For me, cooking is...

For me, cooking is an art form — a way to tell stories, evoke emotion, and connect with people on a deeper level.

I learned to cook at...

I learned to cook at an early age, inspired by the rich aromas of home kitchens and later refined through years of training in professional fine dinin

A cooking secret...

Brilliant, tasty food. Generous portions. Exactly what we wanted. Thank you so much.

Eugene was superb. Arrived on time and was friendly and professional. The food was amazing and presented beautifully. We are so pleased we used him. Especially like the wide range of dishes offered and we could create our own menu. We changed some stuff but this was no problem for him. It made our evening a very memorable. Thank you.

An incredible experience

Fantastic service and evening, the food was such a high quality and the portion sizes were large. He was professional and so efficient, everyone commented on the food and the whole experience was so easy and such a treat! Absolutely would recommend to anyone thinking of booking

We had the most wonderful evening - amazing food, unobtrusive service and the kitchen was left immaculate. I would definitely recommend and will be using Take a Chef again.

Excellent food, great service. Punctual and left kitchen immaculate. Thank you!

Chef Eugen was utterly fantastic from start to finish. We asked for a French style menu and we were able to choose from a variety of mouth-watering dishes. Eugen turned up bang on time and was funny and polite throughout the whole evening. His dishes were perfect, with a wonderful French onion soup to start with, duck confit for main and finished off with his home made tiramisu. I would highly recommend Chef Eugen to anyone wanting to sample the wonderful taste of French cuisine.

We rented a house in Nottingham for my uncles 60th and we wanted to make the whole experience extra special by booking a chef. The whole process from start to finish was seamless and the food was so tasty i would defiantly recommend and book again as it all exceeded our expectations.

Thank you for your service, was lovely and my mum was very please for her birthday

Fantastic
