Chef Zach was easy to work with both with menu selection and the meal itself. Very professional and engaging while prepping. Ingredients were top notch with great flavors.

5. Stars!

Our son purchased Take a Chef as a gift for us, we were delighted to have Chef Zach Falcone come to our home and cook for us. I have a few ingredients that I'm allergic to, and Zach worked around those with no problems. He was prompt, polite and personable, and fixed 4+ delightful course Mediternaean dinner, making it a wonderful evening for my husband and me. We would recommend Zach, it's a very nice treat to have someone cook at your home, and clean up!

Chef Zach was amazing. He booked Chef Zach for a family meal, and he not only created a wonderful menu, but was considerate of our food allergies. Chef arrived promptly, created a delicious five course meal with quality ingredients, and left my kitchen spotless. I felt very comfortable having him in my home - he was very considerate. I will definitely be utilizing his services again - book with confidence.
