We frequently try to engage with a private chef on vacations. We were group of eight vacationing here in Scottsdale. From the first conversation with Chef BB I knew that we were going to have a tremendous experience. She offered interesting and inventive menu options that also accommodated the various personal needs of our group. She arrived exactly when she said she would and in 10 minutes the kitchen was full of delicious scent and sound. Chef Provided a relaxing experience between courses, taught us a few things (about food, cooking and gathering) and the meal was simply outstanding, the quality was 5-star. We look forward to returning to Scottsdale for another wonderful evening with Chef BB.

Details: Regular meal • 6 - 10 guests • Dinner • Dessert • Premium (high end ingredients) • Dessert • Mediterranean / Middle Eastern • Dairy intolerant • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

I just have a few simple things to say. Chef BB’s food was an experience that was executed flawlessly. She is incredibly kind and knowledgeable and an incredible chef who matches flavors perfectly. If you are looking for a personal chef in the Scottsdale area and you do not choose Chef BB, you are making a horrible mistake. BOOK WITH HER IMMEDIATELY!

If you’re in Scottsdale/ Phoenix for a personal dinner to a corporate event, Chef B.B. will only elevate your event.
