Boris did an excellent job teaching and preparing 2 appetizers, an entree, vegetable dish and a side dish for our adult children. He has a great personality, good entertainer and very professional. He is very accommodating and wanted to meet all our expectations for the evening. Our meal was better then many meals we would get a nice restruants. I will hire him again for any catering or parties we have in the future.

I hired Boris to cater a Celebration of Life gathering for 70 people. I was very disorganized and had contacted Boris just slightly more than a week from the party date. Boris came to my rescue! By the time we met, we had less than a week...he presented me with wonderful menu choices. I was pleasantly surprised that our final selections were exactly as he described.Our guests raved about the prime rib and portobello sliders. The salads and roasted seasonal vegetables were beautiful and guests were extremely happy with the variety to choose from. Boris was very easy to work with..he was efficient and thorough... The food was excellent as was the presentation and his team members helped make everything look so effortless. I will definitely use Boris again and highly recommend him to others...he made such an impression on the guests that they took most of his business cards to share with others.

Boris is professional - brings recipes, ingredients, and cooking utensils if needed. He keeps the lesson fun, interesting, and moving. I look forward to further lessons and possible catering services by him.

My wife and I hired Boris to cater our wedding at American River Resorts in Coloma, CA. We weren't planning to hire anyone as we had friends from culinary school that were going to do the job for us very cheaply, but that fell through and we had to go through a rush to hire someone and explain our unique and different menu (sweet potato bar, vegan chili, gluten free corn bread, special holiday sangria, desert bar, etc) on a somewhat limited budget with limited time. Boris was easy to work with and provided helpful solutions and was very amenable to changes but also insightful in his rebuttal when some ideas weren't feasible or could be done better given our circumstances. The day of the family was a few minutes late because of traffic on a small mountain road (a circumstance not within his or my control, lol), but they got setup quickly and had food out sooner than expected. The meal was absolutely delicious and everyone raved about both the meat based and the meatless chilis as well as the beautiful purple potatoes. SUCH GOOD FLAVOR!!!! The only complaint my wife had was that because they were late getting in, and some confusion, the sangria we asked them to make and place on the tables didn't get placed on the tables until about 30m in to the cocktail hour. Our bridesmaids had to make sure the sangria got moved from the kitchen to the dining hall. However, that's a minor issue, and overall because of the amazing flavor, quantity of food (and leftovers for a week, mmmmm), quality of production, and the efficiency of the whole team (which is a whole family operation) - we were highly satisfied with Global Gourmet. My suggestion to anyone is to be as clear and concise as possible with your directions and designate someone who is NOT the bride on the day of to do any of the logistics so that any of those minor issues won't be a problem. HIRE BORIS!

Our family was very satisfied with Global Gourmet for our Holiday dinner. The food was very good and Boris helped plan the menu. They were prompt, took care of us and did an excellent job cleaning up the entire kitchen. We will definitely use Global Gourmet in the future.
