Bernice was wonderful and friendly. Would use her again.

Take a chef with Berenice in Puerto Rico was amazing. It not only helped us eat well while traveling, but created a relaxing and memorable experience for our whole family. The meals were delicious, and allowed us to taste fresh, local cuisine we never otherwise would have found. Highly recommended!

Bernice was wonderful and friendly. Would use her again.
