Melissa was exceptional. Prior to the event, we had a thorough conversation where we talked in detail about our dietary needs, such as a shellfish allergy, gluten sensitivity, and dairy sensitivity. Our ultimate goal was to have a vegan meal. Melissa was incredibly accommodating and gave us plenty of recommendations for dinner options that aligned with our preferences and restrictions. She even visited our home to provide samples of her dishes before the event. On the night of the event, Melissa executed appetizers, dinner, and dessert perfectly. The food was undoubtedly delicious, and she left our kitchen in pristine condition. I highly recommend Melissa as your next go-to personal chef!

For a dinner party with our closest friends comprising of 18 people, Melissa and her assistant chef Brian cooked an astounding meal. Melissa was extremely attentive, made an exceptional meal, and on top of that, they were both wonderful people. They adjusted well to the party, and we didn't feel hurried at any moment during the meal. The food was delicious.

Chef Melissa was hired by me for my husband’s 40th birthday celebration a month ago and her services were exceptional! She was prompt and professional, and the food she prepared was simply outstanding. Additionally, she generously shared some insightful cooking tips with me. Without hesitation, I would eagerly engage her services for future occasions!
