Chef Tash breezed into our home and this tiny pocket dynamite cooked up a birthday feast to die for. She brought her soux-chef (her son) and they gave us a 4-course meal to die for. The food melted in your mouth and the taste sensations hit the mark. The plates were so beautifully decorated with such care and precision. I mean - she even made her own butter while in my kitchen !!!!!. Her butternut soup was the best we have ever eaten, and as for her steak... just out of this world. I can only recommend her to anyone who wants to have a home chef experience.

Every thing was very good. It was a tough emotional evening for our family due to the election and we appreciated their kindness. I would recommend them.

Chef Angelo Valerio Was very kind responsive also very fast! Will definitely request him again when I come back to the DR!

Wat een fantastische avond hebben we beleefd. Ik was jarig en nodigde 7 vrienden uit om te komen eten en te drinken voor mijn 45e verjaardag. Zelfs voor de kinderen hadden ze een mooi gerecht. Mooie presentatie, vriendelijk, professioneel en vooral heel lekker. Daarnaast werd onze keuken spik en span weer opgeleverd! Hartstikke bedankt!

I had the pleasure of hosting Chef Derek at my home, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the experience. From start to finish, he provided not only exceptional service but also prepared a meal that exceeded all expectations. Each dish was crafted with incredible attention to detail, rich flavors, and fresh ingredients that showcased his expertise and passion for cooking. The presentation was beautiful, and he tailored the menu to perfectly suit our tastes, making the evening truly special. If you’re looking for a private chef who brings both skill and creativity to the table, Chef Derek is an absolute gem. Highly recommended!

Ainsley was absolutely brilliant! We would highly recommend using Ainsley for your next trip to Queenstown!! She went over and above to provide the most amazing experience for our dad’s 60th birthday dinner. We had a 3 course meal and canapés and every dish was incredible. Adding a waitress was also the perfect addition to complete the whole experience. At the end of the service everything was left clean and tidy, you wouldn’t have even known she’d been.

We had Chef Franco for my husbands 70th birthday, he couldn’t have been more attentive, it was a very relaxed evening and food was served professionally and all delicious, it was alder na bonus not to have to do any cleaning, kitchen was left spotless. Thankyou Chef Franco

Nous avons passé un excellent moment de convivialité aux côtés de Chiara et de son assistant. La cuisine était excellente. Ce sont deux personnes très chaleureuses qui nous ont apporté un morceau de l'Italie dans notre salon. Nous les recommandons vivement.

Connor was just fantastic! Such a nice man, great chef, very easy to have around, cleaned up like a dream. But apart from all of the important practical stuff - the food was incredible! Absolutely delicious, beautifully presented and seemed to just keep on coming. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Connor

Chef Alessandro and his wife Sofia provided a wonderful menu of Tuscan flavors at the villa we stayed at in Crete Senisi. They are a delightful couple who presented us with a multicourse meal that we'll not forget. Chef even paired wine with the courses for us, a task we wouldn't have done nearly as well. Beyond the favors, though, we loved having them with us in the villa. Chef's smile was so genuine and engaging and Sofia's passion for her children and cats gave us more than value for money. We recommend him highly. You'll not regret it.

Georgina was amazing from the start . Hers menus stood out for our special occasion. We adapted a couple of things to taste which was incredible also. We had lots of communication leading up to the event. She arrived as discussed and cooked us the most amazing meal. Explained all dishes in detail and all of them delicious. She was so friendly and very professional also. All in this made our special occasion very memorable .

Chef Joe was amazing! From the minute we spoke on the phone to plan my anniversary dinner, chef Joe was above and beyond my expectations! He planned a beautiful dinner for my husband and me, and he added a wonderful bottle of wine, as well as linens/plates to ensure we had a stellar experience. His food was incredible. I wish I could share my favorite moment, but it was the entire experience that made it so wonderful! Joe is kind, fun and a master at his craft. He’s down to earth and makes you feel as if he’s known you for a lifetime. I will be connecting with him again to plan another dinner experience! I suggest checking out his instagram pics, as he can prepare just about anything! Thank you, Joe for making our 31st wedding anniversary our favorite! Warmly, Mike and Melinda Ruff

Chef Mike came early to prepare our dinner. We were amazed by the amazing presentation of the food. Our party had the most satisfying and intimate dinner in our villa. He and his team was amazing and completely blew our taste palette with his creation.

Pour célébrer nos noces de bois, nous avons contacté le chef Gonnet. Il a su proposer un menu répondant à nos attentes. Nous avons passé une soirée exceptionnelle. Le chef nous a fait découvrir de nouvelles saveurs. Tout était délicieux. Expérience à renouveler. Merci chef Gonnet.

Chef Michael was incredible, excellent communication leading up to the day. He was very punctual and the food was exactly what we wanted and delicious. He went above and beyond to make this special for the occasion!!

Manny was a joy to have in our home. He arrived well in advance of agreed time which was a bonus. We chatted easily about a large variety of topics, some even food related!! The guests all enjoyed the easiness of the evening. Presentation and explanation were perfect. Will definitely use takeachef again. Thanks Manny!!

Chef Mauricio did an amazing job and took all of our requests for what we like to eat into account. He was punctual and professional. Definitely exceeded expectations!

Carla was friendly, professional and the food was delicious!

Amado was excellent. He braved the terrible storms to come up a mountain and put on a feast for 9 people. Would highly recommend him.

Amazing experience ! Definitely impressed and will work with him again for sure. We had an amazing evening. Thanks
