Thank you, Chef Mordechai for an unforgettable meal! Every dish was a masterpiece, bursting with fresh, seasonal ingredients (from his own garden!) and cooked to absolute perfection. We honestly felt like we were transported to a Michelin-starred restaurant, but with the added comfort and intimacy of being in our own home. Thank you for the amazing experience!!

Excellent food and quick prep time. An all-around great experience for a unique birthday dinner. Chef Lorenzo even let my nephew "help" with the prep a little and have some fun in the kitchen!

We had a great time and can’t wait to book with Chef Charles again. Charles’s approach was very informative. We learned a lot about how to sear meat and cook on high heat; for example holding the pan at an angle away from you as you place the meat. Chef Charles made everything so easy and the food was the best. He is also a very interesting person and loved his stories as a chef. Can’t wait to work together again!

Charles cooked an outstanding meal! The flavors all came together beautifully and we all devoured the meal. We would definitely have him back! Thank you for helping make a special evening to celebrate a birthday dinner.

I hired Charles last minute for an at-home birthday dinner for my husband. We were so pleased with the experience! The food was fantastic and he took the time to teach us a thing or two and to share his favorite Bay Area restaurants. We’d love to see him again, perhaps for a class with friends.

Food was a 10/10, great taste! Chef Charles was friendly and arrived on time. However, he did appear a bit sloppy. Wearing flip flops, a tee shirt, and a zip up hoodie, I was a bit nervous if we had the right person coming to cook us dinner. Overall, we liked the food, just a lack of professionalism.

Chef Sara cooked the best Indian meal we have ever eaten! It was an honor to have her cook in our home. Highly recommend her for a home cooked Indian meal or dinner party.

Chef Esh-Marie is delightful and so nice to work with. She knocked an Xmas Eve surprise out of the park and recommend her for your next gathering. Meticulous, responsive and was grateful to have her.

Loved it! I'm from Italy myself and this was an authentic, real italian dinner. Lorenzo was super easy to communicate with, very responsive, kind and accommodating. I will def book another class with him! Grazie Lorenzo, you rock!!

Chef Dirk prepared an 8-person Italian pasta feast for my husband's birthday - it was PERFECT. He was incredibly warm, prepared, efficient, and engaging. The 4-course meal consisted of expertly layered flavors, perfectly cooked pasta, and a mind-blowing dessert. What really made it special was Chef Dirk memorizing the names of everyone, as well as the 2 birthdays and engagement we were celebrating. When he was finished, he left the kitchen cleaner than when he started. One thing I wish I knew beforehand was that preparing so much food would take time - and it is worth the wait! Definitely plan for this and either have folks arrive an hour after Chef Dirk's start time, or have some appetizers or things to snack on.

Chef John cooked a delicious 4-course meal in our home for our wedding night. It was great not needing to think about how to feed our guests as it was all taken care of by the chef. Thank you so much!

Wow! Chef Dirk was like his cuisine, utterly amazing! Chef Dirk made me and my partner’s night by coming to our apartment and cooking wonderful, European dishes. He not only provided the historical context of the dishes, he also recommended appropriate wines that complemented the foods so well. I will surely book him again and highly recommend everyone to do so as well!

Chef John was great to work with, a very open and inviting personality. He was diligent and good with time management in between dishes despite the fact we were fast eaters haha. Everything was absolutely delicious!

Chef Dirk was amazing, he did such a good job. I really cannot recommend his cooking enough. the food was exquisite, and beautifully presented, the flavors all worked incredibly well together and the meal was one of the best we have ever had.

Chef Roger was simply amazing. He delighted us with a custom vegan menu, full of flavor, fresh ingredients, savory flavors, and healthy options. He conversed with us, but then allowed us to dine together as he faded into the background. He was kind. He was efficient and cleaned up as well! It was the perfect way to spend our evening. We will certainly have Chef Roger back in our home!

This was an OUTSTANDING experience! Our group of ten loved his food. So fresh. Such uncommon combinations of flavors and textures. It was like dining on a Michelin Star meal at home. He arrived on time, prepared, with his team. He was very generous with the quantity and quality of the food. He has a special source for ingredients that the average home cook would not have access to on their own. He and his team served us, as though we were in one of the finest restaurants, using fresh dinnerware for each course. Our kitchen was completely cleaned up and things were put away before they left. Our highest recommendations go to Chef Roger.

Chef Roger was amazing! I booked for my husbands birthday, and prior to the event he messaged to ask for tips on what we liked, was very responsive, and when he got to our place he was set up and running in less than 10minutes. The food was also phenomenal and exactly what my husband loves. He set the table, served each course with an explanation and chatted to us about each dish and his experiences which made for a very chill and lovely evening. At the end he cleaned up and my kitchen has never looked better. Highly recommend!!

Had an office party of 11 Saturday night. Chef arrived exactly on time however appetizer was not served at 7:15 as promised, came at 7:45. Didn’t get main entree until 9:15. Chef had told me she would be bringing a sous chef, but she came alone. Guest had told help her clear plates. When she left, the flowers she brought were on the kitchen counter next to the vase, she never got them to our dining table. Lobster was good, Caesar salad and steak just mediocre. Chef was quite pleasant but could not serve us efficiently, disappointed evening especially at $135 per person, not including tip.

Chef Lorenzo was great - friendly, amiable, and filled with great stories about the dishes that he chose. However, we weren't huge fans of the food itself and it wasn't as flavorful as we had hoped.
