Can't wait for the next event to include The Prancing Chef in!

From the very beginning, his presence brought a sense of ease, confidence, and quiet luxury to every moment. Fresh hand made ingredients created the most savored tastes. Better thab we imagined. Everyone loved the food. Andre seamlessly executed the rehearsal dinner, tended bar and hosted horsdeouvres, drinks and canolli for deserts at our Santa Barbara wedding--each delivered with remarkable precision, intention, and grace. His ability to read the room, adapt in real time, and execute flawlessly (even under unexpected conditions) speaks to a level of professionalism that is truly rare. The unexpectes rain during our wedding reception did not stop his flawless execution. We are grateful to Andrei and I LOVE TO CATER for bringing this Italian flare to our very special wedding day.

He set up all the food at the same time and left. We had to do the serving ourselves. He didn't return until the next morning to pick up his stuff which we had to put out of the way. Only received two of the three main courses we ordered, food was mediocre at best. Very disappointing.

Fine Food.....Wrong Venue?…read more This is the first "less than 5 star" review for Fire To Fork. My comments are not quite the same as all the others because those focused on the catering side of the business. My review discusses Fire To Fork as 1 of 3 food providers for a concert at the Presqu'ile Winery on Saturday, August 8th. My wife and I are vegetarians and menus from the 2 food trucks at the winery's event sponsored by the Oasis Senior Center in Orcutt were 100% meat. Fire To Fork was listed as the 3rd provider so I called earlier that day to ask whether the promised "charcuterie board" would be appropriate for vegetarians. I left a message...kind of incomplete since the tape was only 30 seconds...but a very nice woman called back and said "we'll have a huge box with 10 types of cheese plus nuts, fruit and some meat for people who want it". She was super friendly. We got to the concert early and I was one of the first people at the Fire To Fork booth. My wife and I planned to share a "box" so I simply said "everything but the meat". The paper box was the type used for a couple of hot dogs. The guy in charge gave me 3 strawberries, 8 red grapes, 2 balls of caprese cheese with 2 cherry tomatoes, small chunks of another cheese, a few figs and one other dried fruit. A younger guy put 10 crackers in a smaller box. Since the cost was $35.....yes, $35.....I asked for some more cheese - especially since I didn't get any meat. He reluctantly added one ball of caprese. The contents of my "box" were fine, but worth $12...maybe $15. Since some of the money was probably going to the local non-profit, I could see a charge of $20. But $35 was an insult. Everything at the 2 food trucks was $10-15. The food itself was fine, but the portion meager. For similar events in the future where attendees pay for the food rather than one person or organization footing the bill, either lower the price or raise the amount of food provided.

We decided to have her cater small bites the day of graduation so family and friends coming in to town had something to eat before, between graduations and after and went with a catered brunch and a full mimosa bar the morning after the graduations. She sets everything up, provided everything and became my "life coach" too...lol. I was able to enjoy sharing the day and all the moments that go along with celebrating your kids big moments without having to have to slay in the kitchen. Her food is to die for, full of flavor and unique and everything was made by her. Brunch was a cool experience because as she cooked & baked, she visited with family and friends and her interactions made it feel like it was my sister from another Mr. helping make this grad party a complete success. Thanks Katie for nailing it, providing a beautiful display of food, hanging out with everyone and most of all creating an amazing party so I could enjoy it all without the stress of cooking or figuring out a menu alone. I'm so bummed out that I didn't get pics to share of the brunch:( Looking forward to having you a part of more family milestones.

I am not exaggerating when I give Michele 5 stars! She is an AMAZING chef, and I so appreciate her…read moreattention to using only the freshest, (mostly) local ingredients. She cooks from her heart, and prepares food that is good for our hearts! Her prices are totally affordable and attached to very high quality meals. She has always provided prompt, professional service. I have not only used her for personal chef/catering jobs, but also managed to talk her into giving a presentation on preparing healthy lunches for the workplace, particularly when you are strapped for time. (This was for the employees at Diablo Canyon Power Plant.) I now refer her to our vacationing guests who stay with us at Dancing Deer Farm in Templeton. Well, actually, I pass on her info to everyone I know who needs some help in the kitchen! Michele is truly marvelous! If you care about the ingredients that go into your food, and the intention behind the meal(s) being prepared, Michele is your go-to-girl. (Particularly good for vegetarian, vegan, and healing foods.)

Michele and her team were also very professional, prompt, and flexible. On top of excellent service, the food was so delicious - everything was local, organic, and fresh, just as promised. I highly recommend hiring Michele for your next event. Ask her about her chocolate avocado mousse. :)
