Just wonderful. I hired Chef Asheesh for a small dinner party Friday Nov.1, 2019. I wanted to have some people over for dinner to thank them for being so great to work with. Unfortunately, I’ve been having some back issues. I couldn’t cook and didn’t want to do takeout. I was nervous about hiring a chef but read a ton of profiles, chose Chef Asheesh, and went for it. So glad I did. My only regret is that we were so busy enjoying ourselves, I forgot to take pictures. The hors d’oeuvres we had were the balsamic steak bites, poke on Persian pear, caprese sticks, and baked ravioli. All were delicious and presented beautifully. For our meal we started with asparagus spears with a poached egg and hollandaise sauce...so good. Our entree was a wonderful sea bass in an incredible heirloom tomato reduction that smelled devine while cooking. We ended with an amazing Tahitian vanilla creme brûlée cheese cake. Chef Asheesh was wonderful to talk to while cooking and offered tastes. He served our plates and presented them perfectly. He cleared the plates and there aren’t words to describe having a great dinner party and walking into a clean kitchen afterwards! One guest could only stay for wine and hors d’oeuvres and she had to park a block away. It was already dark out and he offered to walk her to her car, which was so nice! We had a wonderful night and it all felt so easy. Reasonable price too — it’s really about what your menu choices are and how much time and detail they require. I thought price was beyond fair. I’ve realized this is the way to go...I got to relax and enjoy my guests! Thanks Chef Asheesh!

Chef Asheesh made our anniversary so special! He took the time to understand what a meaningful menu would be and worked around our dietary issues. He arrived promptly, made himself familiar with the kitchen, and proceeded to prepare amazing appetizers and meal. This allowed us to continue our cocktail zoom with friends and we felt really pampered. The meal was delicious and he cleaned up so we could relax. We enjoyed chatting with him, but would have spent more time with him except we were trying to keep socially distant. Next time, we hope post-covid, we can have him back for a cooking class! Thank you, Chef.

My family had a GREAT experience with Chef Asheesh! We hired him to prepare a birthday dinner for my mother-in-law, and our group of 11 was wowed by the quality of the food as well as his pleasant personality and the interaction we had with him as he prepared the meal. Everyone is still talking about the evening and how perfect it was! In addition, Asheesh was prompt and clear in his communication with us, and he worked hard to understand the event we envisioned as well as creating a menu that met our needs.
