Best southern cooking I have ever tasted, hands down! True professional in the kitchen and an amazing personality to match. She Catered my wifes baby shower, Her specialty is Southern food but since I am Mexican and my wife is Vietnamese she created and catered to our backgrounds. Vira made some of the best Enchiladas I have ever tasted and my wife along with her parents where very impressed the Vietnamese food she provided. Hire this chef for any event and she will amaze. I asked her to surprise us and she did such an amazing job, was on time, super friendly and professional. Could not of asked for a better chef. The only thing that could of improved the experience was that I got to full to fast. The food was so good that I just sat there and ate as much as I could as fast as I could and ignored my guest. I Should of took my time to enjoy the food more. But hey what can I say, it was so good that I could not stop eating.

Like a lot of folks I have some skepticism where online reviews are concerned. Its far too easy now to have all your family and friends write and post glowing reviews. As the reader, you have no way of knowing which ones are legitimate reviews or just good intentions. Having said that let me say right out the gate that Chef V is my dear friend and I have not used her services in the way a perspective client would. I have however, watched her blossom from a young woman who thought boxed mashed potatoes tasted great, to an up and coming Chef who uses fresh ingredients, has a touch for combining just the right herbs and seasonings and whose presentations still make me catch my breath. Ive sat at her table and enjoyed many meals shes prepared and loved them. Ive witnessed a few events shes worked on (a salon event and an intimate wedding, which by the way she planned the entire event like a mini Collin Cowie), and the clients were pleased with everything. It takes a lot to get a business off and running. The sacrifices you have to make would have most people throwing in the towel. But if you have the passion and the perseverance, anything is possible. Chef V has these qualities in abundance. You may say I am slightly prejudiced in my review of Chef V, and that may very well be. It took me several weeks to decide on how to approach writing this review. But I am also a straight shooter, and I do not give my word lightly. Chef V prepares delicious food with beautiful and sometimes whimsical presentations. I honestly believe you will enjoy the experience that is Chef V.

Creative, customization and classy, is what you get with Chef V. Knowing her for more than 25 years provided me plenty opportunity to personally indulge in some delicious amazing meals. I continue to be excited with her creative presentations and the unique experience received each time. She puts her own personal stamp, customizing each meal event in such an artful classy way that only Chef V. can do. Her love for her craft of cooking is not to be missed! Bon Appetite!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
There is no pre-fixed pricing. menus are crafted for each client and billed based on the market price and availability of their main entrée. We are fortunate to live in a state where most items are standard in availability and cost. Living in the agricultural belt of California has its benefits!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Yes. I plan to return to school to get my BA in Culinary Arts and in the meantime will take independent cooking courses along the way. I plan to take a course or two outside of US (Paris and Jamaica).
How did you get started doing this type of work?
My love for food started when I was young, watching my grandmother cook meals for the family. Fast forward, I enrolled in the California Culinary Arts Academy in 2010. So anxious to get started in the business, I dropped out after only 3 semesters but staying long enough to master the fundamentals.
