We got 12 cookies and two pies, but the pies were not different. Her carrot cake cookies were absolutely amazing. That is probably the only thing I'm happy with she didn't offer to reimburse for any of the money for not getting two different pies. Let alone telling me that it was gonna be the same pie. She tell me that I had to find out for myself, which is extremely disappointed because this was a Father's Day gift for my husband when she reached out to me to ask how my husband like the cookies I let her know that he enjoyed them however you gave us two of the same pies instead of two different pies and the only thing she said is like oh I didn't realize it until they were in the oven. It was too late. No that's not how business works if paying you to give me two different pies and 12 cookies what I expect and the fact that you didn't even that were two different pies is not very business conduct like very unprofessional in that manner I will not be a return customer because I paid $40 expecting to get two of my husband's favorite pies and I didn't not to mention these pies are which I don't have a problem with, but if I'm paying for something I expect to get what I for I do not recommend her as a baker, especially her knowing that both pies were the same and she failed to let me know that don't make the same mistake I did. It's been $40 on too many pies that you can get from Walmart for a the same thing with the cookies extremely extremely upset and will not be we were expected to have custard pie a coconut cream pie for Father's Day not a custard not everybody eats

Chef Shellie is AMAZING!! My review starts this way, as she will frequently encourage all those who…read moreknow her to "have an amazing day"! Chef Shellie has provided us personal chef services for the past 6 months and we are thrilled on all fronts. Aside from being an AMAZING chef, she communicates flawlessly, invites and adjusts to feedback, and frankly is just a real nice person! Regarding her chef talents, she is equally comfortable preparing virtually any meal that we request or serving up alternative meal combinations for us to select from. And wonderfully, she prepares delicious meals across wide spectrums of healthiness, genres, and flavors...the quality/diversity of our meals has been (gonna say it again) AMAZING! We strongly recommend engaging Chef Shellie for your personal chef needs! Dave & Jane

I asked Chef Jess to help in hosting a dinner party for my friends and I as we wanted to have a…read morewell planned dinner but didn't want the hassle of going out. After a quick call I relaxed and realized I wouldn't even have to lift a finger. We had personalized menus with the listing for the evenings fare. We celebrated with champagne as we prepared for the food to be laid out. Raspberry almond salad topped with bacon that I couldn't get enough of. Garlic whipped potatoes which were just the right consistency to accompany the main course Creamy chicken Marsala that I had to get two helpings of because I couldn't get enough & I don't even like mushrooms. SN: Make sure you plan for an extra person just in case you want some to keep at home because I sure did Chef Jess is a great personal chef and I would recommend her to anyone who needs anything from a dinner to an entire experience planned.

It's unfortunate that I have to report that a year after a positive engagement with Jess Let It…read moreSimmer, I contracted a PTSO sponsored back to school luncheon for the hard working faculty & staff at our local high school and could have been more disappointed and frustrated having been left in a very difficult position. After thoughtful planning, detailing menu, logistics and payment I learned less than 24 hours before the caterer wasn't prepared with the drinks she committed to in the contract and I had to quickly prioritize run to Walmart and purchase drinks at my own expense to make sure our teachers and support staff had drinks with their meal. Although that left me anxious for the event the following morning I remained optimistic that things would work out. And Jess Let It Simmer arrived in a beat up sedan with 1/3 of the boxed lunches promised and an anemic supply of agreed to vegetarian options - ultimately food for 75 or less after paying for a lunch for 250. Not only was the supply dreadfully short, it was not up to the standard expectations. Thanks to some responsive local pizzerias, we managed to salvage the luncheon at the expense of the PTSO this time, no thanks to Jess Let It Simmer. Although being very embarrassed and frustrated for putting my trust in Jess Let It Simmer, I appreciated the fact that within the next few days, she engaged the PTSO president and myself to apologize for the obvious disaster of an event and committed to make good in a future event. With recognition that we are all entitled to making mistakes, and given her taking accountability for her actions we agreed to consider ways to reconcile. And with that hedge toward forgiveness, we are again left disappointed as we have heard nothing back and had to accept this incredibly sub-optimal and expensive botched luncheon. While we want to be sympathetic to others situation it was important for any potential client to understand our experience and proceed into engagement with great caution!!!!

Nibbles is KILLING ME in the best way possible. We all have to die at some point, right? So it…read moremight as well be by over stuffing yourself with the deliciousness that is Nibbles' baked goods. I just cannot get enough of it. I've been stopping by Robin's booth in Atherton Mill and Market for the past couple of weeks since I've moved to Charlotte, and she has single-handedly made the move worth it. Her quiches, pumpkin bread, cookies, granola, etc... are the best way to start your Saturdays. The only downside is that everything looks and tastes so good that it's impossible to choose. But I'll help you out: THE QUICHE. I just need to take a moment to delve into how amazing her food is. The quiche has this amazing texture that I can't even describe. But I will. It's both light and fluffy, but also creamy in a sense. Maybe it's sorcery? I don't know. The cheddar and broccoli will make you feel so good. The tomato and spinach has a fantastic bite to it; the tomatoes burst with flavor. Her sweet breads are ridiculously moist and flavorful. This morning I tried the pumpkin bread and literally couldn't leave the parking lot because it's amazing-ness incapacitated me. If you don't see any reviews after this, it's because I actually never left. Her prices are very reasonable for delicious, home-baked goods. The quiches are 6 inch pies (I think. I've never been good with estimating stuff) and $5. Personally, it's more than enough for me for breakfast. Everything else is just a few dollars or so. Unfortunately, I'm not fancy enough to be able to afford her Personal Chef services, but if they're anything like her bakery items, I can promise you they're worth it! And if I do ever become fancy enough to hire her, I'll invite all of you to my quiche party. OMGGGG THE QUICHEEEEEE! If you end up going and falling in love with them, I charge a 1 quiche discovery fee. Pay up.

During the planning stages, he was quick to respond, provided excellent menu options, and made the entire process seamless. When the weekend arrived, Chef Aarick executed everything exactly as we discussed--and the food was beyond amazing. Every single one of my 7 guests raved about the meals. Some highlights included perfectly cooked lamb chops, blackened snapper, herb roasted chicken, salmon croquettes, and even a continental-style breakfast that had everyone talking (those waffles were unreal--who knew waffles could taste that good?!). Chef Aarick also went above and beyond by cutting and serving my (very large) birthday cake and pairing meals with refreshing beverages like his variations of sweet tea. He struck the perfect balance with my guests--warm and personable without being intrusive. My birthday weekend truly wouldn't have been the same without him. I'm so grateful for his incredible talent and professionalism, and I will definitely be booking him again. If you're considering a private chef for a special occasion, don't hesitate--Chef Aarick is the one!

I called Kendra on a Friday to cater a business luncheon for five on the following Monday. I gave…read moreher very little direction - that there were two vegetarians in the group, and that was it. She prepared a BEAUTIFUL meal of lemon pepper chicken (for the meat eaters) and veggie pasta salad for the vegetarians. The meal came in four courses: salad (she brought three dressings), entrée, dessert (cookies individually wrapped for each person), and fruit after our meal. She arrived 45 minutes before I did (I was flying in from Baltimore) to set up, and the table scape was beautiful. She brought her own linens, real ceramic dishes, glass glasses, etc. And on top of that, she served us throughout the meal. Basically, Kendra brought the four star dining experience of a restaurant to us (and on very short notice, I reiterate). She is capable of doing both small parties and larger functions such as weddings (up to 500 people). If you need catering in the Charlotte area, I highly highly highly recommend Kendra. You cannot go wrong.

My daughter (the future bride) planned her wedding reception with Chef Kendra of Kraving Catering. She often raved about Chef Kendra's help throughout the process: "She is wonderful to work with! Chef Kendra is such a big help! She gets right back to me! She has wonderful ideas!" I met Chef Kendra prior to the actual wedding. She and her crew were personable, prompt and professional. My daughter was thrilled with the delicious desserts, as were our guests. When Chef Kendra found out how our wedding cake baker bowed out at the last minute, she baked the bride and groom a special gluten-free wedding cake for them! (as a wedding gift to them) It was a wonderful relief to know we didn't have to think about tablecloths and table decorations; Kraving Catering provided them and they were lovely. They were a joy to work with; we highly recommend them and would definitely use them again.
