Chef Dani is helping my family so much! I loved her from the first time we talked and knew it would be a great fit. Her food is healthy and delicious and we all love it, ages 3-40. I talked to a lot of personal caterers and Dani was obviously a great fit. We communicate very frequently and it couldn't be easier.

We chose Chef Dani to create a special, memorable Moroccan dinner for 10 guests, for my wife's birthday. And, boy, did she deliver! From creating a menu, to pricing, to communication, Dani held our hand through the process (this was the first time we had ever hired a chef). My wife Alison and I especially appreciated how Dani sourced her ingredients from the finest farms. We felt good about what we were eating, from an ingredients perspective. On the evening of the dinner, Dani and her crew were very professional and were very attentive to our guests, making sure all our needs were met. And the quality of the food was spectacular! The authentic Morrocan cuisine was divine and so memorable. I highly recommend Chef Dani and would definitely hire her again! Thanks, Dani! Dennis and Alison.

Working with Dani was great. She was highly professional, responsive, and kind. Her food was incredible. She cooked some of the best rice I've ever had. I would definitely work with Dani again.

I booked Daniella's services to celebrate a birthday in my family. She was fantastic from beginning to end - very fast in confirming availbility, offering menu options, and getting everything organized for us with a bit more than a 24 hour notice. We loved every single plate she prepared, her energy, and professionalism. Thank you Daniella, I am sure we will work with you again in the future!
