Before she left our area we stocked up on "anika food" via freezing and canning her creations. It was a sad day when we finally ate that last jar of carrot ginger soup.

Anika and her cooking are great!!…read more I really cannot say enough good things about our experience with Anika and her amazing food. If you are a busy professional or family who is trying to stay fit and eat healthy, but lack the time or creativity to come up with fun and tasty meals, I would highly encourage you to reach out to Anika. Anika was able to work with some tricky dietary restrictions and make outstanding meals, each and every time. Value wise, the time she saved us in the kitchen, at the grocery store, cleaning up, etc., was worth more than what her very reasonable fees are. All in all, if you have ever considered hiring a private chef for yourself or for your busy family, look no further than Anika!

Every dish was thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, and full of incredible flavor. You made a fantastic breakfast spread and my grandson is still raving about your Fettuccine and Chicken Alfredo. Taco night was so fun and everything was really good.

Highly recommended and absolutely deserving of recognition for her kindness, great food, talent, and professionalism. Ventrice

There are no shortage of great things to say about Chef Josh. We've used him twice now for…read moredifferent celebrations and he has knocked it out of the park each time. In fact, after his latest visit we all agreed we needed to start bringing him in quarterly. Chef's cooking style is best described as transformative. He takes ingredients you'd never dream of being the star of the dish and makes it the most delicious thing you've ever tasted. Our last dinner we reqested to be completely vegetarian and he did not disappoint. Even the non-vegetarian at the dinner was blown away and left being the perfect amount of full. My husband avoids certain veggies in our day to day (texture) and the way Chef Josh cooks - well we've never left a plate bare, I can tell you that much. And when Chef Josh isn't looking.. we may have licked our plates clean. Pickling, crisping, pureeing, caramelizing - everything he puts in front of you "WOWs". Besides the food he serves, which is well worth the money, Josh's service is unparalleled. He is prompt, friendly and wonderful to chat with. He brings everything in and does all clean up as if he was never even there. Whether it's a date night, an intimate gathering or a group to impress - I would recommend hiring Chef Josh 110%. If you're even considering a private chef, look no further because there truly is no better!

4.999 stars. Chef Josh made my 40th birthday party memorable and amazing for 22 people at my home…read more We asked a few questions to start and knew he was the right chef for us right away. He doesn't have a set menu, but sources the ingredients the morning of depending on what looks good and what's in season. We had three or four passed appetizers, a salad course, a grouper / risotto course, and a caramel bar for dessert. Everything was so delicious and all of the guests raved. I have no idea how he was able to cook all of that food for that many people in our home kitchen and make it so flavorful. To keep all of the food at a perfect temperature must have been extremely challenging. Chef Josh was such a cool person also, entertaining, always happy, and so respectful of our home. Thanks so much, Josh. We hope to have you help us out again at our next event.

He was very communicative throughout the process and helped customize a menu that was perfect for my mom's 60th birthday.

We look forward to working again with him for future events!

Chef Nathan was an excellent choice for our private dinner at a short-term rental in La Jolla!…read moreNathan and his team pulled off a great, multi-course plated dinner for our bachelorette group of seven. The theme was "off the market" and the menu matched that perfectly. Amazing produce, beautiful presentation. Nathan was so helpful during the menu development, suggesting surf and turf for our entree, which was an epic surprise for the bride. We really appreciated the lengths they went to source the fish. We were a persnickety group with many preferences and restrictions, and the team made a delicious low-gluten, dairy-free, soy-free meal that accommodated pescatarians and omnivores alike. On top of all of that, Nathan prepared two mocktail bases (fruit purees and herbal simple syrups) for us to mix ourselves the following morning for an 'elixir bar.' YUM. We initially said that we'd do the tablescape, but the Plates by Payne team swooped in and did it all for us. The dinner service was attentive and seamless so I could simply spend the evening celebrating with friends. Our airbnb kitchen was tiiiny, but this dinner was a HUGE win.

Well he did not disappoint, from the appetizers to the desserts, each course was a hit. I am still getting compliments about the food served. I guess the best part of my experience with Perfect Chef was how easy they were to work with, nothing was too hard or complicated. Their staff were efficient and polite and did it all with a smile. Did I mention their cost was less then the other catering companies. I guess my experience was like the other reviewers....EXCELLENT. I would use them again and definitely recommend them to family and friends.

I can't speak to the quality of the product from this organization however I was just driving home…read moreon Rancho Bernardo Road on Sunday, August 23 at 1:40 PM. A service truck with all of the advertising for Flavor Chef Catering was driving extremely erratically, well over the speed limit, and was tailgating me to the point that I was worried they would hit me. I was turning into my residential area with my signal on when the driver of this truck tried to split the lanes and almost caused an accident. When you have all of your advertising on a panel truck, you need to understand that that's just as important as having a good or bad product. I would never use this company and I would make sure that if I ever have the chance I would let people know not to use them either. Driving so erratically that they almost caused an accident is more damaging than a bad meal.

Every other chef I spoke with would only do a 5-7 course menu, which is not what I was looking for. Chef Joe was happy to do 3 courses for us, and all of them were amazing. Coordination of the evening (menu, services, price, location, etc.) was seamless from start to finish, and he was very responsive and flexible any time I had a question or needed to make a change along the way. He left the kitchen of our Airbnb better than he found it, boxed up each person's leftovers if they had any and labeled the boxes for us by name, and even washed our plates and flatware when we were finished with dinner so that we would have them for the cake we planned to eat later in the evening. Not only was the food absolutely delicious, Chef Joe was also very personable and kind to our whole group. Reasonable prices, above and beyond service, and amazing food...I cannot recommend Couch Potatoes enough.
