  We had a terrific experience when we hired ChefThyme for a dinner and wine tasting party for 10 guests in our home. Leopold cooked us a 4-course meal while 10 of us tasted wine, talked and relaxed in and around the kitchen where he was working. I have never hired a chef before. It was all the fun of a dinner party, with almost none of the work and none of the stress with food! No planning, shopping, or worry that my meal won't turn out. Leopold has a very easy-going personality that fits in with any party. The food was delicious, unique, nicely presented, and I could tell a lot of work went into it. Leopold worked hard and quickly, but maintained a cool exterior and moved gracefully around the kitchen with all my guests hanging around, probably getting in his way. He cleaned as he went, so there was no big mess at the end. He even wiped down my big stove, which was the icing on the cake. ChefThyme made this party such a nice experience, I would not hesitate to do it again.

  Three friends of mine and I stayed at a full suite at the Silverado Resort in Napa on June 13th for a golf outing. We called Chef Leopold a week in advance to prepare a special mexican food themed meal for us. We asked that the service begin with homemade salsa and guacamole and adult margaritas made with only fresh ingredients (i.e., no store bought margarita mix).
  
  We also asked that he make fresh beef and chicken fajitas and two antijitos/appetizers (of his choosing).
  
  Everything he was exquisite! He showed up on time and was very congenial while preparing and serving the food. In fact, he was sooooo cool and the food was soooo good that we had him come back at 6am the next day (even though we didn't finish eating until 2am) to prepare breakfast (which was also fantastic) before our 7:30 round of golf!
  
  Leo is easy going and professional. We can't imagine returning to Napa without having Leo's artistry in the kitchen to kick things off for us.
  
  Thanks, Leo! We'll see you this Thanksgiving at Mom's house.

  We needed a personal chef for an intimate Valentine's Day celebration. Chef Leopold was so easy to work with. Our three courses, hors d'oeuvres & wine pairings were exceptional! Simply put, ChefThyme makes it easy to have an incredible time!

  We needed a personalized high end dinner paired with wine for ten people. Oh, did I mention there was a cost limit? Chef Leo delivered and BIG TIME! The amuse bouche was perfect for the wine tasing and the meal was perfectly delivered. Each course! I can't believe the quality and service for this price. Superb!
