A cooking secret...

Chef Celi was fantastic! She worked around our allergies and different meal requests and made two incredible menus and meals for us.

Chef Araceli was amazing! She made the experience very straightforward and easy. She was right on time for arrival and had the meal ready to go very quickly. She explained each dish to us as they were served, and each one was presented beautifully. We hired Araceli for my husband’s birthday, and even though he’s hard to impress, he absolutely loved the meal. I definitely recommend hiring Araceli for any event, I’m already trying to find another excuse to hire her for ourselves!

Amazing experience! Highly recommend! We will be doing this again.

Chef Celi did an amazing job all around. Our schedule shifted due to our guest arriving late and Chef Celi did an amazing job working around our delay. Food was amazing and would absolutely use her in the future. Thank you Chef Ceil for an incredible experience!

Chef Aracelli was absolutely incredible. The menu and food was fantastic. Just an overall great experience!! We would totally hire her again.
