Mariana was amazing! Super flexible. A total professional.

Wonderful experience. The food was delicious.

Mariana was easy to work with and provided a great experience for our group. The whole process from menu prep, guest details, and day of event execution was done extremely well. I highly would highly recommend her. Thanks chef!

Chef M was amazing! Especially during the busy holiday season. Thank you again, will be booking her again soon!

Chef Mariana was an absolute treasure during our celebration dinner. She had a quick response time, worked with me on what we were going for, offered suggestions while she also listened to what we actually wanted. I will be hiring Chef Mariana for any further dinner parties, and I would recommend you do the same.

Chef Mariana was absolutely amazing the food she prepared was delicious.

Very good

Chef Mariana is fantastic! We celebrated my husband's birthday with a delicious Japanese meal. Chef Mariana's crispy rice sushi pizza, and creative rolls made the night much more special. The meal was superb and my kitchen was left spotless. We want to plan another dinner really soon so we can hire Chef Mariana again!!

Mariana created an absolute exquisite experience with unbelievable food. She was wonderful to work with leading up to the experience, and her food was as good as I have ever had. I would recommend Mariana to EVERYONE looking for a great Chef experience and would absolutely be hiring her again should I make it back to Austin, TX! Thanks again Mariana!
