In 2015 I had a great experience at "Pepe's Cantina" in Winter Park Fl. as Executive Chef. A Mexican restaurant with a Southern Mexican accent and a contemporary vibe.

In 2018 I decided it was time to open my own business as a Personal Chef/cater. Since then I have been cooking with more passion than ever and having the opportunity to use all the knowledge acquired through these years to please my clients.

Amazing experience with chef Jose Baranenko. Every aspect of the meal was fabulous and he was so nice. We all thoroughly enjoyed the meal and the experience!!

From start to finish everything was outstanding. Jose was so gracious - our kids were very interested and invested in watching the food preparation and he made the entire process fun and informative. The meal itself was some of the freshest, highest quality, and most flavourful dishes we have ever enjoyed. From plating to serving to cleanup, Jose was a consummate professional and truly displayed warm hospitality, and incredible attention to detail. Jose is a master of his craft. To top it off, we were very touched with how accommodating he was with our 10 year old daughter who has a dairy and egg allergy. She felt very special and cared for and devoured her specially tailored meal!

Chef Jose and his team were amazing! We had an Italian themed dinner planned. He communicated punctually and clearly. Made adjustments to his offered menu to meet our event needs, including providing gluten free options. He arrived on time, brought everything he needed with him, cooked and served everything to perfection, and cleaned everything up. Absolutely outstanding!!!!!!!!!! Would highly recommend Chef Jose and his team!!!

José was absolutely amazing! He arrived early and came fully prepared to cook the best brunch ever! All of the ingredients were very fresh and all of the herbs came directly from his garden! The crab cake Benedict’s brunch with shrimp empanadas and handmade guacamole was outstanding! Well done Jose! We highly recommend him and will gladly hire him again!

Chef Jose was amazing! He followed all dietary restrictions of the group and made the whole experience incredible. He cleaned everything and we didn't have to lift a finger. He even brought flowers and a small toy for my 4 yr old. Will definitely have him back when we visit again

Chef Nenko and his team were amazing. From the moment of contact, to attentive and consistent communication, to the pricing, to creating a delicious and special menu that delivered excellent flavors particularly for one person in our group who has a serious gluten and dairy allergy- the experience was incredible! Highly recommend!

Absolutely fantastic !

We booked a private chef to make a birthday dinner special, and Chef Nenko (Juan) came through to make it special. The food was thoughtful, well executed, and fresh. We enjoyed every dish and enjoyed conversation. I don’t think you could go wrong with booking Chef Nenko, as it is clear that he takes pride in his business.

10 out of 10! Chef Jose provided an exceptional private dining experience for my extended family of 8 that deserves a 10 star rating! We had folks with some dietary preferences and he thoughtfully curated a menu to cater to our preferences. Each dish was not only visually stunning, but also cooked to perfection. Beyond his culinary skills, his professionalism also stood out where he communicated frequently with me before the dining experience to ensure he creates a memorable experience for us. Thank you Chef Jose for an extraordinary evening! Private Feedback: Thank you for a magical evening Chef Jose!

He was amazing. Food was perfect. We needed to expedite the experience and he was able to make it work without sacrificing any quality.

Great setup!

Very attentive, has great stories. Food was amazing! Private Feedback: it was a great pleasure having you cook for us yesterday.

Chef Jose did a great job for my boss and his team. They told me he arrived exactly on time, was very friendly, and left the kitchen in better shape than when he started (he cleaned and organized for us!). Plus, he and the team were super responsive to all of our questions before this experience. Private Feedback: Thank you SO much for everything! My team is happy, so I am happy!

The Gator tacos were amazing! All food prepared by Jose was delicious, well laid out and cooked to perfection. Jose was very thoughtful with the place and did an amazing job with plating the food, sharing some good stories and cleaning up afterwards. We will definitely be using him again next time we are in Orlando. Private Feedback: Thank you Jose for taking time to provide us such culinary delights. Every dish was a great and the gator tacos were a treat. We will be in touch next time we are back in town.
