Chef Melissa's reviews
The dinner prepared by Chef Melissa was amazing. It was far superior to any restaurant we've eaten at in the Cochella Valley! I would absolutely recommend her if there is a special meal you are planning!

My friends and I came to Palm Springs for a girls weekend and hired Chef Melissa for a private dining experience. Her and her staff were super professional and accommodating. I have celiac disease, so Chef Melissa made a menu that was all gluten free ingredients and made sure the kitchen preparation was free from any contamination. The food was beautifully prepared and tasted amazing. I loved how knowledgeable Chef Melissa is and how she explained what she made for us. The server who worked with her really made us feel like we were eating at a restaurant but in the convenience of our own home. She took care of all our dishes, silverware, water, and served us wine. I highly recommend booking your private Chef experience with Chef Melissa!

Melissa did a fantastic job working with us to create a menu that we loved and on short notice. The presentation was top notch, food delicious, and she was professional while also engaging. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a private chef that takes pride in her work and delivers.

Chef Melissa was wonderful! I booked her last minute and she was responsive and professional. She worked with me to craft a perfect menu. She showed up on time, cooked us a perfect meal, and left our home spotless. I would highly recommend her!!
