highly recommend and we will definitely be using next time.

We've booked chef Angelo and Ilaria for our 5th wedding anniversary dinner that also doubled as a celebration of our newly bought house. From the beginning they were very pleasant to deal with and accommodating of my wife's vegetarian dietary requirements. Together we agreed on a menu that would bring back memories from our wedding in the south of France. On the day, they arrived a couple of hours before the agreed dinner time and began preparations in a quiet and respectful manner. The dishes served to us were nothing short of spectacular. Ingredients used were fresh and of great quality. Each dish was well though through and composed to perfection. Portions were very generous. The entire experience exceeded our expectations. The kitchen was left spotless clean. We couldn't recommend chef Angelo enough.

Absolutely wonderful!

Patryk was a gem! We communicated back and forth on the menu and he nailed exactly what we wanted. Came just on time, set up and got to work. Was nice enough to let the kids and I watch, and then wow what a feast! I haven’t had many better meals.

I booked Harry as a surprise for my friend’s 40th birthday, for him and his partner. They both said that his food was incredible and the whole experience, from start to finish, with Harry was amazing. They both are struggling to think of a better meal that they have had before. Thank you so much to Harry for making their evening one to remember. I/they couldn’t recommend him more highly.

Chef Ante and Paula were incredible! They prepared an amazing three course meal to top off our family vacation and it was truly the highlight of the trip. The food was delicious - he cooks a great steak! They were both unbelievably kind, courteous, and warm - could not recommend more highly!

Amazing chef! He cooked for my family to celebrate my parents' 40th wedding anniversary. Great communication throughout and delicious dishes. He kept every commitment he made. I'd definitely recommend booking Dimitris!

An incredible evening. João and his team put together a Portuguese-themed meal for our group that was so well curated, from the first course to the last, that we are considering a second dinner with them later in the trip to try more authentic dishes and get some variations on our favorites from the first night. Professional, attentive, and genuinely talented. Can't recommend highly enough for a group looking for something special.

Chef Lembah was amazing! She was friendly and engaging and delivered exactly the type of meal I wanted for my family. Portion sizes were perfect and presentation was also elegant. Everyone commented how flavourful the food was and that we will definitely be using Chef Lambeh when we are in Bali next time!

Chef Michael was amazing and very engaging/responsive. Created an amazing menu tailored towards our dietary requirements as a group. Would highly recommend chef Michael

We had a wonderful experience with Otar! Everything was very well organised from start to finish, and the food was absolutely delicious. The dishes were beautifully presented, fresh, and full of flavour! Thank you
