Michaela was incredible! I booked her for my sister’s bachelorette party as a welcome dinner kick off in our AirBnB. Not only was the food delicious, she was super accommodating to our request to have our four course meal served on our AirBnB’s rooftop - which involved bringing food up a challenging set of stairs multiple times. The food was to die for and our group has not stopped talking about the meal. She cleaned up and left our place better than she found it. Can not recommend her enough!

Chef Michaela is very friendly and extremely talented. I chose the "Elevated Italian Cooking" dinner. Everything was extremely flavorful and delicious. You will not be disappointed. I am happy I chose her to help me celebrate my engagement and I plan hire her again. Would definitely recommend if you are in the DC / Maryland area!

We had such a wonderful experience dealing with Chef Michaela and her staff! We hosted a party for 50 people. The number of compliments on the food and presentation was amazing. She and her staff were friendly and professional and the food was outstanding. She was easy to work with and her attention to detail was superb. Only disappointment was she left southern California and we cannot hire her again! The DC area is lucky to have such a fabulous Chef as Michaela to work with!

Chef Michaela provided me and my lady an amazing experience. She was punctual, very clean, cooked the food quickly, and very detailed with her display. Most importantly the food was extremely flavorful. I usually get the same thing because I know exactly what I want. And she found a way to make one of my favorites and make it taste better than I have ever had it before. I would highly recommend chef Michaela to anyone. We will be having her back next month!!

Chef Michaela pays super attention to detail and truly cares about her craft. She is an entrepreneur who started her own private culinary business and wants to share her love of food with all of D.C. I totally recommend working with her!
