Chef Derek and his wife Nikki were AMAZING! I needed a personal chef within a few days for a dinner I was hosting and they got back to be on here very quickly, providing a proposed menu and price per person. I really appreciated that I could get everything scheduled via this app and texting versus calling. They arrived at my home to cook a dinner for 4 and were friendly and professional! All of the food was fantastic and it was so lovely to have dinner made and everything cleaned. I would definitely hire them again. They made a shrimp appetizer, flirt mignon entree which was cooked perfectly, and a strawberry shortcake dessert.

Wonderful team. They literally “catered” to our needs of having a vegetarian meal and it was delicious. They did this without hesitation despite it being a last minute request. They were very responsive and communicated with clarity. They fit it all and at a great value. We will definitely do it again.
