Had a wonderful experience with Chef Kaustubh. We cooked for a special celebration my wife and I had at our home. Chef K corresponded with me before the event to set a menu that fit our tastes, and even recommended wines which would pair with the various courses. On day of the event, Chef K showed up right on time. He discretely oriented himself to the kitchen and got to work. At the beginning of this process, my two year old was napping. Chef K was so quiet that the only way you would have known he was there was the incredible scents that started emanating from the kitchen. It’s hard to describe all the delicious elements of the meal we enjoyed, but what I can say is that Chef K created dishes and flavors that I had never heard of or experienced before. The quality of the preparation and presentation was exquisite. It was fine dining, but at home. At the end of the meal, Chef K cleaned up and it was as if he was never there. Highly recommended, please hire for the next special meal you are planning.

We hosted a dinner party to celebrate a birthday, and wanted to make it special. We reached out to Kaustubh to provide us with some sample menus and never looked back. He whipped up the most delicious dinner ever cooked in my kitchen, and I can not recommend him enough! It was the best experience and I would absolutely use his services again. If you are looking for a reliable, friendly, professional chef to prepare a superior quality, private dinner for you and your guests, no need to look any further - Kaustubh is your guy. 5 gold stars.

Kaustubh is truly a gifted chef with his use of unique flavors and vision for what he cooks. His food was as delightfully plated as it was delicious! He was such a kind person, he was a total pleasure to work with. I would absolutely have him back to cook a meal for my friends in the future!

Food was so amazing! He came right on time and cooked everything and was so accommodating with our vegetarian diet. I will definitely hire Kaustubh again! He is amazing. Also cleaned everything and put it back in it’s right place as well! Amazing experience.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing varies depending on the menu (Ingredients, number of courses, time and effort that goes in planning, shopping, cooking, serving and clean-up).
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I typically prefer an initial phone conversation to better understand the requirements and then come up with a menu based on the clients favorite ingredients.
