She has helped my children to be more adventurous and try new foods and has made mealtime such an enjoyable experience in our home. I really can't say enough amazing things about her.

Chef Amanda definitely knows how put on the WOW factor…read more I had the pleasure of experiencing her talents first hand while vacationing in LA. My friend Alex invited me to a dinner party at her vacation rental for her birthday. She mentioned having a private chef for the occasion, but I had no idea the experience I was in for. I was presented with a menu created by Chef Amanda with a detailed description of all items and ingredients. My dinner choice was the Spicy "O" blackened filet mignon with the NOLA styled crab cake. I have shellfish allergies but Chef Amanda gladly modified my dish so that I could indulge without an EpiPen. IT WAS TO DIE FOR!!!! I actually think I died and went to heaven. I only came back to life so I could lick the plate. I wasn't the only person with a dietary restriction. She also had a vegan option ready for my friend who failed to RSVP with his choice. She was more than prepared, and I was more impressed. She really demonstrated her attention to detail. She cooks and cares for you like she would her own family. She made feel like family. She is the perfect hybrid mix of Southern Hospitality and Professionalism. I definitely asked my friend Alex for her contact information after that dinner party. Since that trip to LA; I've used Chef Amanda for parties and nutritional advice. I have a lot of friends going vegan and referred them to her as well. She is extremely versatile when it comes creating personalized menus. Her flexibility and flavoring is why she is an amazing personal chef.

After speaking with a few chefs, we selected Chef Salvador because my father and I were impressed with his consultation. We were asked questions regarding her food preferences and were surprised to be sent multiple options characteristic of her taste. Salvador exceeded our expectations by creating an original menu featuring items we knew our mom would love. We chose a five-course meal featuring the following: Ceviche Short ribs with truffled mashed potatoes Duck breast with plum mole and cauliflower purée Spring salad with pomegranate, gorgonzola cheese, candied walnuts, and blood orange vinaigrette Buttercake with berry compote Chef Salvador and his team arrived several hours at my Mother's home in Huntington Beach before we expected our guest of honor. We were impressed with the team's professionalism, the preparation was orchestrated perfectly, and we worried about nothing the entire evening. My Mother and her guests loved every course, every bite, and still rave about the experience. From the initial consultation to the tidy clean-up, every interaction with Chef Peralta was first-class. In fact, we will be hiring him again for my sister-in-law's baby shower next month.

The unique concoctions and the display and the colors everything was gorgeous! It was like watching art and then getting to eat it! :-)

PHINOM CUISINE's plated catering perfected our farm-to-table wedding this summer!…read more We had a delicious appetizer spread, along with gorgeous yet delectable passed hors d'ouvres. Phinom's servers took the time to craft a special plate for my best friend and her husband as they took pictures after the ceremony; everybody was so moved by this sentimental gesture because there were no special requests prior. The meal itself was TO DIE FOR. We knew we'd found a gem as our Moroccan friends raved non-stop about the authenticity of the flavorful Chicken Tajin! From the beginning, MAYA (their executive chef) was prompt and accommodating, consistently staying on point in every aspect. And even though I was overwhelmed with other Maid of Honor duties, I immediately felt comfortable with YOUSSEF (their event coordinator) taking the reins when it came to all things food- and service-related. From the rentals and the bartenders to the guests with food allergies, everything was handled with grace and ease. I could tell we were in very good hands. Having worked with many caterers throughout the country for a variety of events, I can honestly say PHINOM CUISINE provided the most heavenly delicious food at an exceptional value. I've noticed many caterers will try to tack on sneaky surcharges and bill you after an event, but Phinom is beyond fair and ethical. In fact, they went out of their way to meet our needs and took care of us every step of the way. I'll be recommending them to everybody! FIVE STARS for MAYA and YOUSSEF's mouth-watering food and A+ service!
