Cassidy was a great chef! I hosted a dinner party with 11 guests for my mothers birthday. Cassidy was prompt and catered to my request of instructing the group in making sushi. We did surprisingly well thanks to her guidance, but the sushi she made herself as examples was by far the best!

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 6 - 10 guests • Dinner • Premium (high end ingredients) • Asian • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

Can easily say our experiences with Cassidy have been 10+++. Amazing chef with the ability to make many different types of foods from Asian to veggie to vegan any pretty much anything else. We have used her several times and look forward to having her cook for us again. She is amazing, personable and super talented. You won’t regret using her!!

Cassidy is simply THE BEST! We enjoy having her out 1-2 times/wk. for personal dinners, dinner parties and larger events. Must book!

Cassidy was personable, friendly, detailed and very welcoming. We had a hybrid class/private cooking event and it was perfect for a celebratory occasion. Highly recommend Cassidy!

We had 20 guests for a house warming party. Cassidy and her boyfriend showed up on time to start cooking in my kitchen. The menu was Charcuterie boards Cauliflower bites Stuffed mushrooms Caesar salad Fruit salad Roasted vegetables Lemon chicken The Charcuterie boards (this was very nice) Cauliflower bites (don’t recommend, not a finger food-too soggy) Stuffed mushrooms (nice) Caesar salad (big bowl of salad) Fruit salad (not pictured—served with my dessert, very good) Roasted vegetables (too small of a portion for 20 guests) Lemon chicken (biggest problem... she only made 20, they were very small thighs, with skin-I was expecting breasts. 2 per guests. Next time I hire a chef I’ll know to ask) They were very nice... but quantity of food for 20 adults was not enough. Five guests didn’t even get chicken... which means no one was able to get seconds on anything. See attached picture...buffet style .. that is table of all food.. for 20 adults.

Details: Brunch / dinner party • 11 - 20 guests • Dinner • Standard (basic ingredients) • Dessert • American - casual • Meal prepared onsite • Monthly • My home, venue, etc.

Hi Roxanne, As discussed prior to the party, the budget you were working with only covered enough for finger food. Especially since this was a cocktail party not a dinner party. The chicken thighs were of the highest quality you can purchase - free range organic jidori chicken thighs from a local butcher shop. In the future if you would like to host a dinner party, prices start at a much higher cost per person, since I always source high quality, organic ingredients. Hope this helps explain the outcome! Enjoy your week. Cassidy
