Wow, Daneen was incredible. She did a plated dinner for my sisters 30th at an AirBnB in Palm Springs and she was great, the food was AMAZING. She was also calm and resourceful when we found out the main oven wasn’t working and she had to move to another one across the house. The fish was incredible, mushroom lettuce wraps, a delicious salad, there was more but just everything was stellar. Can’t recommend enough, very cool, super delicious food.

Daneen created an amazing brunch menu for our best friend’s surprise 40th birthday. The food was not only delicious but was presented beautifully. She also timed her dishes to be ready when the birthday girl arrived. Her attention to detail, professionalism, and friendliness is why she has such glowing reviews. I highly recommend her for your private event!

The food was fantastic. We were all happy with the menu. Daneen made suggestions but we made the final decisions and got to combine items from several of her dishes. I suggest you add the wine pairing. Daneen was a great communicator, responsive and friendly. She brought everything with her and we didn’t have to wash any dishes.

We had Daneen cook a dinner for our family. We had quite a few food requirements which she had no problem working with. She made fabulous appetizers, 2 entrees and a delicious dessert! We all enjoyed everything and enjoyed it again the next day because there was so much food! She was so friendly and professional. I would definitely use her again and can highly recommend her!
