We heard about cooking with Ana from a friend and we decided to give it a try. Ana was super…read morerespectful, very friendly and the food is amazing! Ana went to the grocery store, got all the food herself, prepped all the food and did all the dishes before leaving! It was an amazing experience, we also enjoyed talking to her about her homeland in Brazil, how she got to the US and how great it is that she's starting her own business! This was our first time trying something of this business model and it did not disappoint. We will definitely have Ana over again to cook for us soon and she said her menu is just getting started! A+++++, definitely recommend Ana to anyone that is interested in having a personal, affordable chef to help meal prep for yourself, your kids or to try and live a healthier lifestyle!

Very, very glad I decided to use Cooking with Ana!! I live a…read morevery busy life, literally have no time to cook and always end up eating junk like food. I've just resorted to whenever I can make food, I make a ton so I have a few leftovers, but that only gets me so far. Cooking with Ana was very well priced, I got a ton of food, the food was amazing! Just overall incredible. It's a different experience coming home, excited to eat leftovers! Literally some of the best food I've ever had! Also, in discussing with her, she made me food on the healthier side. I am extremely active, work all day and activities as soon as I get off work (thus no time to cook) but was never able to diet because I have no time to cook. I lost 7 lbs in a week! I literally was shedding weight! Now I don't expect others to see these same results as I am extremely active and probably eat extremely unhealthy, but if on the off chance you are like me... you will literally shed the weight! I couldn't be happier and have already placed my second order! Thank you Ana!

I am so grateful that my husband found you....There were so many "oohs" and "ahhhs" and "mmmmms" happening all night! The charcuterie was so beautiful and abundant and everything was incredibly fresh and tasty! Mauricio was a fabulous server and was so kind and fun to talk to. He even helped us to find some wayward Easter eggs! Dinner was amazing. Salad was delicious, and the main course was exceptional! Everything was cooked to perfection and beautifully plated. Nothing was overlooked and your attention to detail was apparent. I didn't speak much to your kitchen helper (I apologize that I don't remember her name), but I have no doubt, in addition to all the cooking help, I have her to thank for how clean and organized my kitchen was when you all left! I appreciate the 3 of you for all you did that I didn't see behind the scenes. It was a pleasure to have you in our home and the icing on the cake is that you are all dog people and were so kind to our pups! I'm sure this won't be the last time you chef for us!!! Best, Sharon Hartman

Communication went smoothly from start to finish. When he arrived, he took safety precautions and kept his distance and mask on (something that I really appreciated). He brought the dinnerware, table decor, and even printed out a nice menu at our request. Food was amazing and I loved that we were able to mix and match from his Farm Table menus. We had the butter lettuce salad (could eat this everyday!), the sweet corn soup (amazing flavors- sweetness of the corn was complemented with a kick of chili oil), the petit filet, and raspberry torte (with a sparkler to make it celebratory!). Every thing was amazing and perfectly portioned. At the end of dinner, he cleaned up which is such an added plus! Mattias is very personable and made the occasion so special. Will definitely look forward to working with him again :)

Highly recommended!Shoutout to Chef Ray Swanson of Chef 805 Catering for an absolutely incredible…read moreexperience. My wife and I attended a friend's birthday party where Chef Ray handled the catering, and the food was truly outstanding. Having spent 22 years in the food service industry myself, I'm not easily impressed--but the presentation, flavors, and overall execution were exceptional. Every item was fantastic. The bruschetta with goat cream cheese was fresh and perfectly balanced. The seared ahi tuna bites were beautifully prepared, and the shrimp spring rolls with ginger peanut sauce were bursting with flavor. Even the flatbread pizza with Caesar salad was spot-on. One great dish after another--we were honestly stuffed by the end of the night. What stood out most was the attention to detail and restaurant-quality presentation, something you rarely see at private catered events. Chef Ray clearly takes pride in his craft, and it shows in every bite. We're already looking forward to the next event he caters at our friend's house--and we'll definitely be using Chef 805 Catering for one of our own parties in the future. -- Anil

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.
