Alejandro prepared the most delicious feast for 10 adults, and at very short notice! Booking with him was a breeze as he was extremely responsive. We didn't have a cuisine in mind, so he suggested a mezze-style sharing experience that was perfect for us. He used fresh, creative, and sustainable ingredients to create flavors that many of us had never experienced. He was passionate, attentive, and brought a great energy to the evening. Our Airbnb was unfortunately ill-equipped, but he went above and beyond to bring any equipment needed, including stopping on his way to get appropriate serving platters! Would 100% recommend him, and can't wait to book him again.

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 6 - 10 guests • Dinner • Premium (high end ingredients) • Dessert • Cold beverages (alcoholic) • American - casual • American - formal • Italian • Mexican / Latin American • Mediterranean / Middle Eastern • French • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

I hired Chef Alejandro to cook dinner the first night of my 40th birthday trip. From beginning to end he exceeded expectations. He proposed an incredible dinner menu, carefully taking into account the food allergies in the group, and working with me on a few tweaks. He arrived on time, prepared the meal on site, served all of us, and beautifully explained what was served. The food was INCREDIBLE. He prepared fresh flatbread on demand, brought herbs and vegetables from his garden, and pivoted to a beautiful salad when the watermelon at the store didn’t look good. Best of all he left the kitchen cleaner than he found it and was a joy the entire time. I wish I lived in Florida so I could hire him more often. Chef Alejandro made our first night in Florida a night to remember - we couldn’t stop talking about how good the food was! Thank you, Chef Alejandro!

Alejandro was fantastic. We booked him only a few days before for a group of 10 people. He created a phenomenal meal based on our asks. Everyone was super happy with the food. Would highly recommend.

Alejandro provided our family a night to remember!! Not only was his food fantastic, but he made the whole experience interactive and fun! The fish was SO fresh! I also really appreciated his communication throughout the whole process, very flexible! Our expectations were exceeded and we can’t wait to have him over again. I highly recommend Alejandro!!
