Josie has been the personal chef for my clients for the past 3 years and she is PHENOMENAL!!!! Not…read moreonly is she super easy to work with, but her food is so delicious. And she knows how to cook for all types of palates, ages and appetites. My clients have an especially particular set of dietary needs and allergies that must be worked around. We have had a hard time finding a chef that knows how to adjust to those needs while keeping the food selections, fresh, delicious, and diverse, but with Josie, it's just been so easy since Day 1. They also have 2 toddlers and she always suggests healthy and fun selections for them and they LOVE it! She's also a great cooking tutor and is always happy to help and answer any and all questions. And get this...we are in Los Angeles and Josie is in Santa Barbara...but THAT is how valuable she is to us! We get her food brought down to LA from Santa Barbara. Yes. Believe it when I say Chef Josie is one of the best! When it comes to working parties and events that my clients host, once again, she makes it all so easy and her attention to detail is absolutely precise! For example...We hosted a pizza party because the house had a new wood-fired brick pizza oven installed. I discussed this with Josie, and at the time, she had never worked with wood-fired pizza ovens. However, the very next day she sent me all the information she had researched on it, and also took the initiative to find someone to show her how to work with a wood-fired pizza oven. Because of her research and initiative, she was able to show me via texting and Facetime, how to properly cure the oven a week before the party and then when it came to the actual day of the party, Josie & her assistant came down to cook and put the oven and her newfound wood-fired pizza skills to the test...and everyone LOVED it!!! The pizza was honestly some of the most delicious pizza I've had. And it's all because of the prep work Josie had done before and then when the time came, like a master at their craft, she just let her experience do the rest. And clean-up was a BREEZE!!!!! She and her awesome assistant were constantly cleaning as they were working, so by the time they had to leave, everything was already cleaned up and put away. I am SO GRATEFUL for Josie. She makes my clients very happy and that makes me extremely happy and also, my job that much easier! She is truly one of the best people you will ever work with.

I was lucky to get the chance to attend a dinner he did at the Brave & Maiden Estate (photos attached). It was amazing to listen to him describe the inspiration for the different courses. The courses were thought-provoking, artistically-presented, and most importantly delicious. It was a meal I will remember for the rest of my life. He is truly passionate about sourcing the highest-quality seasonal ingredients, and ensuring his guests have a meaningful dining experience. His decades of culinary experience shines through every meal he prepares. I would recommend him to anyone looking for an elevated private chef experience.

He did forget the custom printed menus, which was a minor disappointment, but the flavors and presentation more than made up for the minor issue. We are already talking about ways to include him in future events.

Naomi and the team were so helpful during the contracting and menu selection process, they were very communicative, responsive, and helped with recommendations. The menu tasting was so incredibly fun and fancy! We loved getting to try so many items and getting to tweak any dishes to our liking. Food was an incredibly important part of our wedding day. Both my husband and I are foodies and we have been to several friends weddings were food was just 'meh'. We couldn't have been happier with the food ourselves and loved that our guests were also so pleased with the food (had multiple guests ask about if we had the recipes for certain dishes that were served!!). We went with a bread and dill compote butter, delicious arugula salad, great steak and salmon mains, and a potato and pea/asparagus salad sides (see menu pic for details).
