Chef Yasuaki was extremely warm and friendly. His food was great, the taste exceeded our expectations. Overall, this was an incredible experience.

Chef Cilla was professional, accommodating to various dietary requirements and very responsive. We would highly recommend her! She gave good information on the Balinese dishes she cooked which kept us engaged. Thankyou!

Chef Miguel absolutely crushed it for our event. He executed the exact menu we wanted perfectly—everything came out tasting amazing and looked great too. He was on time, professional, and incredibly easy to work with throughout the entire process. Made everything seamless and stress-free. Highly recommend him for any event!

Incredible seafood feast by Chef Ignacio! Our group is still talking about the tuna tartar and bouillabaisse. Thank you chef for making my Miami birthday weekend special!

Amazing. I did this service several times and Paul is on a different level. So impressed. The food was delicious and homemade every part.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Michelin-starred experience in your own living room! I wanted to share my fantastic experience with Chef Francesco, who accomplished a nearly impossible feat. Despite my last-minute notice, Francesco accepted the challenge with timeless professionalism and availability. Here's why I highly recommend him: Ability to adapt: Organizing a dinner at home in such a short time is not for everyone, but he didn't bat an eyelid, taking care of every detail as if we'd been planning the event for months. Food quality: Simply sublime dishes. You can taste the exquisite selection of ingredients and impeccable technique. Each course was an explosion of flavors, presented with an elegance worthy of the finest restaurants. Service: Francesco isn't just a "cook," he's a true host. Discreet, meticulous in his work, and capable of conveying his passion for cooking while explaining the dishes. He was truly brilliant: he transformed an ordinary evening into an unforgettable event, saving the day with a unique touch of class. We also tried his cooking school in San Casciano dei Bagni, a wonderful cooking class immersed in nature, making pasta and enjoying excellent drinks, followed by a beautiful dinner. Thanks also to Villa Vetrichina, the property where the cooking school is located. Thank you, Chef, see you next time for sure! We'll be in Tuscany again in October and will definitely come visit you or call you for another wonderful dinner.

Chef William De Jesus was truly a pleasure to work with. More than his exceptional professionalism he was careful, thoughtful and very passionate about his craft. Every meal was delicious, meticulous in its detail and came with great lessons about the culture behind the dish as well as the ingredients. He’s top notch!

Chef Tielmann was beyond great. The food was delicious and he made our anniversary perfect! I highly recommend him.

Excellent chef who prepared daily meals for my family while in Bali. He was both friendly and talented, catering to our individual preferences as adjusting based on our requests. The food was delicious! It was highlight of our week.

Merci bcp à Gérard pour sa prestation. Ce fut une première pour nous, a l’occasion de l’anniversaire des 40 ans de ma compagne, où j’ai également fais ma demande en mariage. Le repas était succulent et ce fut un plaisir d’échanger avec le chef. Tout le monde a adoré. Nous recommandons Gerard.

Chef Morgan was great. I highly recommend hiring him

Cher Gerson and his team were amazing- it’s that simple. We had a group of 10; 5 adults & 5 kids-he was beyond accommodating to last minute menu changes and schedule adjustments. He made several suggestions to help create options for some very picky eaters as well. We had the pleasure of working with him over 7 meals/4 days and we truly were blown away by the quality of meals and the level of service we received. We loved the fresh fruits, the local cuisine and just being able to interact with him to learn more about the Costa Rican culture and their traditional dishes. It was an experience we will never forget(and will hopefully have again!).

Angi made our visit to Bali unforgettable. We really felt spoiled with the quality, presentation and taste of the food she prepared. She was flexible to do a few changes based on our ask, all what we had was amazing. She prepared a full course seafood dinner for us; we were very happy with all the dishes. Amounts were more than we could finish (and yes; we are big eaters) and she packed everything nicely for us. Thanks Angi, you are a star !

Sam was an amazing host and chef. Booked for our engagement, Sam provided a very special dinner at a very special time for both me and my partner. He was punctual, kind, attentive and most importantly, the food was incredibly tasty and well presented. On cleanup, Sam left the kitchen and cooking area looking spotless. 10/10 would recommend. Dinner was one less thing I had to worry about during the engagement given Sam’s reliability and great communication. Thank you Sam for making a special day even more special

Excelentes todos los platos preparados!

Amazing experience and food and chef

Chef Terrance was amazing. He really curated a unique experience and delicious food for my partner and I. I would book him again as we as refer him.

Chef Elena was amazing! The chef took our idea and turned it into something truly special. The food was incredible, and the whole night felt like a unique, memorable experience. Highly recommend!

Fue nuestra primera experiencia con un chef a domicilio y ¡estamos encantados! Paula es muy profesional, cuida cada detalle y no dudó en hacernos preguntas para asegurarse de que la experiencia fuera todo un éxito. Un placer de principio a fin, ¡gracias Paula!

Cheffe Laure à domicile, un cadeau de Noël surprise mais quelle surprise ! un rayon de soleil qui nous a émoustillé les papilles avec un menu élaboré de produits de la mer cuisinés de façon créative mais tellement sublime! Une organisation parfaite encore merci Laure pour vos talents
