I have absolutely no complaints and would recommend Chef Traci to anyone looking for a chef. She was great to work with. Her communication was on point and her menu ideas were creative. She delivered a wonderful and delicious meal on time. I will use her again for future events.

Wow! Working with Chef Traci was a great experience. I hired her to cater breakfast for a bachelorette party. We had many dietary restrictions and they were not a problem for her at all, and she was very communicative. We had a light/casual breakfast of roasted veggie quiche with hashbrown crust (gluten-free, dairy-free), peach muffins (dairy-free), banana oat muffins (gluten-free, dairy-free), and a delicious fruit salad with apples, oranges, dates, raisins, almonds, and coconut flakes. Her delivery driver arrived promptly on time and gave me a call when he was close. I thought the price was great and cheaper than other places I had looked at. All of the girls LOVED the food, probably some of the best gluten-free muffins I have ever had. I highly recommend working with Chef Traci!

I was planning a family party with about 25 guests. Since I wanted to enjoy the party while everyone was here, I decided to get it catered. I requested bids on Thumbtack and received a few. I looked the caterers up on Yelp as well. Cooking with Traci had 50 reviews on Yelp and 49 of them were 5 star. I hired her and was very impressed with her communication, flexibility in planning the menu and suggestions. The day of the party, she arrived promptly and had everything ready as she promised. I had ordered salmon cakes with pesto dressing, roasted corn salad, green salad with fresh veggies and watermelon-feta salad. We also had two large loaves of freshly baked bread. Everything was so tasty and our guests loved it. I would definitely recommend Traci for catering. She also holds cooking classes in Berkeley. I hope to try one soon! Think about Traci for your next party!

Chef Traci hooked us up with Chef Jack who did an absolutely outstanding job for our private dinner for my mom’s 65th. Chef Jack was punctual, kind, friendly, a fantastic cook, and cleaned the space better than what it looked like before he arrived. We’re all critical eaters but he managed to please us all. Thank you!
