I found Eat Your Heart Out Edibles after a long search on the internet for someone to come and replace our previous personal chef who had moved on to other pursuits. Absolutely the best decision we could make. Angela is a motivated, inspired, and a very creative chef. Her menu is vast and ever changing. She caters to all types of diets and is very flexible with scheduling when it's time for a cook date. Angela handles all of the grocery purchases, brings her own pots, pans, and utensils and cleans up everything when she's completed or, if needed, will cook off-site and deliver...very accommodating! Look no further if you're looking for a personal chef.

Don't hesitate for a second if you're thinking of booking Dylan for a private event. My family of…read more8 (+ 3 kids) wanted to celebrate my parents' 50th anniversary in a special way. Dylan customized our menu based on my family's preferences for fresh, clean naturally flavorful dishes and he delivered an epic 5-course dinner that tasted as incredible as it looked. Truly fine dining in the comfort of our Airbnb home. I also appreciated how laid back and flexible Dylan was the entire time - he's a true professional and rolled with the punches. His 2nd chef couldn't make it last minute but Dylan made sure this didn't affect our experience by shopping for half of his ingredients and swinging by to check out our kitchen the day before so that he could maximize his time the day of. The presentation of each course was also perfectly timed, allowing for room to breathe in between and each new course was brought to us hot and fresh off the stove. (Anyone who's hosted Thanksgiving dinner will know it's not easy to time the cooking of multiple dishes at once - I've tried and failed ). Additional bonuses that were meaningful to me: All produce was organic, and the seafood/meat was purchased fresh the day of from Whole Foods (tender grass fed rack of lamb, melt in your mouth sea bass, and truly the biggest scallops I've ever tasted). FYI Dylan is also fantastic with nosy kids who like to ask silly questions and/or get involved in the kitchen. Can't wait to taste his cooking again in the future!

She curated a Caribbean inspired menu that was so thoughtful. We began with papas rellenas, perfectly crisped potato croquettes stuffed with beautifully seasoned curried lamb. They were so flavorful. Next was a vibrant Caribbean salad with leafy greens, dried tropical fruit, prawns, and a delicious honey-lime dressing. It was fresh, bright, and perfectly balanced. For the main course, she served jerk cornish hens with rice & peas and mixed vegetables. The flavors were incredible!!! To end the evening, we enjoyed a refreshing dragon fruit and mango sorbet that was the perfect ending. May I also add that Chef Livi was incredibly accommodating, thoughtfully adjusting dishes for allergies and preparing a beautiful vegan substitute for one of my friends without compromising flavor or presentation. Every dish was prepared with care and love. You can truly tell she enjoys cooking for others and takes pride in her craft. I would absolutely book Chef Livi again in a heartbeat!!!

Cons: Very unorganized, the woman who works in "HR" also works another 9-5 job so i received emails, offer letter etc at 12 am very often. I received client introductions at 9pm. To connect with clients you have to cc the owner and the client., you have to do three way zoom calls and phone calls. Which im assuming is because the owner has some kind of trust issues which will explain my later issue. Once i was offered the job The owner told me my pay, told me he would pay upfront for all groceries etc. i got my offer letter and it stated the total opposite. Never in my personal chef experience would i pay for grocieries and be reimbursted. I didnt received any clients or feedback for weeks. It was a bunch if back and forth i was constantly checking in to see whats next. Once introduced to clients whom i found out had been waiting for services since december the woman in "HR" shared their address and contact info to reach out to them but didnt tell me i had to three way the owner when i called them but the owner tells me why didnt i add him to the call. I connected with 4 potentials in one day. Basically the threw all the people at me that had been waiting for months. There was one couple who wanted to chef services to be done in a certified kitchen (which is ok) or their home. Two days after the interaction the owner CT calls me an tells me they ran a background check on me and decided to take another route.. There are so many things wrong with that 1. How would they have gotten my information to run any kind of background check? 2. A background check was not a prereq for this position 3. You cannot just run a background check on someone 4. The owner was trying to tell me that these random people ran my information which i never shared anything with them besides my nick name So here is the short. The owner is a liar. He illegally ran a background check on me without my consent or knowledge, he lied on the potential clients saying that is was them and they told me it wasnt them. He also tells clients that he requires serv safe for the job etc. which he did not even ask me for( but i do have it). He shares your private information chefs and clients. I have addresses and email etc of clients before even meeting them. This guy is bad for business. Hes a racist and i gave him no reason to even run a random check on me lol. Even tho the things on there were either dismissed or a misdemeanor. CT violated my privacy and this business will mot get very far. After i asked him for a copy of such background check i was ignored . Be careful sharing your information with these people Erica and caster are both responsible. I shared my personal informaion for tax purposes only.
