Wow, such a amazing meal and experience! Rodney's creation was exceptional, and his fun and kind personality was the icing on top. The chicken was perfectly seared and juicy, the sauce so full of flavor, and the asparagus perfectly crispy (something we've never accomplished lol)! Rodney is warm, kind and professional and it's clear why he's had the opportunity to lead culinary experiences and teams all over the country and world. We couldn't have asked for a better night! We highly recommend Rodney and hope to try his other creations in the future! Thank you again, Rodney!

Chef Christina and her assistant were amazing! They drove a way to cook for us and they were very friendly when they arrived. We discussed the meal and she asked for preferences and things to omit and they got started. A short time later we had the best steak dinner I’ve ever had. It melted in your mouth and the potatoes were very creamy and flavorful. The starter salad was gorgeous and all of the flavors came together beautifully. Don’t get me started on the dessert I could’ve taken a tub of her cheesecake filling home! I swear I dreamed about it! I will definitely be booking her again when I am back in Atlanta! Don’t miss out. Thanks so much Chef Christina for making my dinner party epic.

03/02/2024

Our "Sumptuous Steak Dinner" experience with Chef Christina was truly spectacular in every way imaginable. Chef Christina crafted the perfect Valentine's Day spread as we enjoyed a romantic night in. Everything was amazing from start to finish. She even messaged us a few hours prior to arrival, shared her arrival prep time, arrived on time, and even brought items with her she later used to clean up. She was so personable, engaging, and shared some amazing cooking advice with us as well!! The breathtaking Pan-Seared steak and scallops were cooked to perfection. The Mandarin Orange and Feta Spinach Salad were top notch and unforgettable, while the mouthwatering mashed potatoes were some of the best I've ever tasted in my life. By the time we got to the berry cheesecake, we were so full, but couldn't resist finishing after the initial first bites. I recommend booking Chef Christina for an unforgettable, interactive cooking experience for the ages. 11/10!!!

My wife and I got this service as a gift and didn't know what to expect from this experience but it turned out really nice. Chef Chris brought all the food and gear needed to make our home a French Bistro for the night. Chris walked us through the menu and gave commentary along the way as he produced some great food. He was awesome about cleaning as he went but finished cleaning every thing before he left. Overall it was great night night.

Sherita W.

I hired Chef Alice for a 3 course meal I wanted to surprise my husband with for his 40th birthday. I, my husband and our guests were over the moon with Chef Alice’s food, presentation and ability to pivot on the fly when one guest needed an unexpected food accommodation. All of the food was delicious, and her cheesecake was beyond delicious with a smooth, velvet-like texture and surprising ginger (subtle, not intense) crust — everyone was raving about it. I would love to have Chef Alice cook for us again for another occasion. Chef Alice, you are fantastic!

Alex D.

Absolutely incredible. We aren’t firm vegans but wanted to try this out and wow it did not disappoint. It was incredible, the dishes were all awesome. Could not recommend this more!

Due to an unexpected power outage, we had a wonderful candlelight dinner and Chef Alice was able to make the food so delectable, it melted in our mouths. We will definitely be reaching out to Chef Alice again.

I hired Chef Alice for a surprise dinner for my wife, and she did not disappoint. Chef Alice made the experience truly enjoyable, and the food was amazing. I would highly recommend Chef Alice and look forward to the opportunity to use her for future events.

Blair L.

07/01/2023

Chef Alice was incredible! We're not even vegan, but her plant-based 3 course meal looked too good to pass up. And it truly was!! It was decadent, and packed full of perfectly balanced flavors cooked to perfection--I'm still thinking about it and it was a couple of months ago at this point. And she was a real joy to hang out with on top of that. Thank you Chef Alice! Cannot recommend her talents and this menu enough.

Loretta Z.

Chris was amazing!! WE will definitely do this again. Thank you

CANDY N.

Chef Alice is amazing! Great personality, awesome service, and AMAZING food! I am a foodie with a very hard-to-please palate. The 3-course meal by Chef Alice exceeded my expectations. The crab cakes were the best crab cakes I've ever had and the shrimp and grits were layered with bold and intense flavor. I am now a bread pudding fan thanks to Chef Alice. I am really looking forward to my next Chef Alice experience! Book her now. You will not be disappointed!

Our dinner with Chris was fantastic! The food was delicious (and plentiful). His knowledge of all things Italy and Italian cooking is great. We would follow him on a cooking/eating tour in a heartbeat and would have him back in our home again. The experience was top notch!
