Chef Vanessa was stellar. I cannot recommend her enough. Our first call to discuss the menu to our family reunion dinner was enjoyable and gave me confidence that the night would go smoothly. She completely understood our palettes and accommodated our food intolerances (gluten and dairy). She was prompt and communicative throughout the weeks leading up to our event. In addition to her professionalism she was warm and her cooking was phenomenal. It was the best meal we had during our 5 day trip to Savannah. Would definitely use her again! Thank you, Chef Vanessa! read more

Vanessa did an amazing job catering our wedding in September 2017. She oversaw the menu and cooking, staffing of waiters and bartenders, and flower arrangements at our outdoor wedding in the Pacific Palisades. She did a phenomenal job coordinating to build an outdoor kitchen in a park. Her menu was perfect for an end of summer wedding; delicious options for our dinner buffet and a fabulous spread at the cocktail hour. She also worked with us to have yummy vegetarian and vegan options. Vanessa's kindness, strong communication, professionalism, and passion for her work make her a wonderful chef for any occasion. We had previously worked with her for our engagement party, and would recommend her for anything! read more

I have never tasted such delicious barbecued chicken and ribs! Seriously habit forming. I wish I could say I had all the side dishes, but admittedly, I did not have enough room to taste every one as there were so many that looked equally fabulous, and I love cole slaw more than anything. I'm sure all of her menus are equally wonderful! read more

Vanessa was AWESOME!!!! Beach burgers and hotdogs with flair! Couldn't ask for anyone better, she was so kind and nice and accommodating. Will use her for every single catering event always!!! Thank you Chef Vanessa! read more

Some time ago I went to a party catered by Chef V. and the food was absolutely to die for. Very creative recipes, tasty but healthy menu choices and amazing presentation... I was very impressed. The friend who threw the party told me that it had been a breeze to organize mostly because Chef V. was so easy to work with and very proactive in suggesting menu ideas and accommodating dietary restrictions. After that experience, I have on occasion hired Chef V. to cook for my family. I could not be more pleased with her services. The meals she prepares are nutritious and varied, and after she leaves my kitchen is immaculate. Highly recommended! read more

I used Chef Vanessa to cater a 30-person baptism reception this spring and I can't say enough great things about her! The planning process was so easy, her pricing was extremely competitive, and the food was amazing! My guests gave her rave reviews, and I do, too! Vanessa came to our house while we were at church, set everything up (she rented dishes and silver for me) and had it ready to go when we arrived home. Her timing with the appetizers, main dishes and desserts was impeccable, and she moved around my kitchen and operated my challenging oven like a consummate professional. She cleaned up afterwards, including rinsing and taking the dishes and silver back with her. She made the whole event so easy for me, and for once, I was able to enjoy my own party! I can honestly say that having Cher Vanessa cater my event was the best party-planning decision I have ever made! I will - for sure- be using her again! read more

Rarely do you find a chef who puts their whole heart and soul into their food; when you try chef Vanessa's food, you know she is sharing her passion with you, and not just cooking for a 'job'. And you taste that in every bite. There's always a new creative dish to try, or classic favorites of course. And definitely do yourself a favor, and try her Mauritian cuisine, because you'll want to eat it for every meal from then on. Whatever the occasion (party, special function, or even just weekly meals), you'll always be left with a wide smile and a full belly! read more

Wow! If you want someone that is super creative, makes amazing food and will make you look outstanding to your guests, then please hire Chef Vanessa. She catered a reception for us and I had no idea what I wanted. I'd never heard of "heavy Hors d'oeuvres" (in lei of a sit down meal) before and it ended up being the perfect size for our needs. We love to travel and she created a travel theme with the food of various countries all over the world. She even had some noodles in a Chinese food box and served them with chop sticks - so cute and delicious. Vanessa is kind, professional and a genius with food. I can't say enough good things about her. read more

Her timing is impeccable and she will leave your kitchen immaculate. Her calming, soothing presence allows me to enjoy our parties and gives me time to visit with my guests. I never had to worry about anything once Vanessa shows up. Vanessa is the one to call for your next event. read more

I found Chef Vanessa through YELP and I am so happy I did!! Vanessa catered my husband's birthday party at our home this weekend, and it was fantastic! After interviewing about 6-7 caterers and looking at their proposals, I chose Vanessa because her menu both coherent, interesting and delicious (not "trying too hard" to be weird or unusual). I'm allergic to wheat, soy and sesame, so, instead of having just a couple of things I could eat, she went with a Mediterranean-style buffet and amazing passed hors d'oeuvres. Plus plenty of meat-free options for our vegetarian friends. Everyone raved about the food from beginning to end. And she and her staff did a fantastic job putting it all together in our small kitchen, maximizing the space and cleaning up beautifully as they went. She even reminded me when it was time for cake and her servers helped cut and serve our cake and pour and serve champagne for toasts. I felt so taken care of! I would definitely hire Chef Vanessa again! read more

Chef Vanessa is wonderful! I found her on Yelp and decided to hire her because of all of the great reviews.

My guests raved about the food (especially the filet mignon) and everyone wanted her business card. She made the entire experience easy for me from start to finish. She suggested terrific menu options and worked with me to come up with a delicious healthy menu. Chef Vanessa was professional, nice and an absolute pleasure to work with.

This is my first Yelp review but Vanessa was so great I had to do it. The whole experience was a pleasure. I found her thru Yelp, we talked and she sent me a sample menu. We talked again and then she made a few modifications to better accommodate my gluten-free and vegan guests. It was so easy. She arrived early and had everything ready when and as needed. The helper she brought was INCREDIBLY helpful. The food was superb and my guests were full of compliments. In many ways, Vanessa went above and beyond my expectations. I cannot recommend her highly enough. She made me a guest at my own party! It was a great experience and I found her prices reasonable. read more

Vanessa has prepared some amazing meals for us! We have been using her personal chef service for several years now for holidays, family gatherings, BBQs and many more. Where to begin - the food tastes amazing! Wonderful blend of flavors and every dish is literally a masterpiece. The instructions provided for re-heating etc are easy to follow and everything is well-labeled. Vanessa is a delight to have in our home as well, and leaves everything clean. I couldn't ask for a better experience from a mobile chef and would recommend Vanessa without reservation. Nicole D. read more

I have used Chef Vanessa on two separate occasions; the first time when a friend lost his wife and the second time when I brought my baby home from the hospital. The first time I worked with Vanessa, I ordered food to be delivered to a friend's house. He had just lost his wife and a few of us figured that having some homemade food in the house was the only way he'd eat. We also thought it would be good to have food for guests who came to pay their respects. Vanessa worked up an affordable menu with all sorts of yummy items and delivered it to his door. He was thrilled and Vanessa's food got rave reviews from friends. Most recently, I had Vanessa deliver four nights worth of dinners after my daughter was born. I wasn't eating and having her wonderful meals in my fridge - ready to heat - made all the difference! Her menu is varied, healthy and creative. The food was wonderful! All of it! As soon as I'm working again, I'm going to have her cook for us twice a week! read more

Wow - Chef Vanessa was fantastic. I found her here on Yelp, contacted her less than a week before my event which happened to be on New Year's Eve, and made all the arrangements by email. She and her staff arrived when they said they would and were incredibly helpful and friendly. The food was so good, we ate all the leftovers the next day. I would recommend her and use her again!! read more

Vanessa is a gift! I blindly hired her from Yelp for our annual holiday dinner with 60 people, catered in our home. She helped make it a complete success -- the food tasted great, food was presented beautifully and the night went off without a single hiccup. She worked with my menu and desires. Not only is she a very talented chef but she is the consummate professional -- she was responsive, timely, courteous, thorough, extremely kind, patient and calm. An absolute delight. I can't thank her enough and look forward to working with her every year. read more

When my mother passed away, my father was at a loss in the kitchen. He had never done much cooking for himself. I was worried about him eating properly, so I hired Chef Vanessa Bathfield to fix him an assortment of meals that could be on hand in his freezer. She was extremely helpful and accommodating! He chose from her extensive list of entrees, and was able to eat well for weeks at a time. He raved about her food, and I felt so much better knowing he was getting healthy, nutritious, and delicious meals. read more

Vanessa is amazing! She's worked as a personal chef for my family for years and she is, in all respects, beyond compare. Amazing food, fantastic personality and more than happy to work around all sorts of dietary restrictions. I cannot recommend her highly enough - she is absolutely first class. read more

Chef Vanessa took care of our family when we desperately needed an extra pair of hands to help with one of our essential needs - food! She was always attentive, courteous, on time, reliable, and kind. She lovingly planned our meals for us each week and took in to consideration my dietary and special needs (I'm gluten intolerant and an anosmiac - so no walk in the park for a chef!). She's very communicative, very understanding, and always eager to please and make sure the food is the best possible experience she can provide. I've recommended her to several friends and given her services as a gift to new moms who can always benefit by having fresh, homecooked meals delivered with a smile! read more
