We all loved the arugula salad. All of the food was good. First time using a personal chef on thumbtack and will definitely do it again. It was a last minute idea and made cooking cake through beautifully in 24 hours!

Melissa is amazing & easy to work with. She creates beautiful, tasty, and unique food to feed large groups that never feel or look mass-produced due to her unfailing attention to detail & she can work with your budget. I would absolutely hire her for my future catering events. As a private chef, she takes the stress and guess work out of prepping food for dinner parties and makes sure everyone (Including the host) has a great time.

Ma’s Cookin never fails to impress be it heavy hors d'oeuvres or a full meal plan. The Charcuterie we last had was incredible, a total work of art using the highest quality ingredients. People kept taking pictures of it before it was eaten. I am still dreaming about the Braised Brisket crostini with pickled shallots on parsnip puree, genius! Her crown roast of lamb was cooked to total perfection and presented beautifully. All of her sides are inventive and artfully composed. Chef Foltz is wonderful to work with. She takes the time to make sure she knows what your food vision is for your event and discusses everything including allergies. You will not be disappointed! We can’t wait until the next time we have an event or dinner party because you can be sure we will be hiring Ma’s Cookin!!
