Introduction

I have been a professional chef in the Denver area for well over a decade providing upscale yet still approachable food. I even went so far as to get Michelin star training in NYC, SF, and Chicago. Over the years people have always been blown away by the creative and satisfying food I have made, so I decided to put on private tasting menu dinner parties at people's homes. Since then, several people have reached out for cooking lessons so they can learn to level up their day to day cooking (or to impress a special someone).

Chef Chris was phenomenal! He was so easy to work with and communicated promptly. I loved how he came into our home and helped himself to what he needed but left the kitchen extremely clean. Everyone loved him and how kind he was!! Not to mention, he makes a killer gluten free and dairy free dessert. We are still talking about his homemade ice cream! I will definitely be reaching out to Chef Chris for future events. I highly recommend him!!

We had a five star experience with Chef Chris! We choose to have him come in as a private chef rather than going out to dinner with friends. What a great choice! With a little input from us he put together a Greek inspired menu. Lamb and lobster, fresh seasonal vegetables from the farmers market. Each dish was unique and delicious. He cooked and served with ultimate professionalism. And left our kitchen cleaner than when he got there. Our guests and us loved the experience. One guest said, “who am I to be spoiled this way”, she enjoyed it so much. Highly recommend! We will definitely be working with Chris again.

Details: Regular meal • 6 - 10 guests • Dinner • Standard (basic ingredients) • Mediterranean / Middle Eastern • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

Chef Chris was outstanding! From the moment that we started communicating to the day of the event, he was quick to respond, very helpful and easy going. He helped craft the menu and let me tell you.. it was the most delicious meal EVER. Our guests, some of which are super tough critics, were blown away with the quality and taste of our dinner. The dessert was incredible, too. His professionalism was great! I truly hope to cross paths with him in the future. Our experience with Chef Chris helped make our wedding a night to remember!!

Chef Chris was absolutely amazing. He followed my menu 100% and was so easy to work with. His prices are very fair. My family and I couldn’t get over how incredible the food was. He had printed menus and everything looked so classy. He moved quickly and cleaned so well. What an amazing experience for my husband and I’s intimate wedding dinner! We are so grateful for Chef Chris and definitely want to book with him again! Highly recommend for any occasion.
