Our group of eight people took private cooking lessons to prepare various Mexican dishes with Chef Bandy and his assistant. Each member in the group was involved in all of phases of the cooking as well as safety tips such as proper use of a knife. Everyone had a terrific learning experience from a very knowledgeable professional. Very personable with a great sense of humor as well. Everyone in the group was able to participate from food preparation and processing to final tasting. We plan on new future adventures with Chef Bandy.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with this private chef! From the very first interaction, everything was seamless, professional, and warm. The menu was thoughtfully curated, beautifully presented, and every single dish was bursting with flavor. You could truly taste the care, creativity, and high-quality ingredients in each course. Not only was the food exceptional, but the entire experience felt elevated yet comfortable. Our kitchen was left spotless, timing was perfect, and our guests are still talking about how incredible the meal was. It felt like a restaurant-quality experience tailored just for us. If you’re looking for someone who is talented, reliable, and passionate about what they do, I cannot recommend this chef highly enough. We will absolutely be booking again!

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 3 - 5 guests • Dinner • Premium (high end ingredients) • Mexican / Latin American • I'm flexible • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 – Amazing Meal Prep Chef..! I hired Chef Bandy to help me with healthy, protein-packed meal prep; and the experience was outstanding! Here’s why I highly recommend them: Healthy & Delicious Meals – Every dish was flavorful while being low-calorie, high-protein, and packed with veggies. No boring diet food here! Perfect for My Goals** – With 13 prepped meals (lunch & dinner), I know I will stay on track all week without stressing about cooking. Great Effort & Attention** – The chef listened to my needs and made sure meals supported weight loss while keeping me full and satisfied. Affordable & Transparent** – Charged a very reasonable fee and even brought his own seasonings and fresh veggies —I just supplied the protein, which kept costs reasonable. Convenient & Reliable** – Meals were neatly arranged and packed, ready to grab-and-go all week. No stress, no excuses! Delicious & Nutrient-Dense** – Every meal was **flavorful and satisfying** (no bland diet food!), with smart seasoning and perfect portions to support my calorie goals. If you need a meal prep chef who cares about your health goals, I recommend Chef Bandy. Thanks to his assistance, I’m eating healthy meals without feeling deprived! Would 100% hire again!

Details: Regular meal • 1 guest • Lunch • Dinner • Standard (basic ingredients) • American - casual • Italian • Southern • Mexican / Latin American • Asian • I'm flexible • Weekly • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

We had an amazing experience working with Chef Bandy! He came to our house for a cooking lesson. We were impressed with his knowledge, cooking ability, and his professionalism. Best of all, he was easy going and fun to work with. We highly recommend him!

Chef Bandy was INCREDIBLE. He was so kind - cooking for us in our home for my boyfriend’s birthday. He made us feel so comfortable! Chef cooked Beef Wellington (because we never get that dish!!!) with asparagus and special potatoes, great salad and dessert. It was a wonderful experience. We will hire him again to come back and cook for us. He loves making French food but is so good at so many things! I made this little menu too because it was a surprise.
