Hiring a private chef for our girls' trip in Sedona was the best decision I made! Chef Kristina crafted a personalized menu that blew us away. Beyond the incredible food, Chef Kristina was a delight to have around, creating a fun and relaxed atmosphere while sharing cooking tips. This experience added a luxurious touch to our trip, allowing us to focus on enjoying each other's company. We can’t recommend Chef Kristina enough and can’t wait to book her again for our next gathering! Highly recommend! Love~ Minnie girls! Xo

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 6 - 10 guests • Dinner • Standard (basic ingredients) • Mexican / Latin American • Italian • Southern • American - casual • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

She was such a good teacher and put together a one of a kind experience. 10/10 would recommend and re-hire her every time.
