Introduction: I have been a professional chef in the Denver area for well over a decade providing upscale yet still approachable food. I even went so far as to get Michelin star training in NYC, SF, and Chicago. Over the years people have always been blown away by the creative and satisfying food I have made, so I decided to put on private tasting menu dinner parties at people's homes. Since then, several people have reached out for cooking lessons so they can learn to level up their day to day cooking (or to impress a special someone).

It was a pleasure working w Chef Chris. He was flexible and unruffled when we had to reschedule our dinner for 10 due to a huge snowstorm . We moved it to the day before the storm at the last minute, and he was gracious about the change. The dinner was delicious and beautifully presented . The flourless chocolate cake w homemade ice cream was amazing. Our guests raved and all had a wonderful time. On top of it all our kitchen was immaculate when the dinner was over. We highly recommend Chef Chris to anyone who wants to hose a special dinner to remember.

Chef Chris exceeded our expectations for our holiday party. We had a pretty large group with lots of different needs. Chris was responsive and helpful. He even helped serve pizza to all the kids. Food was exceptional. The quality of the food was apparent, and he created unique sauce and flavor combinations that made it delicious and really fun for everyone. Thank you Chris!

Chris prepared an amazing dinner for my entire family to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. It was one of the most delightful evenings we have ever had together! It was well planned, and the food, as well as the wine paring, was far beyond my expectations - so delicious and special! Chris was responsive to our requests as well as being creative to display his unique talents. The menu had variety, beauty and delectable flavors. He presented each course smoothly and with care for our pace and needs. He thoroughly cleaned up as well! 5 stars is not enough for this fabulous chef!
