private chef, gabriel zaleta

Chef Gabriel was an absolute treat! He made booking with him so easy and was also very flexible, having had to change the destination due to a mixup he accepted the change no problem! He cooked my partner and I a 3 course meal plus a cocktail during a much needed vacation to idyllwild. Having loved going out and dining pre covid, we really wanted to have that same experience more safely and chef Gabriel did exactly that! Among his cooking skills he is a great conversationalist as well, making it very easy to have him in our space ! Once you book him for the first time you’ll understand why I added his contact information to my phone right away for future bookings!

Chef Gabe’s food was outstanding! Working with him was a pleasure, he was very communicative and very personable with all of our guests. Thank you Chef Gabe for an amazing dinner!

Hired for an onsite small gathering 4 course dinner in Yucca Valley, Chef Gabe is a talented and responsible professional. The menu and food itself were incredible. I really felt it all flowed together, obviously a result of thoughtfulness and skill. He presented every course and explained each dish to the guests, which everyone loved. From the menu conception to the end of the meal day-of, he made it a worry free experience. I would not hesitate to hire him again or recommend him to friends and family.

My sisters 30th party was a huge success!! The food was amazing and we all had so much fun! We will definitely hire Chef Gab again!!

Chef Gabe was a joy to work with! I hired him for a birthday dinner for my moms 65th. Gabe took my menu ideas and created a delicious 3 course dinner that we all enjoyed! Everything from the ricotta tart appetizer to hand made pasta was absolutely delicious. We had a wonderful experience working with him and would surely hire him again!
