I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Chef Kim. We hired her for a dinner party for 12 people, and everyone was blown away by the meal. Chef Kim curated a Mediterranean menu that was so delicious, no one could stop talking about it. The food was made fresh in our kitchen, and we opted to be served family style. It was such a nice experience having a professional meal cooked in our own home. I recommend Chef Kim to everyone and will definitely be using her again. Thank you!!

Kim did an amazing job preparing a birthday dinner for my wife and me. She arrived on time prepared a great four course dinner for me and my wife, explained each course and work with me on all my wife’s favorite foods. I loved the service she gave and highly recommend her to anyone needing a personal chef.

I was in need for a personal chef to celebrate my sister’s birthday. Kim was very responsive to my request. Kim provided a Mediterranean menu for a group of 15 women. Kim’s professionalism was absolutely amazing. The food was delicious!

Kim was absolutely amazing! She made a fantastic 3 course dinner for my parents anniversary. We started off with a charcuterie board. Our entrees were Peppercorn Flank Steak with scalloped potatoes, and we finished off the night with cheesecake over her homemade crème brûlée pudding. Kim is such a kind and talented chef and we will definitely be booking with her again in the future! Thank you for the wonderful evening you provided for us.

I engaged Kim to prepare a small plates menu for 2 for our anniversary. The experience was way beyond expectations. I can't say enough about it. First, Kim provided an extensive selection of interesting and unique dishes to choose from and we ended up with a 7 course meal. Once here, Kim set a beautiful table. I did not need to provide anything or do anything at all. We felt so pampered. The food was outstanding, all dishes prepared artfully with unique seasonings and combinations of ingredients, textures, and flavors. It was some of the best food I have experienced and I have eaten at many top restaurants. To top it off Kim herself was a joy and we all engaged in great conversation while she cleaned up and we digested. I highly highly recommend Kim as your in-home personal chef. A Fantastic experience!
