Ashley Kepping - Aug 17 2022
I hired Chef Pasquale Frolo for a surprise birthday dinner for my daughters boyfriend. Chef Frolo’s responsiveness to my initial questions left me impressed right away. He was an absolute pleasure to work with. Based on the pics my daughter posted throughout the 5 course meal ( couldn’t stop raving how delicious everything was) to their feedback about how much they learned from him, I couldn’t have been happier. Chef Frolo has proven himself to be an entertaining, engaging and extremely talented chef. I highly recommend Take A Chef and definitely will use again. Bravo!

Chef Nigel was amazing. He went over the menu ahead of time and made adjustments accordingly. He was super polite and very professional. I am pretty sure he left my kitchen cleaner than it has ever been when he was finished.

Does the Private Chef cook at my house?
A Private Chef always prepares the menu at the client's home, as it is an inherent part of the experience.

Can I cook along with the Private Chef?
Absolutely!

Are the ingredients for a Private Chef service fresh?

The main difference between a restaurant and a private chef is in the personalized treatment of each diner. The chef personalizes the menu, and based on that menu, makes the necessary purchases to develop the menu chosen by the customers. Therefore, the freshness of the ingredients is one of the key elements of a Private Chef service.
Are drinks included in a Private Chef service?
Drinks are not included by default. However, you can reach an agreement with the chef in order to add drinks as an "extra" to the menu proposal.
