Chef Jenny made our girls weekend a memorable experience. From start to finish she was a great communicator and showed extreme professionalism as she brought our expectations to life. She went above and beyond by creating a leftover meal from the remaining ingredients from our dinner. Presentation was beautiful! The food was fantastic! I/We highly recommend her services. Rest assured you are in great hands and consider your search over.

Last month I was planning a surprise 30th birthday party for my best friend and I was in need of help! I had roughly 75 people whom rsvp'd and I needed something that would make this one to remember. A colleague of mine told me about Jenny and that she specialized as a personal chef, cake designing and catering. She insisted I call her and she didn't disappoint! When I first met Jenny I invited her over to my home and we sat down and I told her was looking for and then she gave me some great ideas. We decided on Hors d' Oeurves, stations around my house, bar service, full dinner menu and a custom birthday cake. Jenny's ideas for this cake blew me away! Her dinner menu was so delicious that I didn't have any left overs much to the disappointment to my husband. She had her own professional staff that were clean cut, looking sharp and they helped all of our guests with anything they needed!! I'm so thankful that she was recommended and without Jenny this wouldn't of been such a wonderful event. My family loved her cooking so much that my husband has mentioned that he wants her to cook for us full time:) Thank You, Jenny Tuner!!!!
