Chef Trang makes great food! We hired Chef Trang to make dinner for 6 of us for my wife’s 40th birthday. Everything was great. She was easy to communicate with, and always responded in a timely manner. She helped us come up with a menu, arrived on time, and made a delicious dinner. We really enjoyed our experience overall.

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 2 guests • Dinner • Premium (high end ingredients) • American - formal • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

Chef Trang made the whole process of planning and delivering a fantastic birthday dinner for my wife enjoyable. We planned a meal for 12, and the whole journey was fun. My wife and her 11 friends were glowing after enjoying Chef Trangs food. Her attention to detail, delicious food, fun energy, and professionalism made the experience one that my wife won’t soon (or ever) forget. Thank you Chef Trang!

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 6 - 10 guests • Dinner • I'm flexible • Italian • Mediterranean / Middle Eastern • Asian • Gluten free or celiac • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

Communicating with other Chefs before I settled on Trang, I found most were selling a standard Catering or Restaurant experience, even to the point of providing a set menu to choose from. By contrast, Trang was interested in my input and preferences, fleshing out my ideas with wonderful suggestions to create the more intimate, specialized experience I was looking for. Her skillset is extensive, for example manifesting in handmade Ravioli and Zabaglione that went far beyond the standard fare of even some of the best restaurants. Her presence in our home was engaged, warm, and blended wonderfully with the Family environment that was the keynote of the evening.

Details: Holiday meal (Mother's day, Valentine's day, etc.) • 3 - 5 guests • Dinner • I'm flexible • Italian • Mediterranean / Middle Eastern • I'm flexible • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

Chef Trang provided excellence service and amazing food for our party of 12 for my bday dinner in Sonoma. Everyone in my party absolutely loved her food. It was so much food, we could barely finished! I definitely would recommend Trang is you’re looking to have a private dinner with friends and family. We’d love for her to cook for us again!

We had Chef Trang over to cook a private dinner for my sister’s bachelorette. She was extremely communicative throughout the entire process and helped provide us with sample menus upfront. My sister has Celiac disease so that was one of the most important aspects of this meal and Chef Trang went above and beyond to ensure every element of the meal was gluten free. Everything tasted wonderful—she has a fantastic palette and I would highly recommend for any private meal needs!

Details: Shower (baby, bridal, etc.) • 6 - 10 guests • Dinner • Cocktail hour / hors d'oeuvres • Dessert • I'm flexible • American - formal • Mediterranean / Middle Eastern • French • Asian • Gluten free or celiac • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.
