Zac was professional, courteous, and an excellent chef. The entire evening went as smoothly as possible and my guests raved about the meal. Highly recommended.

So we hired him for our at home wedding & he absolutely killed it. Food was delicious, every single course. I will absolutely be hiring him again. If you are looking for a private chef, stop the search once you come across Culinary Abstraction

Zac was prompt in not only initial response, but in all correspondence throughout the booking up to the event. His menu options were plentiful, and our guests came to a consensus that selections would be made from his Winter Menu. The flatbread was a perfect accompaniment to our cocktail hour (I was the mixologist for the cocktail hour), the barley salad was flavorful as was the tomato/chicken stew/soup. The latter included carmelized lemons which was interesting in flavor and texture and well executed. Braised beef and braised chicken main courses were also intensely flavorful due to the amount of time they were allowed to braise. The bread pudding dessert was a fitting end to a flavorful and satisfying meal. Portions were overly generous, and as a true measure of success, the guests requested to bring home leftovers. Because our party consisted of 8 people, Zac was able to handle the prep, serving and cleanup by himself. He rinsed the dishes, loaded the dishwasher and cleaned the countertops. Our guests were pleased and we were pleased with the presentation, flavor and overall service. I would recommend Zac's service to anyone considering a private chef for a dinner party.

Zac made dinner for my mother-in-law’s 60th birthday. He was on time, extremely prepared, and easy to talk to. His passion for food is obvious, as everything he prepared was out of this world. He described each dish as he served it and even allowed us to join him in the kitchen while he worked so we could all talk and take in the amazing smells and sights. He made one of the best dinners I’ve ever had and my mother-in-law said it was the best birthday she’s ever had. We will all be using Zac, and his services, again in the near future!

Zac did an excellent job-from the quality of the ingredients to the presentation, we could not have asked for anything to be better. Highly recommend!
