Going to Chef Mary Ann was quite an inspiration! I felt totally transported to Italy with her delicate dishes full of aromas that you can only find in an authentic Italian home. She presented her lessons with her amazing style, and made me feel as if I was cooking with a superstar Italian grandmother. Thanks for such a wonderful time!!

Chef Mary Ann came to our house and cooked an amazing French dinner for our guests for my husband's birthday - it was a treat to have a delicious, chef-level meal provided in our home vs. going out to dinner. Chef Mary Ann was very helpful in connecting before our event to make sure she answered any questions we had about logistics, food preferences/allergies, etc., and the meal was delicious! I will absolutely use Chef Mary Ann again and would recommend her to additional guests looking for an excellent, in-home chef experience!

I hired a private chef experience for my friend's bachelorette party. Chef Mary Ann was very nice, flexible with a last-minute change we needed, and the food was great!
