We hired Chef Henry Rivera for my wife's 50th birthday dinner, 14 guests at our home in Princeton. It was a fine dining experience from the first bite to the last. Henry, his wife Claudia and their daughter Sofia arrived early, set up without a word of direction from us, and worked so quietly we barely knew they were in the house. The kitchen was spotless when they left. Not washing a single dish after a dinner for 14 is its own kind of gift. The food was excellent. Passed appetizers during cocktail hour, then burrata with heirloom tomatoes, seared scallops over risotto that paired perfectly, and a beef tenderloin cooked exactly right. My wife has dietary restrictions that rule out garlic and onions entirely, and Henry built every course around that without the food losing anything. Claudia and Sofia set the table beautifully, printed menus at each place, candles, flowers. Our guests kept asking who did it. Henry was easy to work with from the first message: responsive, flexible on timing, and clear about what he needed from us. The guest of honor said it was a perfect night. I'd book him again without hesitation.

Anna was an absolutely delightful presence throughkout our dinner, and cooked a wonderful meal that we all loved. She was very engaging, providing interesting information about each dish and its significance, while also asking us about ourselves and our travels. None of us could agree on a favourite dish which is a testament to how beautiful everything was, and appealed to various palates. Highly recommend Anna for any type of dinner or event you may be planning!

We love Italians, some can come across as rude to Americans. Gabrielle was very kind and just happy to be cooking for us. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Top . Voor herhaling vatbaar . Professioneel,vriendelijk en zeer mooie gerechten .

Danilo was an amazing chef. Even our pickiest eaters loved each dish. He was engaging and informative about each dish. Everyone said that they wish we would have booked him for more meals! Thank you!!’

Chef Huckleberry did a marvellous job for our family reunion. He was punctual, a great communicator and entertaining throughout the experience. We really enjoyed our evening!

This was an amazing experience. Tommaso was amazing both in personality and in food preparation. Was full still the following day had so much food. Absolutely recommend this service and Tommaso to anyone. Thank you for a memorable evening.

Hemos recurrido a Pablo para un evento corporativo muy importante para nosotros, que se llevó a cabo en nuestras instalaciones. Ha sido perfecto, muy profesional, se ve que está acostumbrado a este tipo de situaciones, aunque acaba de empezar como Chef Privado. Su comida es deliciosa y muy diferente de la que se encuentra en otras partes. Se ve que ha viajado mucho y que está apasionado por lo que hace. ¡Volveremos a recurrir a sus servicios! Hasta la proxima!!

Javier was amazing. The meal he prepared an plated. Was the best things I have ever tasted. He was professional friendly and engaging. Highly recommend Javier

We booked Eva to cook a 3 course meal plus appetisers for our group whilst on holiday. From start to finish we had great communication and professionalism and Eva was incredibly accommodating for our groups dietary needs. The food itself was delicious and we loved that each dish clearly had lots of care and attention given to it. Special mention for the cod and pork tenderloin dishes which were incredible. We loved our experience with Eva, and would definitely recommend her!

Nous avons fait appel au Chef Arnold pour un dîner d’anniversaire et l’expérience a été tout simplement spectaculaire ! Nous avons décidé de laisser Arnold choisir le menu pour nous et nous sommes ravis de l’avoir fait. Ses plats étaient soignés, préparés à partir de produits locaux (certains provenaient même de son jardin), créatifs et, surtout, délicieux ! La présentation était également magnifique (il a même fourni la vaisselle et les couverts pour nous garantir une expérience culinaire digne d’un restaurant, chez nous). Le Chef Arnold était accompagné de Leandra, dont le service était irréprochable. Elle a su créer une ambiance chaleureuse et dresser la table avec goût, s’est assurée que nous comprenions bien les accords mets-vins et était toujours disponible pour répondre à nos questions. À la fin de la soirée, le Chef Arnold et Leandra se sont chargés du rangement et ont laissé la cuisine encore plus propre qu’à leur arrivée. Dans l’ensemble, ce fut une expérience incroyable et mémorable dont notre groupe ne cesse de parler. Je recommande vivement !

Giuseppe made contact in the morning to confirm his arrival details. Once here he set about preparing the meal . He delivered a delicious variety of starters followed by an amazing Sicilian pasta dish. The fish course was cooked beautifully and so pretty in presentation. The tiramisu just finished off a wonderful meal. We were a group of 8 and we had a wonderful evening knowing that Giuseppe had everything under control. Thank you for a truly fabulous experience

We had a wonderful experience with Teodoro for our family dinner at home. The food was delicious and beautifully presented, and Teodoro was very flexible and accommodating to our wishes and preferences when preparing the menu. Everything was very well organised and the service was friendly and professional. It was especially nice to be able to relax and enjoy the evening with our family while everything was taken care of. Overall, a lovely experience that made our evening very special. We would definitely book again!

Chef Enrica was punctual, kind, warm, a good communicator. Everything about my experience with Take a Chef and Enrica was smooth and stress free. Her food was delicious, well described to her guests and she even let us film her cooking. My favourite was her seabass and tiramisu. It was by far my favourite meal of the trip. Enrica, you made my friends birthday very special. Thank you x

Irene es una chef que sabe lo que hace, cercana, profesional y atenta. Facilita la experiencia y la cocina esta espectacular. Un 10 de 10.

Fabio and his food was amazing. He was friendly, polite and very easy to talk to. His food was incredible - full of flavour and presented so well. He cleaned our kitchen until it was pristine. I would so highly recommend Fabio to help create an amazing dining experience.

All perfect!

Great chef!

Chef Zurath was fantastic! So easy to work with. His communication was stellar and he even provided photos when answering questions about the menu. It was like magic-he came to our hotel apartment (which had limited cooking supplies) and presented a fabulous meal that included appetizers, a starter, entree and dessert-all with very generous portions. The presentation was beautiful and everything was delicious.

Great food and amazing service! Very punctual and pleasant!!! Clean-up was done wonderfully!
