Chef Karla & her Su (sp?) chef Sophia were AMAZING!!! Leading up to the event she was 100% responsive & communicative. She delivered above & beyond what she promised, and her food was DELICIOUS and there was SO MUCH OF IT (my tummy is still happy, because I still have more)! She was fun & interacted with the party and still got everything done in time. The value of her product is PRICELESS; if she had charged the accurate value, I wouldn't have been able to afford her. She was amazing and I would not only recommend her, but I would use her again and again! She was very professional and punctual and didn't rush us to finish so she could clean up and she left everything spotless. She allowed us to have fun and enjoy her delicious cuisine and she made my birthday AMAZING...she even brought me gifts!

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

This was our first time having a private chef cook for our group of cyclists. Karla and her daughter were on time and they cooked a fantastic meal with a salad, a soup and a pumpkin and several entrées appetizers and delicious brownies with ice cream for dessert. She had a lovely attitude. The kitchen was spotless when we finished dinner and I've never had such a great dining experience in a home that we rented, thank you Karla for such a wonderful evening

Karla helped my family and I prepare a wonderful private dinner for our wedding. We wanted a nice meal to help us wind down at the end of a long day, and Karla delivered all that and more! She arrived hours before dinnertime in order to prep and make sure everything was ready by the time we got back and were ready to eat, and reassured us that there was nothing to worry about and that she would take care of everything. And she truly did - by the time we got back, she had everything ready to go, and crafted such beautiful dishes that looked great and tasted great! Everyone was stuffed and completely satisfied by the very end, and the food was so good that my wife and I are missing her cooking already just a few days after! Karla is also the sweetest person, and brought such genuinely happy and positive energy with her. She was truly happy to be there to share our special day with us, and likewise Karla through her cooking and energy also helped make our day as special as it was. 10/10 would recommend Karla, and I would not hesitate to work with her again!
