Introduction
*NOT AVAILABLE FOR MEAL PREP OR DELIVERY. I love to cook and I have been cooking professionally for 15 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.

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.

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.

Chef Mike is the best! We booked him for a last minute dinner party and with very little notice, he worked with all of our preferences and ideas and delivered the most delicious food we’ve had in a long time. Fresh ingredients, so good and presentation was awesome. He made a homemade fresh corn ravioli that we are all still talking about, and his chocolate mousse and chocolate chip cookies were amazing. He also made a swordfish dish that everyone was raving about. The apps that he prepared were equally delicious, and it was hard to pace ourselves to save room for the meal because the starters were so good. We will definitely be reaching out to him for our future dinner parties. He’s also just an all around gem of a human being - easy going, friendly and super chill. If you’re thinking about hiring him, don’t hesitate!
