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!!!

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.

Possibly, but it would be hard. Are we great friends because her food is delicious and she's French? Mais, oui. Did she cater the most important surprise event I've ever thrown in my life, for my wife? Yes, and she knocked it out of the park!!! Seriously, Sylvie is an excellent chef. Her French food is (and my wife and I lived in France) is truly wonderful and authentic. And while she COULD cook frou-frou heavy cream Lyonnaise food for you, you'd rather that she cook the food from where she grew up in Normandy. Truly talented - hire Cuisine de Sylvie as your personal chef or for events. Magnifique!

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!
