For me, cooking is...

Being able to bring creativity & love to each dish. Food is universal and having the ability to connect people through food is my love language.

I learned to cook at...

Food has been a love of mine since I was a young girl. It wasn’t until I lived in Belgium, Europe where I gained an appreciation for different flavors

A cooking secret...

Studying dishes and learning how they are authentically made. Knowing what herbs and spices to use to reach the optimum flavor of a dish.

Wonderful menu and food prepared by Chef Esh-Marie. The dishes had great Cajun flavors as well as unique items. The spicy shrimp and grits and Gumbo with crab legs were amazing, and the steak and lobster were full of spice and depth!

Wonderful service through and through. Excellent food, plentiful portions, and kind service from chef.

Chef Esh arrived on time for our dinner. She was very professional and personable. She made special accommodations to the menu due to food allergies and I must say the food was supreme. 5 course meal it was all worth it. I highly recommend her. We felt like royalty!

Enjoyed the evening and the food tasted great!

She was very accommodating. She honored my specific dietary requests for some guest and was flexible with the menu. I loved the added personal touch. She created personalized place cards and menus to match the color scheme of my event. Her professionalism coupled with her friendly demeanor made it very easy to communicate with her and work with her. The food looked and tasted delicious. The experience was definitely a 9/10.

Esh Marie was an amazing chef. She was very personable and we had a fantastical conversation experience. Her gumbo was supreme.

Chef Esh-Marie was incredible. The gumbo was super good, as good as it gets if you been to New Orleans. Will definitely book again!!

Chef Esh-Marie was absolutely amazing. She took so much care in crafting a menu to cater to our dietary restrictions and completely changed our perspective on what a dairy free life could be like. I've never had a dairy free meal as great as hers. The perfect end to our Mother's Day celebration.

Chef Esh-Marie was wonderful and her food was delicious!!! Would absolutely recommend on your next trip to Sonoma.

Chef Esh-Marie and her team was AMAZING! We did an interactive team-building activity where the Chef split us into teams and helped us cooked three courses that were judged. Our team had an absolutely lovely time and we're so engaged in the process. We, of course, enjoyed the meal together afterwards. With the guidance from Chef Esh-Marie and her sous chef, we made so incredibly delicious dishes. We enjoyed Chef Esh-Marie so much! We highly recommend her to anyone. Thank you so much Chef!

Esh-Marie was outstanding. She arrived on time, and made my wife’s birthday a pleasant surprise. Cheese board, Caesar salad, lobster with a delicious chard, and a blueberry tiramisu. I hate tiramisu and it was fantastic. We definitely will be requesting her again.

Chef Esh-Marie was fantastic. She was very personable and came up with a great menu. The food presentation was outstanding. We had an amazing experience!

Chef Esh-Marie and her team were absolutely perfect for our event, which was a celebration of life for my father. She fully understood the kind of "look and feel" I wanted and honestly the beautiful presentation and quality of the dishes was beyond what I could have imagined. There were major stressors for me around this event, but the food was not one of them because I was able to completely let go of that after clearly describing what I was going for, making a few choices, and then signing off on the menu. It was so easy. This was my first time dealing with food for an event in this way. I am imagining that I will come back to Chef Esh-Marie again multiple times in the future when an event that I am planning is truly special. And Chef Esh-Marie is a lovely human being. Her small staff was excellent.

Chef Ish-Maire was amazing and punctual. She made wonderfully flavorful dishes and took extra heed to ensure our one gluten free participant was well cared for. I would use her again.

Amazing chef and loved her food! My friends and I really enjoyed her. Thanks for helping make my birthday celebration great!

Chef Esh Marie was amazing and we will hire her again. She made the experience awesome and we love that she listened to ensure our needs were met.
