Kelsey, as it turned out, did not only drop-off the meal for our dinner party, but she served as personalchef, doing much of the preparation in my home. She prepared a fantastic New Year's Eve meal for 11 of us, working with us to arrive at a wonderful menu that satisfied everyone's very individualized culinary needs and requirements. Communication with her in advance was smooth and prompt. She arrived at exactly the time she said she would, made herself comfortable in my kitchen, presented fantastic appetizers, and then served a meal that was well-prepared, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. In addition to her culinary skills, she has a delightful and friendly personality. She clearly enjoys what she does, and she truly exceeded our expectations.

Kelsey came to prepare a meal in celebration of my wife’s birthday. I was truly happy with the entire process from beginning to end. It started with us working together to plan the perfect menu. Then she executed it amazingly. The food was delicious and presentation was awesome. I will be sure to recommend her to anyone looking to hire a chef.

Kelsey was AMAZING!!!! She came and cooked for a bachelorette welcome dinner and totally went above and beyond. People were RAVING for days about her homemade cherry crumble with homemade ice cream. She also worked meticulously to custom craft the menu with me. Well done, Kelsey!!

I hired Kelsey for a surprise romantic dinner for my bf and Kelsey's creations were even more phenomenal then i could have imagined! Kelsey helped me with choosing the menu, sending endless options until I was pleased.She was extremely professional, arrived on time & when serving each meal explained every item precisely. For appetizers we had the spinach & artichoke stuffed bread, with crab cakes + roasted red pepper aioli. The best crab cakes & bread I have ever tasted! For our entrees we went with balsamic brown sugar lamb chop with sweet potato mash with chili brown sugar crumble. & also roasted Rosemary chicken breast with baby potatoes & Brussel sprouts. The food was so flavorful and delicious!! My bf absolutely loved the lamb. I would def Reccomend Kelsey. She is extremely talented & her food was incredible. Each dish was just perfect. We loved our dining experience and look forward to hiring her again!

Kelsey did an amazing job for my wife’s birthday party. Kelsey showed up right when she said she would, and everything ran very smoothly from there. She was interactive with our guests when they had questions and was very easy to work with. We had a charcuterie board, deviled eggs, soup, salad, and short ribs. All the food was very high quality and expertly prepared. Highly recommend having Crisp by Kelsey cook for your next dinner party!
