This was my first experience of having a personal chef prepare a meal for a very special event--a family gathering on the day after Christmas and included 12 adults and 6 children (ages 3 to 18). Daneen did exactly what I wanted and expected. She arrived on-time and after a brief tour of our kitchen, she went to work. She was fully equipped with her own tools. My guest were impressed with her efficiency and skills as she prepared Prime Rib, Leg of Lamb, and Pork loin, using our brand new double oven for the first time. She had somewhat limited counter space but managed to make it work seamlessly. Dinner was served "buffet style," without a single hitch and On-time too. Food was excellent and compliments were heard from everyone, even from the children (for her mac-n-cheese). Overall, this was a great meal and complimented our family gathering perfectly. Daneen blended with my guests as if one of them. She answered their questions about various foods and displayed a congenial and friendly demeanor. She even cleaned up and neatly packaged all the leftovers in plastic container for our enjoyment later. This was an excellent first-time experience for all of us. I highly recommend Daneen Green as your next personal chef. Well Done Daneen!! Colonel Mike, USAF, Retired

Daneen Cooked for a sit down party of 28 with such ease. The food was amazing and served hot. Daneen Cooked, served, cleaned and left my kitchen spotless. The prime rib and Turkey were so flavorful and extremely tender. I have used Daneen for 2 party’s and would highly recommend her.

FAQs

• What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

  You can't put a price on a one of a kind, exceptional experience, or a beautiful memory that will last a lifetime.

• What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

  Bringing a chef into your home is such a personal experience, so I like to start our relationship on a personal level by having a chat over the phone. I want to know you, know your vision, and assist you in planning an inspired, memorable event.

• What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
