My husband originally hired her as a surprise for a romantic dinner for two for my birthday. Chef Sue made us "seared ahi tuna with broccolini and forbidden black rice with toasted sesame seeds." She also made a gluten free apple tart for dessert. It was all prepared and served to us in our home. Best part was ... the clean up was done by Chef Sue Clair as well. I felt like royalty and the meal was top notch. After that experience, we hired Chef Sue Clair for prepared meals. What a great decision. We went with a bi-weekly package which consisted of three entrees (4 of each and customized for our dietary needs) I LOVE SOUPS ... so I choose a lentil curry carrot soup as one of my entrees. All I can say is yum!!! Chef Sue does it all ... romantic dinners, customized meal prep, dinner parties, delivered food for events ... you name it. She's one of the best and I would recommend her over anyone if your in the Phila

She curated a Caribbean inspired menu that was so thoughtful. We began with papas rellenas, perfectly crisped potato croquettes stuffed with beautifully seasoned curried lamb. They were so flavorful. Next was a vibrant Caribbean salad with leafy greens, dried tropical fruit, prawns, and a delicious honey-lime dressing. It was fresh, bright, and perfectly balanced. For the main course, she served jerk cornish hens with rice & peas and mixed vegetables. The flavors were incredible!!! To end the evening, we enjoyed a refreshing dragon fruit and mango sorbet that was the perfect ending. May I also add that Chef Livi was incredibly accommodating, thoughtfully adjusting dishes for allergies and preparing a beautiful vegan substitute for one of my friends without compromising flavor or presentation. Every dish was prepared with care and love. You can truly tell she enjoys cooking for others and takes pride in her craft. I would absolutely book Chef Livi again in a heartbeat!!!

Dylan customized our menu based on my family's preferences for fresh, clean naturally flavorful dishes and he delivered an epic 5-course dinner that tasted as incredible as it looked. Truly fine dining in the comfort of our Airbnb home. I also appreciated how laid back and flexible Dylan was the entire time - he's a true professional and rolled with the punches. His 2nd chef couldn't make it last minute but Dylan made sure this didn't affect our experience by shopping for half of his ingredients and swinging by to check out our kitchen the day before so that he could maximize his time the day of. The presentation of each course was also perfectly timed, allowing for room to breathe in between and each new course was brought to us hot and fresh off the stove. (Anyone who's hosted Thanksgiving dinner will know it's not easy to time the cooking of multiple dishes at once - I've tried and failed ). Additional bonuses that were meaningful to me: All produce was organic, and the seafood/meat was purchased fresh the day of from Whole Foods (tender grass fed rack of lamb, melt in your mouth sea bass, and truly the biggest scallops I've ever tasted). FYI Dylan is also fantastic with nosy kids who like to ask silly questions and/or get involved in the kitchen. Can't wait to taste his cooking again in the future!

I wanted my family to eat healthy, home cooked, fresh meals but couldn't find the time, so I began my search for a personal chef. I was so lucky to find the Flavorful Fork.

Each meal is prepared fresh, packaged beautifully and ready to serve. The meals prepared by the owner are so delicious and filling! Some of our favorite meals have been Chilean sea bass, sesame crusted Ahi Tuna and Chimichangas! Having a personal chef through the Flavorful Fork is the best decision I have made. It has helped me tremendously so I can better balance my schedule during the week!
