Très belle soirée avec Chef Meriem. Repas délicieux, tous mes invités ont adorés. Meriem est très sympathique, professionnelle et minutieuse.

Thank you Maryam for a wonderful dinner! Excellent communication in advance of the evening and prepared a fantastic menu, 3 course meal. Highly recommend Maryam and would book again in the future.

Percia was amazing! We had a great time — she was flexible, and the menu was creative and so delicious!

Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Abend und wahnsinnig leckeres Essen von Michael. Das Essen hat unsere Erwartungen weit übertroffen, Michael hat uns mit einigen zusätzlichen Gängen sowie einem kostenlosen Schnaps überrascht. Er und seine Frau waren sehr höflich und freundlich, wir können sie wärmstens empfehlen! Das Dinner war ein echtes Highlight.

Highest recommendation for Chef George Dimitradis! We had Chef George Dimitriadis prepare a traditional Greek meal for our family of 11 and it ended up being an absolute highlight of our trip. The menu and proposal was very easy, communication was seamless and the meal was incredible. We asked Chef George to do things a little different, as we wanted to learn and be a part of some of the preparation. We designed a menu that would allow him to teach us how to make some of the dishes while explaining about the ingredients, flavors, and preparation. Everyone had such a great time and Chef George was not only a talented chef (has worked at high end restaurants around the world and for celebrities) but he was fun, kind, engaging and super informative. The meal was fantastic (I'm still thinking about Galaktoboureko - a delicious Greek dessert), we learned a lot and all agreed that it it made for a very special night. Highly recommend Chef George!

Chef Sarid put together a dinner for six adults and seven kids for my wife’s fortieth birthday. She was awesome, engaging and creative about customizing the menu. She was also incredibly communicative and punctual. She brought a team to help, and went above and beyond in every way possible. The experience all expectations. Best of all the food was epic. Couldn’t recommend Chef Sarid any more.

Chef Ritianne was an excellent communicator and very easy to work with. There was lots of back-and-forth to finalize our menu and she took everything into account that we asked for and was very proactive about it. she was very flexible when we needed her to be as much of our trip was not preplanned, but she could work with us. She absolutely was perfectly on time and everything exactly the way she said she would. we wanted family style meals for our very large group focused on local cuisine and every night she presented us with multiple options for us to get a great experience.

Isaac and Daniella made my mom's birthday celebration a beautiful and memorable event. The food was fantastic and they set a relaxed, fun and thoughtful tone. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

Chef Caila Sims Holmes provided an incredible experience and it will be one that we will remember for years to come. The lobster risotto was next level and the prepared-from-scratch cheesecake was amazing. Highly recommend! Dhru and Kate

We hired Chef Dave for our clients and they reported that he was inviting, engaging and very professional. Our clients thoroughly enjoyed their meal and the experience.

Chef Layla was amazing. She was professional, funny, and engaged with our group. The food and the presentation was incredible! I would 1000% recommend.

Ein kulinarisch herausragendes Erlebnis auf höchstem Niveau. Perfekt abgestimmtes Menü, exzellente Produkte und eine sehr stilvolle Präsentation. Auch der Ablauf vor Ort war absolut reibungslos – diskret, sauber und perfekt organisiert. Der Service war diskret, professionell und absolut zuverlässig.

Chef Claudio is very engaging, communicative and professional. His menus and recommendations were great and we ended up with a perfect selection for our dinner party that the guests all loved, including the gluten-free options. The food he cooked was wonderful and the guests were all very complimentary. Thanks Chef for taking care of us.

Chef Adriana was amazing! 10/10, no notes. Her personality and the dishes were top tier. I hired her for dinner at my bachelorette party and she absolutely nailed it. Everyone loved it.

Chef Paolo was fantastic. He cooked and presented amazing Japanese food for us and made our night very enjoyable. We look forward to having him cook for us again!

So incredible! Every meal she made was perfect and fit our tight schedule. So professional and friendly

Wonderful experience. Everyone enjoyed. Worth every dollar. Do not hesitate for this chef or the platform. Truly 5 star.

Darran did an incredible job and made our weekend. The food was delicious for all courses and the service throughout was exceptional leaving the place spotless afterwards. I would recommend Darran to anyone looking for a special experience and delicious meal.

She was incredibly pleasant and accommodating. She thoughtfully explained each dish and its ingredients, arrived on time, and maintained clear communication throughout the process. I highly recommend her services.

Sunitha was amazing from start to end. It was a surprise for my husband birthday and he loved every minute of it . The food was incredible would recommend to everyone.
