Chef Kristen was an amazing personal chef! She is a one-person wonder! She literally cooked, plated, served, and cleaned-up everything. She cleans the kitchen! We did not have any cleanup after the dinner party. We interviewed several chefs online and over the phone. We wanted a multi-course dinner to celebrate my mother’s 85th birthday with family. What we liked about Kristen was her willingness to listen to our ideas and then create a 4-course meal around it. Kristen also took into account our food allergies. Our attendee list grew from 11 to 15, which we notified her before she purchased the food. She accommodated us without hesitation. The multi-course meal was amazing. Course 1: We started with an arugula salad with watermelon and with a light and fresh dressing. Course 2: She cleared the plates and the next course arrived; crab ravioli in a cream sauce. Course 3: Blackened-marinade, souse-vide filet mignon with a brown butter-type sauce. Course 4: dessert was a marange crusted blast of flavors. Amazing dessert! Kristen is a talented, friendly and personable chef with a ton of experience. I will definitely be calling her again.
