Chef Percia was extremely professional. The food was phenomenal. The presentation was perfect, and the kitchen was spotless once completed. Will definitely be using Take a Chef again soon.

We had Coastal Cooking cater our Thanksgiving dinner and it was absolutely perfect. From the gorgeous cheeseboard to the mains and sides, every detail was thoughtful, elevated, and delicious. Beyond the food, her presence in our home was truly a dream. Calm, warm, and completely seamless. It made the entire day feel special and stress-free. We will 100 percent be booking with her again next year. She’s simply the best.

I had Cher Percia for a small birthday dinner with my girlfriends and it was a delight. Food was amazing, her presentation of each course was very good, she was very attentive and making sure everyone had what they needed. She cleaned up kitchen when she was done and left the dishwasher running which was a great help. Amazing food, enjoyed having her. Will definitely recommend her.

We really enjoyed our experience with Percia. She was discreet and behind the scenes during preparation but was very engaging and nice during the meal. She packaged all our leftovers with everyone’s names. She was also just fun to be around! The food was great. Overall a great experience.

Chef Percia was amazing! She prepared a four course meal for our extended family gathering and it felt like we were dining at a upscale restaurant. The raw oysters were some of the best I've had and the king salmon and lamb chops were cooked to perfection. Highly recommend!

Hello, everyone! I am Chef myself, and I am taking full responsibility for saying that experience with Chef Percia was very very good! She provided absolutely stunning service, very professional, good quality food, very nice space management and communication! Thank you very much!!!

Fantastic experience for a valentine’s dinner

Chef was incredible and accommodating. Food was delicious. Highly recommend this chef!

Percia, was excellent. She worked with us to accommodate a number of dietary restrictions and present a lunch and dinner menu that everyone could eat and that everyone loved. The food was wonderfully prepared and presented and Percia was a pleasure to have in the house. We would highly recommend Percia and have her to our house again.

Chef Percia was easy to work with in planning our special dinner. She was clear about when she needed me to make my menu selections by, and when she would arrive to set up. She was punctual and engaging as she set things up. Then she was very professional while serving us, explaining each dish as she served it. The food was amazing and plentiful. Would love to work with Chef Percia again!

Engaging and professional.

Chef Percia went above and beyond to make my event so special. The menu was incredibly delicious and thoughtful. Will be hiring her again!

Holy cow! Chef Percia was just amazing! I recently hired her for our small elopemrnt (12 people) and cannot emphasize enough how easy it was to work with her. She was very clear about pricing, was flexible about menu changes and quick to respond to my questions. The food and service was incredible! She genuinely cared about the food and making our day as special as she could! It’s been almost a month and I’m still thinking about that meal!

Chef Percia was so amazing, we had her come to Port Angeles from Seattle for our Elopement dinner. The details, presentation, and the dishes themself were absolutely perfect. When she left, it was like nobody was ever there cooking in our kitchen, it looked immaculate. We loved having her as a part of our special day! 12/10 recommend booking.

Chef Percia was fantastic! Her menu was perfect, everything was delicious, and she was super patient with our 4 dogs. Will definitely hire her again!

Chef Percia was excellent! She communicated very well with me about pricing, expectations, timelines, etc. She offered me additional services/options based on our conversations, with clear add-on pricing so that I could make an informed decision. She was very discrete, as this dinner was a proposal, and she was willing to help me with some accommodations for that part of the evening. The food was overall excellent and the kitchen was left in perfect condition! My only criticism would be that I think the ahi tuna tartare could benefit from some kind of cracker or toast vehicle, but that's just a personal preference.

Chef Percia and her staff gave us a wonderful experience for a birthday dinner, meeting us out at Snoqualmie Pass with an incredible seafood tower and charcuterie board and a delicious multi-course menu. Everybody loved the food and the service and the entire process was smooth from start to finish as Chef Percia responded quickly to my questions and was very accommodating, and after all was done the kitchen was cleaner than when we started.

We hired Chef Percia for a small family celebration for a 60th wedding anniversary dinner. She was easy to work with in advance of the event and wonderful on the night of. I highly recommend Chef Percia and the Take A Chef platform.

Had the most lovely, comfortable and tasty evening procured by Percia. Highly recommend.

Chef Percia prepared a delicious meal and we loved the whole experience. This was a gift from our daughter and I would definitely have Percia come to our home again.
