I coordinated a girls trip to Oregon for MLK weekend in January. I initially sourced Michelle on…read moreYelp through my research to hire a personal chef for my girls getaway weekend. Upon my initial email, she responded within 24 hours with a request to set up a phone conference to discuss the details of my event and my group's dietary preferences. Within the next couple weeks, we spoke by phone and she was asked many questions about the group, the event, meal preferences, etc. We spoke so long the conversation become very personable and I then explained to her that I was looking at other chefs, as well. She emailed me within 48 hours a nice menu including appetizers and dessert. I was very impressed. I had two ladies within my group whom were vegans and vegetarians and she ensured our meal would work to their palette. When I made the decision to work with Michelle, the professionalism continued. Me and Michelle kept in contact and right up to the event to confirm the menu details, the deposit, etc. On the day of our dinner, we entered the home and the aura of the food and the presentation was amazing. We started our meal with a fruit pico de gallo mix with fresh fruit that was absolutely devine. She also arranged a charcuterie board with fresh hummus, variety of cheeses and crackers. There was also a salsa tray with blue chips, fresh made guacamole and two different types of salsa. Our main meal included tilapia, blend of chorizo potatoes, rice and beans and mix of corn and flour tortillas. She ensured everyone's needs were met and me and my friends enjoyed every bit. Michelle ensured the kitchen was clean before she left. Michelle is a gem to work with and her attention to detail is amazing. It shows through her work ethic, food display and taste that she has a sincere passion for this work. If you are in the Portland area, please do not hesitate to book Chef Michelle for your culinary needs as you will not be disappointed.

I was in Oregon for a girls wine trip weekend and one of my friends found Michelle from extensive…read moreinternet research. I'm so happy she did! While we were touring Oregon wine country, Chef Michelle and her assistant Gina were busy preparing us a feast for our return. As soon as we opened the door, we were met with glorious smells and smiling faces from them both. We started our meal with finely chopped mixed fruit that I would say was reminiscent of a fruit salsa. The fruit was sweet and refreshing. Then we fantastically arranged charcuterie board that had all types of fruits, cheeses, crackers, dips and breadsticks. We didn't know where to begin because we also had blue corn chips, salsas and fresh made guacamole on the table. Deliciousness at its finest! Our main meal was tilapia fish for tacos, a blend of vegan chorizo potatoes and spices for a vegan option, rice, beans and a mix of flour and corn tortillas. When I say all the food was fresh and flavorful and all the flavors just engaged so well with each other, that would be an understatement!!! This was a culinary party at its finest and I'm so happy I was able to have this experience while visiting Oregon. Both Chef Michelle and Gina went above and beyond to assure we were well taken care of and Gina even played shoulder shaking music to keep us grooving while we enjoyed our meal. If you are ever looking for a personal chef with very personal touches, Chef Michelle will not disappoint.

The food, staff, and experience was exceptional, and I cannot recommend Christina highly enough! For rehearsal, we did classic foods--salmon and shortribs, creamy mac, caesar salad, rolls, potatoes. And for the reception, we did a taco bar. Both buffet style. Guests RAVED not only about the food, but how cool our catering staff were as people. As a bride, choosing and trusting vendors is stressful, especially for something as important as food. Christina was incredibly competent, professional (yet still personable), and communicative leading up to and during the event, which eased all of my worries. Her prices are fair, food portions are generous, taste is delicious, and presentation is pretty. At the end of the night, they even package up the leftovers for you to take home. My new hubby and I won't have to cook for weeks! Thank you so much Christina and team for phenomenal cooking and service!

Presentation on point, and flavors were divine. It's so great working with vendors who are team players, and want everyone involved to have a positive experience. You know you hired the right catering team when every guest leaves the event talking about how delicious the food was, and then texts the couple the next day still talking about it! I highly recommend Kitchen Killa for your next event. I've worked with them for both a small intimate dinner party, and now a 100+ guest wedding, and they can do it all.
