Chef Ta’shanique's reviews

Chef Ta’ was amazing and delivered an incredible Brunch experience. Chef was responsive, flexible and prompt throughout the whole experience. From the initial contact thru the menu refinement to the Brunch itself everything went flawlessly. The food was superb, and the clean up added to the whole experience.

Ta was incredible. She worked with me to create the perfect menu for a four course meal and dessert. She was Is great at communicating. She was on time. My oven broke the day before and I forgot to tell her (yes i know, im the worst). She still made due with what i had (used my grille instead). My parents were so impressed. Great job Ta

Chef Ta’Shanique was professional, personable, and passionate about her work. It showed in her presentation and quality of her food. She was such a pleasure and we appreciated her.

Couldn’t have asked for a better Chef for my first time using TakeAChef! Chef Ta was amazing! Every single dish was flavorful and well plated. We enjoyed our conversations with her as we ate and drank wine. I highly recommend as i think the hardest part of the experience was selecting which dish to have because her menu was on point!

The chef was very flexible and accomodating during our dinner!

Ta was exactly what we didn’t know we needed. She created such a warm welcoming environment in our kitchen - and invited us to hangout with her or sit at the table, as she brought us each dish. We opted for both which made for such a fun and unforgettable experience. She encouraged us to relax, put on some music, offer feedback and she didn’t let me lift a finger. Such a perfect way to celebrate our anniversary. We cannot wait to book her again and redo it all over! The food was just so amazing, and she is a genuine, kind person, too… making it that much more enjoyable.

Chef Ta' was amazing, blew our expectations away! Would hire again in a heartbeat.

We had an excellent night with Ta‘Shanique! Her menu and execution was outstanding but beyond that, she was extremely pleasant to have in our home and made the night truly enjoyable from a dinner and atmosphere stand-point!

This was our first experience doing an in home private chef event and I cannot recommend it enough. It was the best of both worlds for my husband and I. He who loves to eat out and get the dine out experience, vs me who loves to stay at home but doesn't always want to cook. Our chef was SO thoughtful and dedicated to making sure the menu was perfect, given that we had an allergy to accommodate for. We had such a wide variety of courses to choose from, and all of them ended up being delicious! I am also convinced that my kitchen has never been so clean, it was such a labor of love to not only prep a 4 course meal for us, but to then make sure that the kitchen was spotless afterwards, and all the dish ware borrowed was dried and put away. I look forward to using this platform again for a future event, and highly recommend our personal chef, Chef Ta’Shanique Francis, as she was amazing!
