Every single week we are blown away by the flavor, creativity, and care she puts into her cooking. Her meals are so good that we honestly no longer want to eat out. The food she prepares for us at home is consistently better than what we would order at restaurants, and that says everything. Each dish feels intentional, nourishing, and beautifully balanced, with just the right touches to make it feel special without ever being heavy. Every meal has been outstanding, and the consistency is what truly sets her apart. Chef Steph has completely changed the way we eat at home, and we feel incredibly lucky to have found her. If you are considering working with her, do it. You will not be disappointed.

I never thought I'd be able to justify the luxury of a private chef service, but I keep this…read moreservice as a lifeline in my back pocket for weeks that we just need a little extra help, like when the demands of parenting and working during a global pandemic seem extra burdensome. So far, we've had three appointments, and they've all been wonderful. For each one in advance, you choose the time/date for your chef, three entree items and three sides. The "sides" is a bit of a misnomer, as you can often make meals of these in themselves. They include salads, hot breakfast casseroles, pies, and more. Recipes range from Mongolian Beef to Shepherd's Pie, homemade granola bars, Thai Chicken salad, etc. I imagine if we did this weekly, the options might get monotonous, but doing it every once in a while works out well for us so that there are usually a few new options that appear the next time we're ready to book an appointment. For each item you'll see an estimate on how much extra it will add to your bill in groceries in addition to the base chef cost. The chef will stop at your local HEB to shop for your ingredients fresh right before your appointment. You pay a $35 deposit, which you can get refunded if you cancel the appointment by the stated deadline (and they send you frequent reminders -- they're not trying to pull one over). On average with tip and the cost of groceries, we usually spend around $225 for our family of four. The meals last us a while. Sometimes we share them with friends who could use an extra meal, or sometimes we freeze the leftovers. There are instructions for reheating, freezing, etc. As stated in other reviews the chefs are generally efficient and very tidy, leaving your kitchen looking spotless, with a huge amount of prepared food for you to enjoy (it's hard not to dive right in). Communication by text is great. During COVID, the chef has worn a mask during the appointment and the service has had very clearly communication about canceling in the event of COVID exposure, etc. I appreciate that they're taking it seriously. If I had a couple of critiques, it would be that whatever process gets communicated to the chef regarding ingredients might need to be streamlined. The past two appointments, our chef has had to make a couple of grocery store trips because he forgot items, and this prolongs the preparation process. I would also love to see a bit more variety to the menu options. It would be nice to have it broken down roughly by type of dish (seafood, beef, casserole, etc.) and price (budget friendly or special splurge). Other than those minor tweaks, we love the service, and I imagine we'll keep using it as occasional customers.

If you're looking for comfort food that hits all the right notes, look no further than Let me…read morediscuss the King Ranch Chicken from The Daily Spread which I drive from New Braunfels every year at Christmas for. From the moment you take your first bite, it's clear that Stephanie, the owner of The Daily Spread, knows exactly what she's doing. The creamy, cheesy layers of chicken, tortillas, and a rich blend of flavors are perfectly balanced. The homemade ranch sauce adds just the right amount of tang, while the chicken is tender and perfectly seasoned. It's a nostalgic dish for my wife and I, yet elevated in a way that only someone with Stephanie's culinary expertise could pull off. What stands out the most, though, is the care and attention Stephanie pours into every dish. You can taste the love in the food, and it's why I make the drive every year. The King Ranch Chicken isn't just a meal; it's an experience--a comforting, satisfying one that you'll crave long after your plate is empty. If you haven't tried it yet, do yourself a favor and grab a serving next time you're in the area. It's a true testament to Stephanie's passion for cooking and her dedication to creating quality, comforting food.

Due to the holidays I was having a hard time getting response from several other caterers. Stephanie was all over it. Very responsive, and informative...even as she was about to be on vacation. On her return she reached out to finalize the details. Stephanie was there, personally, to make sure our event went off without a hitch. She showed up exactly on time everyday. The food was exactly as ordered and there was a lot of it. Was it good? Day one, all the main dishes were gone and when there were extras I had people taking to-go plates at the end of the day. I think we hit all the challenges, vegetarian, gluten free, I don't like pork so I want other options, I hate mushrooms. Stephanie was there to help. Everyday was a different offering and variety was a key factor. When we come back to Austin, you can bet Daily Spread will be the first call we make.

Overall, it was good. The crab rangoon was the standout--crispy, flavorful, and easily my favorite part of the meal. The chicken and broccoli were cooked well, and the portion size was solid for lunch. I did ask for spicy, but the dish was milder than expected. The flavor was there; it just didn't quite bring the heat I was hoping for. This was a delivery order, so I didn't have the opportunity to check out the ambiance, and it appears to be takeout and delivery only anyway. The food arrived without issue. I'd still be open to ordering again and trying some of the other dishes on the menu next time. Sometimes it takes a couple of visits to find the dish that really hits.

IT TAKES TWO TO TANGO DELIGHTFULLY…read more Empanadas! Disclaimer: This is a blog I wrote last September. I still feel the same way! Argentine empanadas are famous all over the world, but if you have been to Argentina or have Argentine friends, they're impossible to miss! I was born and raised in Argentina and as a foodie, I don't go easy on my reviews--especially not on food that I love. Just a few months ago a friend of mine started a catering business, and empanadas are her specialty item. She offers ten different kinds of these savory pastry turnovers, so customers are treated to a varied and very flavorful experience. Last week, she brought a sampler platter to my office that included beef, chicken, and vegetarian options, and my colleagues and I got to taste some unique flavors. A traditional empanada's main ingredient is beef and my friend calls hers "Carne de las Pampas," or "Meat from the Plains"--coincidentally, my mom and dad greBeef empanadas.w up in La Pampa, a province known for its extensive ranches and superior-quality beef. These empanadas are filled with ground beef, onions, bell pepper, tomatoes, and a combination of spices. I really wanted to try them, but they were gone in the blink of an eye. My colleagues were licking their fingers and grinning. The "Tex-Mex" is already a favorite among Tango Delights' current clients since Austinites are used to Tex-Mex restaurants and spicy food. These empanadas are a twist of the traditional and come with jalapeños plus some secret "awesome!" spices. Spinach and Butternut Squash empanadas. My personal favorite ended up being the "Paisana," which is one of the vegetarian empanadas. The ingredients include spinach, onions, bell peppers, Parmesan cheese, more "awesome!" seasoning, and butternut squash. Just one bite had me smiling! The butternut squash in particular made this different from any other empanada I've tried, and it was marvelous. I'll definitely be ordering some of these for my next party! The other vegetarian empanada was the "Humita," and this one has corn mixed with a creamy white sauce, bell peppers, onions, tomatoes and, once again, the secret-recipe seasoning. It was flavorful, rich and left me wanting more. Additional options include traditional chicken, Cajun chicken, cheese and onion, ham and cheese, hand-chopped flank steak, and a breakfast empanada with bacon. A side salad can be ordered as well and it will come with your dressing of choice. Tango Delights is looking to expand in the near future to a brick and mortar location, and I will definitely provide an update for when this happens. In the meantime, order some to enjoy with your family or bring them to your next potluck party--you're sure to be the sensation of the evening if you do!
