Sadly we did not get to work with the Taste of Difference in person because my husband and I had to cancel our special event because of COVID-19. However when my husband and I spoke to Taste the Difference on the telephone, we both found the Chef to be professional, responsive and the price of her food to be of value.

Details: Regular meal • 6 - 10 guests • Breakfast / brunch • Lunch • Dinner • Standard (basic ingredients) • Dessert • American - casual • Barbecue • Southern • Meal prepared onsite • Daily • I travel to the personal chef

Amazing experience from start to finish. Easy to arrange the dinner and received a menu prior to final payment. Chef was on time and ready to cook, professionally dressed and really went the extra mile to ensure the food was delicious. In addition to the outstanding quality she was very kind and friendly marking our experience that much better. Will definitely hire again

How did you get started doing this type of work?
My mother taught each of us the basics of cooking. I fell in love with it at a young age and decided I wanted to spend the rest of my life bringing the love of food to others. I took the first step in doing so when I went to Le Cordon Bleu and the rest, as they say, is history.
