Chef Laura was exceptional! She made my 40th birthday dinner something truly special. She was very accommodating to our group (which can be difficult when you have toddlers and young children). I would recommend Chef Laura to anyone considering a private dinner event.

Laura was AMAZING! From the minute she walked in, she settled all of our nerves and made the environment so relaxed and welcoming. During the process she not only cleaned up our space to make it perfect, but she brought EVERYTHING we needed. We started the process with a clean kitchen and at the end of the night she helped clean the kitchen again. The food itself was perfect. The cooking process was so much fun, and Laura was great at instructing us how to cook and prepare everything. She also provided awesome history and other cooking facts behind the food we were making. It was engaging from beginning to end and I would HIGHLY recommend using Laura for your next cooking/food event!
