She provided an amazing dinner! Our dinner party of 8 loved the presentation and food. Everything was timed perfectly and she left our kitchen immaculately cleaned. I highly recommend Michaela. She is very easy to work with and provided many menu options.

Michaela fully exceeded our expectations! After her initial proposal, we refined and expanded the menu together. Each dish was exactly as planned, were truly delicious, and beautifully presented. She was able to mix drinks, set out appetizers and have a nice pace as courses came out. The best and most appreciated was that she left my kitchen as clean and spotless as when she arrived! I also appreciated that she not only washed all the platters and bar tools, but she put them back clean and dry. It made hosting a party effortless. I would absolutely recommend Michaela and hope to have her cook for us again soon! Lisa

We had Michaela prepare an American comfort meal for a milestone birthday celebration and the quality and taste of the meal was exceptional. Good variety of menu items were offered and prepared in our home along with excellent services. Loved that she wasn't shy about finding what she needed in the kitchen and I was able to join the guests and relax at the table for a change. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience with Chef Michaela Cornell. Hired her for my mom's birthday dinner and 3 other couples. They all really enjoyed the experience. Michaela was super responsive from the beginning, flexible with her menu options she provided and a great chef/host for the dinner itself. Would highly recommend her!

I had the pleasure of hiring Michaela as our private chef for Valentine's Day, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. She arrived punctually, exuding professionalism and friendliness. Not only did her meals look and taste divine, but she also took the time to engage with us, explaining each dish with enthusiasm. What impressed me most was her attention to detail, as she ensured the kitchen was spotless before departing. Michaela's dedication to her craft and her clients is evident, and I wholeheartedly recommend her services. For anyone seeking a culinary delight, I highly recommend checking out “Take a Chef”, with a special emphasis on booking Michaela.

Chef created delicious courses and was a breeze to work with. We had two little ones at our dinner party, so we were juggling babies during our meal, but Chef made sure everything went smoothly.

**Review for Michaela Cornell, Personal Chef** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Having Michaela as the personal chef for our intimate dinner party was an exceptional experience. She brought a delightful blend of professionalism and warmth to our evening. Not only was her presence respectful and unobtrusive, but the kitchen was also left in impeccable condition, which is a testament to her meticulousness and dedication. But the star of the evening, without doubt, was the food. Each dish was a delightful exploration of flavors, showcasing recipes we had never encountered before. Her culinary skills are matched by her passion for introducing her clients to new and exquisite tastes. I would highly recommend Michaela to anyone looking to elevate their dining experience.
