Chef Sarena prepared an amazing dinner and breakfast buffet for our 20 guests at a Palm Springs 40th birthday party.  The food was spectacular and received universal raves from the guests.  Chef Sarena was also a delight to work with.  She was responsive to messages and helped plan a delicious menu for both meals, soliciting the host's preferences and designing a menu that reflected them.  But, again, the highlight was the food -- made with fresh ingredients and prepared with a meticulous attention to detail.  I would use Chef Sarena again in a heartbeat!

Details: Dinner • Appetizers • Entrees • Side dishes • Desserts • Cold beverages (alcoholic) • American - casual • American - formal • Italian • Mexican / Latin American • Traditional • 11 - 20 guests • Meal prepared onsite • Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • $81 - $100 per person • The personal chef travels to me

Chef Sarena prepared a delicious meal and worked with two guests who have many food sensitivities/allergies to make sure no off-limits foods were included. We had a wonderful celebration and loved Sarena!
