Cannot say enough good things about Chef Meeshell! We were fortunate to have her prepare a delightful meal at a wonderful VRBO home we rented in Templeton just prior to the COVID 19 shutdown. From planning to execution everything exceeded our expectations. Meeshell takes great pride in every detail and made it so easy to enjoy a great meal with our friends and family. We’ll definitely use her again.

Chef Meeshell's reply

It's a pleasure to rave about Chef Meeshell. She has cooked for our family for years -- for weekly drop-offs, and for dinner parties and for big catered affairs. The food is always outstanding and beautifully prepared. When my mother was ill and on a special diet, Meeshell was expert at preparing healthy alternatives that made her condition more enjoyable. It's safe to say our annual holiday party is often attended by friends who always want to know -- if Meeshell is making her lobster mac apps this year -- not to mention the jewel cous cous and the special salmon. They say they are our friends--but they are also fans of Chef Meeshell. And to top it off she is a lovely person, who is a pleasure to have in your home. Our dog loves her too. And last but not least, we eat more healthy meals because of her. It's a win-win-win with Chef Meeshell.
