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 is a 10/10. If you're looking at her profile, just reach out to her and within one conversation you'll know you found your chef. She's quick to respond, extremely personable, and will work with you to create your menu. Now for the food: it is DELICIOUS. She made an amazing meal for 7 at a family celebration, I know my family will be talking about the night she cooked for us for years to come. I don't know how she cooked so much good food so quickly. While every dish was amazing, the salmon cakes and bacon date bouchée were out of this world. I honestly can't recommend her enough. The only slight bummer (for me) is that I live in Boston and not California so I won't be able to use her services as often as I would like. Thanks again Karla, my family will be eternally grateful for giving us a dining experience we'll never forget.

My private chef dinner with Karla for my wedding anniversary was amazing. She arrived early to prepare appetizers and made sure everything went smoothly. Everything was delicious and we even had leftovers from our dinner. Thank you Karla for a special memory we will always remember!
