My friend found She Chef for her 40th birthday party and it was a feast for the ages!!! I probably ate 10 pounds of seafood and the biscuits and grits were mind blowing. Those grits are the best I've ever had. If you want New Orlean flavors to wrap you in a warm hug, then get some She Chef I would stay in NO just for her food. Our menu: seafood boil of crawfish and shrimp (with corn on the cob, sausages, mushrooms, and potatoes); bomb ass biscuits, Gouda grits that changed my life for the better, and raspberry mascarpone tarts Prompt arrival, easy consistent communication, very friendly and professional, easy to work with and flexible. And Sous Chef Juane was most excellent as well read more

I cannot recommend Chef Taylor enough! The whole experience was exceptional. I hired her for my 40th birthday party and she came to our rental house to cook a traditional seafood boil with a few additional sides - I still dream of the gouda grits! Figuring out the menu and logistics was super easy, Chef Taylor is responsive and very professional. Her Sous Chef Juane was also awesome. Hire the NOLA She-Chef y'all, you will not regret it! read more

I would absolutely use her services again. read more

I hired this chef to cater my graduation brunch and dinner in New Orleans, and I honestly could not have asked for a better experience. Every single dish was beautifully presented, fresh, flavorful, and truly memorable. You can tell there is real passion and talent behind the food. For brunch, we had the Louisiana jumbo Gulf shrimp and grits, bacon, sausage, turkey sausage, a gorgeous fresh fruit charcuterie display, croissant strata with Louisiana Gulf shrimp, bacon, and caramelized onions, eggs made to order, and strawberry & lavender whipped cream stuffed French toast. Everything was incredible, but the shrimp and grits and stuffed French toast were especially unforgettable. Dinner was just as amazing. The NOLA-style barbecue shrimp with French bread was the perfect starter, and the Cajun Caesar salad with cornbread croutons was such a creative touch. The pan-seared garlic chicken paired with creamy shrimp linguine and broccolini was absolutely delicious and cooked perfectly. Not only was the food outstanding, but the professionalism, communication, and overall experience were top tier from start to finish. My guests are still talking about the food. If you are looking for catering in New Orleans, I highly recommend booking with her. read more

This was my very first experience with a personal chef, and let me just say--the bar is now through the roof. Taylor is not only a phenomenal cook, but also an incredible human being.

This was hands-down the best dining experience I've ever had. Honestly, I'd follow her anywhere just to experience her cooking again. I highly recommend booking with Taylor.

We had Chef Taylor cook dinner for our group of 9 people at our AirBnb while we were visiting NOLA. She's amazing. Homemade chicken tenders for the kids, amazing crab cakes, soup, and stuffed fish for the adults. We loved it and she took care of everything including cleanup - thank you! read more

We hired Chef Taylor for a 40th birthday celebration. The first was a catered drop off meal and the second was a personal chef brunch. Both meals were incredible! She was extremely communicative about the menus and accommodating to food allergies. The portion sizes were huge so we had the chance for leftovers. As an added surprise, she brought me flowers for my birthday. I was extremely impressed with everything. I plan to use Chef Taylor in the future. read more

Taylor and her team were incredible and very accommodating to my attendees needs. I highly recommend.

My girlfriends and I had a wonderful experience with Chef Taylor! We had some difficulties with our AirBnb stove and oven, but you wouldn't have known because Taylor and her sous chef remained so calm and collected and found ways to be flexible and make the meal work despite the challenges. They even helped me handle the issues which was not part of their job. The food was absolutely amazing and they made so many gluten and dairy accommodations which meant so much to some of the members of our group. Communication was easy, prompt, professional and above and beyond and our kitchen was left clean and nicely organized after-we didn't need to do a thing! I highly recommend Chef Taylor and would love to have another meal cooked by her in the future! read more

After exploring many personal chef options, I stumbled upon NOLA She Chef on Yelp. I wanted someone to make a meal for the first night of her bachelorette. The dinner was AMAZING! She came to our Airbnb, cooked an amazing four course meal. We started the night with three cheese crawfish bread, then a roasted beet and butternut squash salad with pecans, goat cheese and balsamic pumpkin vinaigrette. For dinner, we had NOLA style blackened chicken and shrimp over creamy cajun linguine pasta, lemon butter broccolini. Last but not least, for dessert, we had Chef Taylor's famous bread pudding with brandy sauce. 100% would recommend!!!! read more

I recently hired Chef Taylor for a private dining experience for a bachelorette party and I can't say enough good things about the experience! It was so easy to get in contact with her and she was very communicative throughout the entire process and leading up to the day of the party. I never once worried about anything slipping through the cracks. The food was exceptional from start to finish! Everything was very tasty and restaurant quality. We also were left with lots of leftovers for snacks throughout the weekend. She was also very nice and talked with our group of very chatty and little drunk enthusiasts lol. Overall, I highly suggest going with Chef Taylor for all your private dining needs! read more

Great experience! She made some good size portions and added some twists to the classics! Deviled eggs and voodoo chip wings are keepers.

Fantastic! Everything was great. The planning and communication process all the way through the food prep. It was absolutely delicious! We would contact Taylor again! read more

We hired Chef Taylor for our Deltaversary brunch while in New Orleans. She is absolutely amazing. The food was so good. She is professional and delivered beyond our expectations. I would definitely use her again. read more

Everything about my experience with Chef Taylor was top tier. From my very first interaction with her, I knew she was just the person for our event. She worked with me to create a custom brunch menu that accommodated various dietary restrictions, and had a number of unique menu offerings. She arrived at the Airbnb on time, fully prepared with everything she needed to create a high-quality brunch experience. She prepared a beautiful tablescape that matched well with our birthday décor, and was incredibly personable. I was very impressed that she made the buttermilk biscuits from scratch (!!) and the blackened catfish & grits was absolutely divine. The cherry on top was that she cleaned up everything afterwards and packaged up the leftovers, which allowed us to jump right into our post-brunch nap. :) I look forward to visiting NOLA again and commissioning Chef Taylor to prepare another fantastic meal for us. read more

Taylor and her staff created a lovely and tasty wedding brunch for us! They were terrific caterers, looked sharp and we're very nice. They not only made delicious and beautiful food, including stuffed sweet and savory crepes and shrimp & grits, but when they were finished cleaning up they went to the sweet effort of offering our leftover food to the unhomed in the neighborhood. Highly recommend! Thanks Chef! read more

The food was delicious! She arrived on time and was completely professional the entire time. It was very easy to communicate with her beforehand, and she will prepare menu options based on the type of food you'd like. We went with a creole style dinner, and we were not disappointed in the least. I would definitely recommend a private dining experience with her if you're in the New Orleans area. Thank you chef Taylor! read more

Amazing communication, service, and food! Chef Taylor created an incredible crawfish cream sauce on the fly when we asked for her to use our leftovers from a crawfish boil we had made earlier in the day and it might've been the start of the show! Everyone was licking their fingers after eating the beignets with the praline sauce. Very professional and punctual! Would recommend to everyone! read more

She chef Taylor is the BEST!!! I was visiting NOLA for a bachelorette party & she cooked us up the best meal. The spinach artichoke dip, cornbread, jambalaya, green beans, shrimp & salmon were all to die for. For dessert she made us a delicious flourless chocolate torte. Taylor was such a sweet heart and I can't wait to come back to NOLA and have her cook for me again! read more

Chef Taylor was amazing. The food was absolutely delicious. Our group of 30 couldn't have been happier. Thanks again!

I hired Chef Taylor for my daughter's birthday dinner and it was fabulous from start to finish. Chef Taylor was responsive, provided great menu choices, was timely and very easy to work with. The food was great and my daughter found her delightful. It turned out to be a great 21st birthday celebration and one my daughter will always remember. I highly recommend! read more

What to do for our 40th wedding anniversary? We hired Chef Taylor for a private romantic dinner in our own home! It was an amazing evening. We started with a fabulous charcuterie board outside in our own backyard, while Chef made dinner. She served us fabulous food while we reminisced. After having gone to just about all of the high end restaurants in New Orleans for previous anniversaries, this was the perfect treat for 40 years. We had an arugula and avocado salad (amazing flavors), then crab and corn soup (so tasty - much more crab than you ever get in a restaurant), then lobster fettuccine with fennel and tarragon (holy smokes!!), and ending with a raspberry-mascarpone tart (Oh!! Can I have another one?). It was an evening to remember! read more

Top notch! Everything was so delicious! From the appetizer to the adult beverages to dessert. Must do again!

Absolutely delicious! I will definitely use her services when I return to New Orleans.

Chef Taylor and Sous Chef Juanee made my 12 friends and me an absolutely amazing dinner this past weekend. From the start, Taylor was easy to communicate with, was not pushy, and gave me a lot of options in terms of menu planning. She was flexible about dietary needs and responsive to my questions. On the day of the meal, she and Juanee were prompt and brought everything they needed to make us a delicious Creole-inspired four course meal. I had initially selected fried green tomatoes as an appetizer, however given supply chain issues, Taylor had informed me that she was not able to get them. To our delight, she upgraded us to crab cakes for no additional charge, which was so kind (and tasty). I would recommend Chef Taylor without hesitation for private chef/catering for your group in NOLA. I will certainly hire her again for future events! Thank you Chef Taylor - it was a pleasure working with you. read more
