Chef Marianne was fabulous and I would hire her again for another event. We had her prepare a special dinner for my sister's 60th birthday for 20 people. She prepared an extra special meal which catered to several dietary restrictions and allergies. Her professional and personal manner was perfect, as was the excellent meal which added to the overall lovely, intimate special birthday. Thank you thank you thank you. We will definitely hire her again. 12 out of 10!!!

Marianne was EXCELLENT!! I gave her an unusual challenge and she surpassed my expectations. My mom has a rare condition that causes her to be allergic to just about everything. It's been a tough adjustment on everyone because we didn't know what to feed her. She eats the same thing everyday. I wanted to surprise my mom with a four course allergy-friendly dinner for her 50th birthday, and Marianne was able to make it a reality! She started with some hors d'oeuvres. She made a black bean and corn dip with chips and some seasoned nuts which was very tasty! Next we moved to the appetizer which was a very yummy chicken broth soup which my mom loved! For the main dinner, we had Alaskan King Crab with some sides of edamame and the cranberry dip. The crab was soooooo good! She found a vegan butter for the crab and we loved it so much we went out and bought it the next day! And finally for dessert, she made some vegan peppermint ice cream which is my mom's FAVORITE!
Marianne also provided everything to decorate the table including silverware. She was completely prepared and calm which really helped me because I was so nervous lol.
Marianne and I had also been working on a special recipe book full of allergy-friendly meals for my mom. We finally have ideas for new food for her! It took about 8 months of communication and preparation for this to all come together but it was completely worth it. On top of Marianne being a wizard in the kitchen, she's also really genuine and easy to get along with. Her and my mom have a lot of interests in common so as a bonus we also made a friend :)
Thanks again Marianne for all your hard work, my mom said this was the best birthday ever 🫶🏻

Marianne created a wonderful party activity for my daughter’s 11th birthday. She came prepared with chef hats and individual cake decorating tip kits. The kids were engaged and interested throughout the activity. They especially enjoyed eating their creations! Marianne was a communicative, approachable, and thorough, particularly in the clean up. I would recommend her without reservation.
