    Lobster paella
    Jody C.

    Chef Ray is the most awesome chef EVER. Some of my favorite dishes that he makes are- pulled pork sandwiches, chicken pot pie, paella, and chili soup. Not only does he cook drool-worthy food, he has such an infectious and positive attitude. His speciality also includes baking cakes, cupcakes, cheesecake (omg- da bomb!!!). If you're looking for someone to make you custom cakes/cupcakes for a special occasion, call Chef Ray!! You won't regret it. I definitely recommend Chef Ray to cook what you crave. If you're looking for a personal chef to cook for an event, party, or special occasion- contact Chef Ray!! He makes my tummy happy and can make yours happy too

    Chef Ray has been our go-to personal chef for dozens of events. I would highly recommend him for event catering as well as cooking lessons for private parties. His culinary concepts are always perfectly executed and the food is always delicious. My personal favorites are his famous pulled pork sandwiches, lobster paella and short rib benedict (see uploaded photos). Make sure you save room for his diabolical pumpkin cheesecake!

    I would give 10 stars if I could! We'll definitely be working with Chef Tonya for all of our future…read moreevents. You won't regret booking her! We wanted to host an engagement party for 25 people at home with hors d'oeuvres and dessert bites. Upon reaching out, Chef Tonya quickly responded with her full menu offerings and suggested popular items, as well as what she thought would pair well with our "wine night" theme. On the day of the event, we were in awe of how delicious everything was. She's incredibly intuitive and knows exactly when to take initiative too, which we appreciated the most. We didn't need to direct her on where anything was--she simply found what she needed without interrupting the flow of the evening. At the end, she thoughtfully packaged all the leftovers using our Tupperware and Ziploc bags, making it easy to store or send food home with guests. Some of our favorites from the night were the crab cake bites, baked potato bites, lemon bars, and cheesecake bites. All the veggies in the crudité were incredibly fresh too!

    Chef Tonya and daughter Chef Faye were amazing! They catered the rehearsal dinner for my son's…read morewedding in Cathedral City. This was my first time to hire a caterer, as I usually do all the cooking myself. With my first phone conversation with Chef Tonya, I immediately felt very comfortable that Tine to Dine would do a wonderful job and that the food would be made with love and care. We had a group of 35 guests and chose a menu of small bites. The presentation was beautiful (they even provided a centerpiece!) , there was something for everyone (young children to special diets) and every item was absolutely wonderful! Made from scratch, with good, fresh ingredients. Raves from all our guests! Perfect. My son and his fiancé also used Tine to Dine for their day after wedding brunch. We had the pleasure of a 2nd meal prepared by Chef Tonya and Chef Faye! And all was wonderful again!
