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. We miss her and highly highly recommend her creative and delicious services to anyone!

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!

Chef Jenn is the BEST! My husband hired her for a private Valentine's Day Dinner at our home. Every…read moresingle ingredient and her incredible attention to detail (can we talk about homemade pickled micro-mirepoix?) was incredible. The quality of ingredients and special flavors and new tastes we got to experience that night were amazing. Plus, she is very friendly and has a great personality - she will happily chat and explain all of her techniques and uniquely sourced ingredients. I'd absolutely hire her again. 10/10. Still dreaming of the pork tenderloin and flourless chocolate cake.

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.

Chef Tici was very professional and honest from the very beginning. I was planning a birthday party…read moreat an Airbnb in Ensenada and was looking for a private chef to host. I came across her business on Yelp and immediately reached out to inquire about a taco bar. She quickly provided a menu and all the details I needed. Unfortunately, I had to cancel the Airbnb and reached out to let her know. She was incredibly understanding and explained that she does travel to the States, but with a slight increase in price. She also offered to provide me with a full refund. After consulting with my significant other, we decided it would be best to wait and book with her when we are in Ensenada. When I notified her, she was once again very professional, understanding, and promptly issued a full refund of my deposit. I truly appreciate her honesty, communication, and professionalism. I'm looking forward to booking with Chef Tici in the near future!

She even brought her own plates, silverware, and cute table runners! The meal was truly an amazing experience all the way around. Thank you chef Tici, I look forward to the next time!!!

I've happily eaten at all her restaurants in San Diego but to be able to have her curate an at-home or in-venue experience is a delicious treat that I would recommend to anyone without hesitation.

From the first phone call, Chef Ty was a pleasure to speak and work with. We spoke several times before the event and he went above and beyond to satisfy all of our event needs. He was on time, the food was served hot and delicious, and he left our kitchen as clean as he found it. THE FOOD - We had four passed around small bites during cocktail hour. It was all absolutely wonderful. I highly recommend the apple and blue-cheese turnovers! I think about them often. The Lamb lollipop was crazy good. The shrimp appetizer was great as well as the mushroom one. Dinner courses were presented so elegantly and tasted as good as they looked. We began with a fabulous pumpkin soup. It was honestly the best pumpkin soup I've ever had. That was followed by a tasty root vegetable salad. We then had Filet Minon over risotto with a demi glaze sauce over it. Wow! It was truly spectacular. I HIGHLY recommend Chef Ty for any special intimate dining experience you are thinking about. Our party was of twenty three people. He made it a wonderful and memorable evening for us. Thank you, Chef!‍ amazing experience!
