DJ was an amazing chef! He came to our Airbnb in Colorado and cooked a delicious meal. He was professional, polite, and knowledgeable. He gave us options for different cuisines and then worked with us to customize a menu we would enjoy. I highly recommend him and would definitely use him again when we are back in the area!

Chef Zandro curated an incredible four-course dinner with wine pairings for my birthday celebration in Rio, and the entire experience was amazing from start to finish! We began with a surprise appetizer featuring steak tartare and seafood bruschetta, followed by a tropical ceviche that was absolutely delicious—fresh, vibrant, and full of flavor. For the main course, we had filet mignon with mushroom risotto, which was perfectly prepared and easily one of the highlights of the evening. We finished with tiramisu for dessert, and it was the perfect ending to an incredible meal. The wine pairings complemented each course beautifully. I especially appreciated how accommodating Chef Zandro was for one of my best friends who is vegan. He thoughtfully created dishes for her so that she could enjoy the full experience along with the rest of us. Beyond the food, Chef Zandro was communicative, professional, pleasant, and truly a joy to work with. Everything was beautifully executed, and the flavors throughout the entire meal were fantastic. He helped make my birthday dinner in Rio incredibly special, and I would absolutely work with Chef Zandro again the next time I’m in Rio. Highly recommend!

We had an excellent experience with Chef Ali from start to finish. Communication throughout the planning process was fantastic, and he was incredibly accommodating in creating a menu that worked perfectly for our family, including delicious vegetarian options for my husband. On the day of the dinner, he arrived right on time, and dinner was served exactly at the agreed-upon time. Every course was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. There was so much food that we even had leftovers to enjoy the next day, which was a wonderful bonus! This was such a special experience for our family, and we wouldn't hesitate to book Chef Ali again.

Tamla was awesome and her touch was excellent and the food was superb. Menu options were great. I would highly recommend Tamla and would wholeheartedly engage Tamla again.

Chef Enoch and his team were fantastic! The food was amazing. Each member of my family (who are very picky eaters) were extremely impressed. They were so kind, easy to work with and we had a really incredible day thanks to them as they handled all our meals. The meals were so fresh and full of flavor. Would highly recommend to everyone!

We had a small family dinner in South Lake Tahoe. Noel and his assistant Cathy were great. The group had a fair numbers of food allergies and they accommodated them all. The food was excellent and we have lot of leftovers. Would definitely use them again.

Sergio and Susannah arrived on time and kept the kitchen clean and tidy during the prep, the food was all delicious and had really generous portions. They were extremely attentive and made menu amendments where we requested. They left leaving the kitchen absolutely spotless!

Ann was very pleasant and obliging. The food was delicious and well presented. Yes, we would use her again.

Chef Nicolas did such a wonderful job! We had him for my birthday dinner and he made it such a great experience, the food were amazing and the vibes were even better! He even gave us extra drinks and were very cooperative. He gave us such a good deal as well, we were very very impressed, definitely recommend him!!!!

I didn't expect what my clients received during the 3-day private chef experience. The food and service were elevated to the next level. Vanessa was very careful to find out every detail the clients requested, wanting to be sure there would be no mistakes. When we received the menus, they already sounded perfect. The preparation, the sourcing of the highest quality ingredients, and the care shown meant my clients were pampered with excellent food — made with love, experience, taste, and beauty. I recommend this couple, you can be sure, all will be just perfect!

Maria and Jill were wonderful. Maria worked with me to adjust the menu to the needs of my party and Jill was friendly and engaging during dinner service. Started the first night of my girls trip in Napa off beautifully.

Chef Cris and her team went above and beyond for our event. The food was delicious, service was great, I could not have asked for a better team!

O Chef Benjamin foi extremamente solicito e ajudou a tornar o pedido de casamento num momento inesquecível!

Antonio and Tania were a fantastic duo for our dinner party, they were attentive and knowledgeable during the planning phases of the day and brought incredible energy with them on the day of the booking. I could not have asked for a better experience for me and my guests.

Chef Renzo was very professional, and flexible with our requests for the menu. The presentation and taste of the each dish was delicious!! Would definitely recommend.

Unser Abend mit Chef Damnjan war einfach unvergesslich. Vom ersten bis zum letzten Gang war jedes Gericht hervorragend zubereitet und mit viel Liebe zum Detail präsentiert. Man hat in jedem einzelnen Teller seine Leidenschaft, Kreativität und sein aussergewöhnliches Können gespürt. Nicht nur das Essen war auf höchstem Niveau, auch Damnjans herzliche, professionelle und sympathische Art hat den Abend zu etwas ganz Besonderem gemacht. Er hat eine entspannte und gleichzeitig exklusive Atmosphäre geschaffen, sodass wir jede Minute geniessen konnten. Wir werden noch lange von diesem einzigartigen Erlebnis schwärmen und können Chef Damnjan jedem von Herzen empfehlen. Vielen Dank für diesen aussergewöhnlichen Abend, wir hoffen sehr, dich irgendwann wieder als unseren Privatkoch begrüssen zu dürfen!

We have used take a Chef many times and our experience at Rosemary Beach was the best yet! All of the chefs have been incredible, but David Cunningham was a master in his class… The food was absolutely delicious and we were all delighted and amazed by everything.

We had an amazing night. Four couples (and seven kids) completely serviced and impressed by Stephanie’s service. Great food, very nice stories. And everything well balanced. Would absolutely recommend Stéphanie. It’s an unique opportunity to have such an experienced chef around.

Justine est top! Pro et sympa :) Repas excellent! Merci encore!
