Introduction: I love to cook and I have been cooking professionally for 14 years - everything from short order to fine dining. My cooking philosophy/ethic is straightforward: seasonal, organic, clean, comforting, from scratch, healthy and is generally within the California/French/Italian/Mediterranean genre. That being said, of course I am flexible and love to cook all cuisines and can accommodate dietary restrictions. @chefmikedunne.

Chef Mike gave us 2 five star experiences! He created memorable and special meals for two small dinner parties we hosted in our backyard. Our guests were blown away by the interesting and delicious dishes and his attention to all the little details including a gorgeous presentation. Beyond the food, he was very friendly and extremely professional. We will definitely be using Mike again in the future and hope he will be our “go to” chef for any and all entertaining we do at home. He is a rare gem and you will not be disappointed if you decide to hire him!

Details: Regular meal • 6 - 10 guests • Dinner • Premium (high end ingredients) • Mediterranean / Middle Eastern • I'm flexible • A few times per month • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

Amazing chef! So fun to interact with both coordinating the menu, scheduling the evening and throughout the dinner. Made us some incredible food and was quick, efficient, and tidy. He was out of our apartment before we even finished our meal and left everything immaculate! Will definitely book him again!

We had Chef Mike come and cook for my birthday. It was about 20 of us that he served. It was an extremely high class excellent meal and we all enjoyed it especially the way he plated and coursed out each dish. Majority of us are foodies so it’s a lot for us to see how much we loved the meal

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 11 - 20 guests • Dinner • Premium (high end ingredients) • French • Italian • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.
