Chef David was so professional and at the same time personable he also helped us customize a menu…read morethat satisfied everyone. I did a lot of research in finding a private chef, and I found him different in the fact that other chefs had other people come to the house whereas David appeared himself and gave that personal touch - in my research, the other chefs would bring the food and have some of their staff serve it, whereas Chef David prepared everything fresh and cooked it to perfection- It was all done in a timely manner, and he not only prepared, but cleaned up afterwards - I will always use him in the future and can't wait to plan another event for family and friends. Thank you, Chef David.

This year we hired Chef David to come to our vacation rental in Nokomis to create three dinners every other night during our week there. He worked with us to develop an amazing menu for each of the three meals, arrived with all the ingredients, prepared and beautifully plated each course (appetizer, salad, main and dessert), and left the kitchen spotless. A delicious experience! When we come next year we hope we can work with him again. He is a gem!

a day ago I have…read morebeen using Chef Mike's meal delivery service for about 3 weeks, and I get 5-6 dinners a week. I'd give him a rating of 6 out of 5 if I could. His meals are invariably nutritious, delicious , and attractively presented. There is plenty of food for a filling dinner for one. It is like going to a good restaurant each night. All I have to do is go to my refrigerator, pick out what I want and heat it up in the microwave for about 2.5 to 3 minutes right in its own container. There is a menu of 4 different dishes for each night, and the menu changes weekly. He offers touchless delivery at no additional cost right to doorstep each day M-F. I have tried a number of the national meal delivery services like Freshly. Chef Mike beats those by a country mile. Try them for a week. I am confident you'll be hooked.

I also have attended one of his cooking classes which was awesome and not only did I learn how to make a great curry but we got plenty of food to eat and take home. I'd recommend Chef Mike for any function or event.

Chef Rae prepared an Asian cuisine cooking class for six people in my home recently. When she…read morewalked in the door she sparkled with enthusiasm carrying everything that was needed (which is a lot) for a well prepared gourmet meal. We could be involved as much as we wanted or simply sit back, watch and be served. She also gave me great pointers on improving my Asian cooking too. Here's a sample of the menu; Starter - roasted farmers market Florida winter vegetables with nori vinaigrette & izakaya style chicken thigh skewers (momo) Main - broiled salmon with japanese sake marinade, served in a dashi broth with leeks, carrots and spinach Side - Vietnamese rice noodle vegetable salad with Nuoc Chom vinaigrette and herbs Lucky for me there were some leftovers but not much ! She is delight to around and her energy is irresistable. Communication and coordination prior to the event was excellent and put us at ease. I understand you can also see her work and buy prepared meals at the Artisan Cheese Shop on Central. If you ever are in need of a great dinner party or gourmet event Chef Rae is the best.

The BEST all-around meal we've EVER had... and we are hard core foodies! Chef Melissa is professional and truly an expert in the kitchen mixing wonderful flavors and textures to make the meal outstanding. Working with Chef Melissa was super easy before we arrived to the island. I communicated with her via email with her responses to all emails easily within the hour. She is VERY attentive to her customers and communicates very clearly her needs and expectations on coming into the home to cook. I cannot wait to hire her again to cook for us the next time we're in the area! You will NOT be disappointed! Trust her and she will create the most exquisite menu around!

I reached out by email and was directed to the company's website. After looking through it, I…read moreshared some constructive feedback because, in my opinion, it didn't seem customer-ready. Instead of being open to the feedback, the response was immediately defensive. When we spoke, I was also surprised by how expensive the pricing was. While everyone is free to charge what they believe their services are worth, customer service should still be professional and welcoming. Unfortunately, I was met with an attitude from the very beginning of our conversation, which made the entire interaction uncomfortable. Because of that experience, I decided not to book. My family has hired private chefs for every vacation we've taken in Florida, and we've always had wonderful experiences. First impressions matter, and this one left me feeling completely turned off before we even had a chance to discuss the menu or the event.
