From the first few emails I knew that Josh was going to be great to work with. He listened to all of my ideas and together we came up with a delicious menu. He had so many amazing dishes as inspiration and really created the perfect menu for me and my guests. Josh answered all of my emails promptly and with such a kind attitude. We all absolutely loved the amazing food and the entire experience! Honestly, everyone was talking about it for days afterward. It was such a unique experience for each of us. None of us have ever been treated to such a special meal in a private home. There were many great comments about each course but the Oregon Mushroom Soup was the favorite for many! My sister doesn't usually like mushrooms but convinced herself to try the soup and then decided it was her favorite course ~ of course she loved everything else too. Josh and his assistant India were just so pleasant and approachable. That made a huge difference to the experience. We loved having both of them in our home. And... they cleaned everything up! I'm very particular about my kitchen and they didn't disappoint in that respect either. I could go on and on but really just want to say that Josh exceeded all expectations. We hope to have another occasion to work with him in our home.

Upon my initial email, she responded within 24 hours with a request to set up a phone conference to discuss the details of my event and my group's dietary preferences. Within the next couple weeks, we spoke by phone and she was asked many questions about the group, the event, meal preferences, etc. We spoke so long the conversation become very personable and I then explained to her that I was looking at other chefs, as well. She emailed me within 48 hours a nice menu including appetizers and dessert. I was very impressed. I had two ladies within my group whom were vegans and vegetarians and she ensured our meal would work to their palette. When I made the decision to work with Michelle, the professionalism continued. Me and Michelle kept in contact and right up to the event to confirm the menu details, the deposit, etc. On the day of our dinner, we entered the home and the aura of the food and the presentation was amazing. We started our meal with a fruit pico de gallo mix with fresh fruit that was absolutely devine. She also arranged a charcuterie board with fresh hummus, variety of cheeses and crackers. There was also a salsa tray with blue chips, fresh made guacamole and two different types of salsa. Our main meal included tilapia, blend of chorizo potatoes, rice and beans and mix of corn and flour tortillas. She ensured everyone's needs were met and me and my friends enjoyed every bit. Michelle ensured the kitchen was clean before she left. Michelle is a gem to work with and her attention to detail is amazing. It shows through her work ethic, food display and taste that she has a sincere passion for this work. If you are in the Portland area, please do not hesitate to book Chef Michelle for your culinary needs as you will not be disappointed.

I was in Oregon for a girls wine trip weekend and one of my friends found Michelle from extensive…read moreinternet research. I'm so happy she did! While we were touring Oregon wine country, Chef Michelle and her assistant Gina were busy preparing us a feast for our return. As soon as we opened the door, we were met with glorious smells and smiling faces from them both. We started our meal with finely chopped mixed fruit that I would say was reminiscent of a fruit salsa. The fruit was sweet and refreshing. Then we fantastically arranged charcuterie board that had all types of fruits, cheeses, crackers, dips and breadsticks. We didn't know where to begin because we also had blue corn chips, salsas and fresh made guacamole on the table. Deliciousness at its finest! Our main meal was tilapia fish for tacos, a blend of vegan chorizo potatoes and spices for a vegan option, rice, beans and a mix of flour and corn tortillas. When I say all the food was fresh and flavorful and all the flavors just engaged so well with each other, that would be an understatement!!! This was a culinary party at its finest and I'm so happy I was able to have this experience while visiting Oregon. Both Chef Michelle and Gina went above and beyond to assure we were well taken care of and Gina even played shoulder shaking music to keep us grooving while we enjoyed our meal. If you are ever looking for a personal chef with very personal touches, Chef Michelle will not disappoint.

Brittany and the two bartenders were professional, kind, and worked together as a team to take care of everything - table settings, bar setup, taking orders, cleaning, taking the garbage out, etc! Our guests had a lovely time, and we were able to enjoy it with them. Everything was easy, I really appreciated that. The meal and the presentation, were absolute perfection.

We thought it would be fun to have her cook dinner for us one night in our beautiful AirBnb while we enjoyed some of the wine we had purchased. Her communication from the beginning was top notch, and she even shared some winery and restaurant recommendations with me in advance to help with my planning for the rest of the weekend. At one of the wineries we visited, the owners raved about her talents! The food was delicious and the price divided among the girls was very reasonable. The soup and dessert were our personal favorites! See the photo descriptions to see what she served. Chef Rebecca easily found her way around the Airbnb kitchen, and she never bothered us to ask where something was located. The kitchen was clean and pristine when she left! I highly recommend her for any event needs, big or small!

Chef Rebecca kept a positive attitude and made the entire meal on the grill with one flashlight and a couple of candles. The food was outstanding and was of high caliber even with the nontraditional kitchen setup. Thank you again Chef Rebecca!!!

The price was extremely reasonable when compared to what a meal like that would have cost in a top restaurant. We will most definitely recommend chef Rachel to our friends and family and we will certainly keep her number close by for our next event. An absolute home run from beginning to end. It's nice to know that there are still people in this world that deliver on their word.

A friend referred Chef Rachel Lori to assist us with this challenge. It has been an amazing experience.

I no longer have to rely on takeout or fast food to fill in the gaps - which is a huge money saver for us. My only disappointment is that I can't afford to have her come and cook for us a few times a week!
