Well I want to check all 5! Chef Irene was fantastic! We had such an amazing meal! She did a fantastic job with everything. Truly loved that she made up her own menu after we spoke about what I was looking for. She had several food allergies to work around but made a menu that was suited for all. She was also able to pull off a last minute surprise birthday cake for our group! I HIGHLY recommend Chef Irene!!!

Details: Brunch / dinner party • 6 - 10 guests • Lunch • Breakfast / brunch • Standard (basic ingredients) • Mexican / Latin American • Southern • Gluten free or celiac • Dairy intolerant • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

I can not say enough about Irina and her assistant Alex! I hosted my first women’s retreat and she made the entire experience so incredible. Not only was the food delicious but the presentation and working with her was seamless. My guests raved about her food all weekend and continue to do so. She taught my group of 15 women how to make ravioli and she made it such a fun experience. She’s my go to from now on! Thank you Irina and Alex!!!

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 6 - 10 guests • Breakfast / brunch • Lunch • Dinner • Dessert • Standard (basic ingredients) • American - casual • American - formal • Italian • Mexican / Latin American • Mediterranean / Middle Eastern • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

We didn’t expect heavy snow on the day of the event and we have planned a fresh Spring menu for my birthday dinner. Despite a rough road condition driving through heavy snow and being stranded up in the mountain, Irina remained calm and positive about the situation. She was still able to prepare us an excellent meal for the family. I am so amazed for her exceptional ability to prepare a delightful meal as if we are her own family. Will definitely hire her again!

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 6 - 10 guests • Dinner • Premium (high end ingredients) • Italian • Mediterranean / Middle Eastern • Barbecue • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

It was my absolute pleasure meeting you, your family and prepare delicious meal for you. I look forward working with you again!

Irina is sweet and kind and professional. She was quick on the communication which I really appreciated with so much going on to plan a party. She worked with me on the menu and adjusted according to my theme. She worked with me on budget. She brought everything that she needed to cook and prepare the food and also for presentation. My guest were very impressed by her and had a lot of compliments. She also did great job of cleaning up.

Details: Brunch / dinner party • 21 - 35 guests • Cocktail hour / hors d'oeuvres • Standard (basic ingredients) • Italian • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.
