I had Ana come to cook brunch for my friends and I during my bachelorette party, and she did not disappoint! The brunch buffet she cooked for us was absolutely incredible. I’d recommend Ana to anyone looking for a private chef in the phoenix/scottsdale area.

Chef Ana from Golden Hour Mini Cafe delivered an unforgettable dining experience at my Scottsdale vacation rental for my parents and me. From the initial consultation to her engaging onsite visit, her communication was impeccable and made planning a breeze. Every dish was crafted with care— the salmon was perfectly cooked, and her signature crème brûlée was a delightful showstopper.
Highly recommended!

I hired Golden Hour Catering for an in-home date night for my husband’s birthday, and this turned out to be an amazing evening! Chef Ana brought all fresh ingredients and whipped up an amazing 4 course meal for us. Not only was the food fantastic, but the service was better than any restaurant we’d been to! The portion sizes were incredible. We both had left overs. She cooked everything fresh in our kitchen, but by the time we finished our meal, the entire kitchen was spotless and you would’ve never known someone had just cooked an entire dinner in there! We will definitely use these services again!
Details: Date night • 2 guests • Dinner • Premium (high end ingredients) • Dessert • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

Working with Ana was nothing but a pleasure and I couldn't recommend her food any higher! I am a very picky eater and I wanted to bring in a private dinner for my mom but with even things I knew I would enjoy and let's just say there's not a thing I wouldn't be willing to try of Ana's food! From top to bottom the presentation was beautiful and elegant, and the whole service overall was just such a wonderful experience!!<3
