I'm honestly shocked that Cooking with Love/Taylor is listed as a top-rated business on Yelp…read more That's how I found her and I truly expected something elevated and professional. That turned out not to be true. I am not writing this review to be mean, but I do want future retreat hosts like myself to not be misled by the otherwise glowing reviews (as I was). I was excited to hire a plant-based chef for an emotionally charged retreat. We were a small, intimate group of seven, many of us mothers or grieving or simply managing a lot in our everyday lives. I wanted the food to feel healing and supportive. While most of the dishes she made were very good, the overall experience was tense, uncomfortable and absolutely not worth it. From the moment she arrived, the tone was off. She walked straight into the house ignoring multiple signs and a clear area full of shoes. This was a luxurious home with beautiful carpets and she mumbled something about "safety" and "not stabbing herself in the foot" before just walking straight through. I decided to just let her to her thing because she looked flustered, but she immediately showed how little respect she had for the environment. The guests were arriving at the same time and she said something about it being chaotic. Again, everyone is just arriving. I am setting a tone for the retreat and the Chef's energy should contribute to that. She made a big point of saying I should "just tell her whatever I needed." When I did, asking her to please set out plates and water glasses with meals, it somehow turned into a long, awkward text exchange and in person conversation about her not offering housekeeping service. It was such a simple, reasonable request and we are talking 6 people. The whole point of bringing in a chef was to make them feel special and cared for. Eventually, she did do it and it really wasn't that big of a deal - I'm not sure why the tension and extra stress was required. There were countless moments like that. She lectured me about "retreat leaders buying too much food," and insisted several times that I didn't need to purchase anything. She then showed up with barely enough supplies. Only three small boxes of sparkling water (gone by day two), no orange juice because "they don't need orange juice," and a general attitude of resistance whenever asked for something. I am so glad I ignored her here because I would have been screwed without the additional groceries I shopped. I really wish i could tell you where the money went but that's not something a retreat leader wants to be thinking about. EVER. We had planned the menu ahead of time, but she decided on her own to "pivot" from the agreed-upon eggs and potatoes to frozen bagel sandwiches (which took forever to heat and left breakfast and subsequently our schedule, late). Several guests told me afterward how little they enjoyed that meal. She will likely blame the oven but the food was rock solid when it went in. Worse still, I later learned from retreat participants that one guest was repeatedly asked to scrape her own plate and another guest was misgendered multiple times during their stay. For someone offering services in a healing, inclusive environment, that level of insensitivity is shocking and unacceptable. She mentioned that people really love her singing bowl blessing. I really wanted the first meal and the last meal to feel celebratory so I opted for that before dessert. Before going into playing, she gave a tone deaf speech about digestion. It was awkward at best. I opted for no singing bowl on the last night. To top it all off, when setting the table (on the very first night aka celebratory night), she used paper napkins. Now here we are at a gorgeous luxury property with every possible beautiful table item at our disposal. I quickly replaced them with cloth napkins. At a retreat meant to be healing and gentle, her energy was the exact opposite. It was easier to just ignore her and quietly take care of things myself, especially given how difficult her personality was. By the end, I was simply trying to get through it. For a retreat environment, or any setting that requires grace and sensitivity, I cannot recommend her. Great food means nothing when it's served with bad energy.

After speaking to several Chefs in the Sedona area, I decided on Nick based on pricing, his flexibility and understanding of my goals for our 8 person weekend getaway. Flexibility ended up being key because couples cancelled for various reasons and my guest list shrank and expanded several times before we finalized on 4 people, 3 days before the trip. The menu, execution and service were all flawless and we will definitely be using Nick again!!

I could never do justice to the deliciousness and beauty of what she created. Trust me, just hire this woman and her skills will blow your mind.
