We could not be happier with the recommendation as the appetizers and entrées were absolutely stunning -- both in flavor and aesthetics! Our biggest difficulty was choosing dishes from his diverse catalog of offerings since they all sounded delicious. He was also very accommodating and made various adjustments to account for particular food allergies that some of our guests had (without compromising on flavor at all). For appetizers, we chose: - Pepper-Crusted Seared Ahi Tuna (Seka Hills EVOO, Sicilian Pesto, Herbs) - Ratatouille Tarts (Puff Pastry, Seka Hills EVOO, Parmigiano Reggiano) - Pistachio Flatbread (Onion, Burrata, Honey, and Chili Oil -- this one was a extra-huge hit with all guests) For dinner, we started with a Local Harvest Salad (Farm Vegetables, Fruit, Vinaigrette, Cheese, and Nuts -- plating was particularly beautiful for the salad), and had three entrée options: - Wagyu New York Steak (Imperial American Wagyu, Roasted Vegetables, Marinated Portobello Mushrooms, Potato Galette, and Red Wine Jus) - Signature Duck (Mary's Crusted Duck Breast, Hind-Quarter Confit, Potato Cake, Charred Vegetables, and Duck Jus) - Roasted Butternut Squash with Cannellini Beans (Charred Vegetables, Marinated Portobello Mushrooms, and Saffron-Rosemary Broth) Throughout our entire wedding and afterwards, guests were telling us how impressed they were and that it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding! He and his team arrived right on schedule, set up (including silverware and plates) cooked and served outstanding food, provided extremely attentive service, and then cleaned up, leaving the kitchen absolutely spotless (while also deftly navigating a brief power outage!). We cannot recommend Adam Small Cooks highly enough! His food, attention to detail, and service are truly next level. Thank you again for making our wedding so special!

Chef Adam was amazing!!!…read more We celebrated a friend's birthday with 6 people at an Airbnb in Sonoma. We had a six course menu (see below for details) that was excellent! For the vegetarian in the group (me) he was able to whip up a wonderful dish when everyone else was eating halibut. Every single dish was a stand out and the group was so happy with how everything turned out. This was a wish of the birthday girl - to have a private chef and to spend time with her girlfriends. She was blown away by the experience. The 6 course meal included: Fried Baby Artichokes: lemon aioli, herbs, chili oil Flatbread: preserved truffle, pistachios, onion, burrata, honey, chili oil Ash Roasted Beets: kimchi honey, pistachios, ravigote, feta Charred Zucchini Agnolotti: fried sage, brown butter, lemon, pepper, parmigiana Seared Halibut: fennel-potato salad, herbs, haricot vert, preserved truffle champagne sauce Under-Baked Chocolate Cake: Italian meringue, Luxardo cherries, cocoa nibs Also, our kitchen was left spotless! Thanks again Chef Adam for giving us the perfect first day of our trip!

I hired Lucy to help our family because my diet has become so unhealthy from juggling work and…read moreparenting. I've tried several healthy delivery food options out there but always get sick of them after a while because the meals are too healthy or boring. The customization of Lucy's meals perfectly balances health/nutrition with taste. She only uses healthy oils, sugar alternatives, tons of veggies and herbs, and she does all gluten and dairy free per our request. It's also awesome to be able to request my favorite dishes and try new ones. I always throw random ethnic dishes at her, and she somehow nails it every time! I work in mental health, and I'm a strong advocate for parents outsourcing if they can afford it. It creates jobs for others in our community and relieves stress, which helps us to show up better for our children. Totally worth it!

Lucy did meal prep with us once a week for about 6 months. She was professional and reliable, and…read moreshe engaged my kids in the cooking process. The food was also tasty!

Lechon pork Sisig - Amazing! Pickled onions was not something I ever thought of to add to sisig.... BBQ Chicken - Full of flavor just the way I expect Filipino BBQ to be. Dessert - Persimmon Babingka - again i do not eat persimmon but the way this was prepared, I wish they were closer to Los Angeles because I would order all the different Babingkas they make.

We were…read morelooking for an elevated experience and not your typical party tray food in chafing dishes from a restaurant. We did family style and the menu included: 2 Appetizers - Lumpia Shanghai and Palabok Deviled Eggs 1 Salad - Ginger Noodle Salad 2 Sides - Coconut ginger turmeric rice and roasted veggies 2 Mains - Salmon and Lechon Sisig 1 Dessert - Haupia Ube Pie The food was really good, and presentation was beautiful. I debated to get a cake but told myself not to. The Haupia Ube pie alone was perfect. I was supposed to pick up pizzas for the little kids but I didn't have time. I was worried about what my kids would eat, but surprisingly, my picky 5 year old and 3 year old ate the food and Ioved it. I had so many things to worry about, but I did not have to worry about the food. I thought about adding more food, but I didn't and I didn't need to. I didn't have to worry about replenishing the food because their team took care of it. I provided some platters and serving utensils because we have them, and they cleaned it all up. They packed up the left overs in my tupperware, and to-go tupperware for the guests. At the end of the night, my kitchen was clean. It was a huge relief to end the night with a clean kitchen. Also, I was amazed that we only had 1 trash bag at the end of the night, and I attribute it to having a set menu and no party tray food. Everything about the experience was 5 star! The food was great. The team is wonderful. No clean up!! I would totally do this again with them (and I'll order extra to have left overs =)).

We had such a wonderful time learning to make dishes we'd not heard of before, better knife skills, the science behind what we were making, and just hanging out with Yoav and his lovely mother. Yoav is a delightful, easy-going, engaged teacher and clearly loves what he's doing. As a result, we loved it too - and the food was fabulous!!

I'm not sure when the surgery took place either before or after the date but I was NEVER informed prior. Thankfully I did not put in a deposit but I did not anticipate on being left in the dust with zero communication especially since I had to text first...Luis apologized and offered a "zero transportation fee" for a next booking. Now I get things come up, but it was confirmed for that month, and I am unsure how my date was missed. I typically don't write reviews, but this was upsetting.
