Chef Tom prepared a most delicious meal for my mother-in-laws 75th birthday. The quality of the meal and detail that Chef Tom and his assistant included made for a very special and memorable occasion. Everyone was stuffed and there were still leftovers that Chef boxed up and left in our refrigerator. He left the kitchen very clean and overall we were very pleased with everything. Thank you Chef Tom!

Tom and Cristina were absolutely AMAZING!! My family and I couldn't be more happy, and could not recommend them enough. If you're searching for a Chef and Tom's available, stop searching now and book him (you're welcome). We will rebook every time we come back to Tahoe. Thank you!!

I can't say enough about Chef Tom and Kristina (sp?). From the beginning my questions were answered promptly and on the day all I had to do was sit back and enjoy the company of my friends without having to worry about the food and kitchen clean up. The food was delicious and plentiful and suited all my guests tastes and Kristina was attentive to our needs during and after service. I have no hesitation in recommending Chef Tom to anyone looking for a Private Chef

Details: Brunch / dinner party • 6 - 10 guests • Breakfast / brunch • I'm flexible • Dessert • Hot beverages (coffee, tea, etc.) • American - casual • Italian • I'm flexible • Only once • My home, venue, etc.
