WHY YOU’LL LOVE a PERSONAL CHEF
Ideal for birthday dinners
Chef Francesca was fantastic! She came to our house to cook dinner for my wife’s birthday and we enjoyed every moment of it. From the preparation of the meal to the delicious food she served, it was all incredible. I would recommend her to anyone and look forward to having her back to our home again very soon!
Elevate a dining experience
Our experience with Chef Daniel was excellent! Not only did he take the time to create a thoughtful menu that paired well with our wines, but he took care in how his dishes were presented. The dishes were exquisite and all in all lead to a memorable night for us and our guests.
Impress your guests
We had a great time having our own personal chef to create a private dining experience for us. It felt like being in a five-star restaurant without leaving the comfort of the house. The chef was amazing. Great food, great company, amazingly unique experience! I will definitely do it again.
