Chef Basma came and cooked at our home for my husband birthday. This was our first time experiencing a chef in our home. This experience was way more than we expected it to be. Chef Basma did an amazing job! I highly recommend her! Everything she prepared was tasty! The steak was very tender and the garlic butter mash potatoes were to die for. My husband is still talking about how good the homemade French dressing for the salad was.😋

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 3 - 5 guests • Dinner • Standard (basic ingredients) • American - casual • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

I reached out to Craft Personal Chefs less than 2 weeks prior to my event. They were quick to respond and provide me with a sample menu. What I appreciated most was their timeliness, professionalism, hospitality, and communication. What we loved best was the food and presentation! We had a seafood and steak feast! Everything from the salad to the sauces was delicious. The cake was presented beautifully in a delicious raspberry sauce. We even had leftovers to enjoy. After preparing the amazing meal, the chefs cleaned and washed the dishes! We had a wonderful time and can’t wait to host another dinner party with Craft Personal Chefs.

Details: Brunch / dinner party • 6 - 10 guests • Dinner • Standard (basic ingredients) • Dessert • American - casual • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

I hired Craft Catering for a baby shower of about 20 people. Our menu included: - Arugula and apple salad with goat cheese stuffed mushrooms - Plated stuffed mushrooms - Roast Beef Sandwiches - Tandoori chicken skewers - Potatoes bravas - Garlic shrimp with crostinis Food that needed to be prepared fresh-- hot dishes-- was prepared at our venue. Everything we had was delicious and flavorful especially the garlic shrimp. Craft catering was very easy to work with. They were very professional and worked hard to make everything just right for our event. I would hire them again.

Details: Shower (baby, bridal, etc.) • 11 - 20 guests • Lunch • Premium (high end ingredients) • Dessert • Cold beverages (non-alcoholic) • Hot beverages (coffee, tea, etc.) • American - casual • Gluten free or celiac • Vegetarian or vegan • Meal delivered • Only once • At the pro’s location

I organized a last minute birthday dinner for a friend. I contacted Basma on Tuesday and she and Chef Khan were ready to roll on Thursday evening. My friends and I were blown away. At a relatively affordable price point (given having an in-home chef is very luxurious!), Basma and Chef Khan did the most incredibly gorgeous and delicious Mulligatawny soup, plated like pure art; vegetarian lasagna with roasted vegetables and from-scratch marinara that was stunning in presentation and sensational in taste; peas pulav and raitha (so, so good) and Aloo Gobi that blew everyone’s minds. Everything was phenomenal. I can’t recommend them enough.

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 6 - 10 guests • Dinner • Standard (basic ingredients) • American - casual • Italian • Asian • Mexican / Latin American • Mediterranean / Middle Eastern • Vegetarian or vegan • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

Where do I begin? We hired Chef Khan for my mother’s birthday party. 6 of us enjoyed a private meal orchestrated by him. It was OUT OF THE WORLD DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!! Everything about the experience was exceptional; we SO enjoyed having him at our party. Basma was incredibly good at helping organize everything leading up to the day. The food was exceptional. And the price was spot-on. We will ABSOLUTELY be using them again. Thank you!!!
