We love out Chef!

Chef Valentina was amazing! She prepared brunch and dinner for my family! She was very engaging and charming and I loved how she also let my children help with a few small things. She is amazing! I will def be booking with her again when I come back!

Valentina and her associates were absolutely fabulous and the perfect beginning to a romantic evening. I was attempting to plan a special occasion to celebrate our 54th anniversary. I was at a loss as to what I could do. My son recommended “Take a Chef”. I received several proposals from chefs. Once I decided on the menu, Valentina agreed to provide the exact menu. It was awesome!! My absolutely favorite picture is one of us cutting our wedding cake. I was able to find a designer who duplicated that picture perfectly and in amazing detail. She normally makes bobble heads but nothing like this panoramic figurine. I also hade a cake that matched our original cake and it is absolutely beautiful. I bought her two necklaces, a flower arrangement surrounding our wedding candle and a wedding band in addition to her original one. I asked her if she would remarry me. She said yes and I repeated my short version of our wedding vows. Valentina and her associates helped me surprise my wife and keep her busy as the others helped me do the place setting for the two of us. My wife was so surprised and happy. She said I couldn’t have done better planning and pulling it off without her knowing. She knew we were going to a “Dressy Dinner Out” but nothing like I pulled off with Valantina and her associates’ help. They also took a lot of pictures for me. Paul
