Christine was an amazing chef and made our birthday celebration very special. She came the day prior to the event to prepare, was punctual and very organized. She used fresh ingredients and everything was delicious. She also listened to our request to go light on the spice. Mila did a great job creating the menu with us and it was liked by everyone. My only complaint was that logistics leading up to the event were a little unorganized, but this might be partially due to them squeezing us into their already busy schedule with a few weeks notice (which we appreciated). The assistant had the wrong time for our event down and was a little difficult to get ahold of, but we were able to quickly sort things out together and the event was successful.

Details: Regular meal • 11 - 20 guests • Dinner • Standard (basic ingredients) • Asian • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

We started using Girl in the Kitchen for weekly personal cheffing about a month ago. We have been blown away by not just the amazing food weve been eating, but by the organization, personalization, and customer service we have received. Mila made the process easy and stress-free from the start. And our chefs, Nicole and Rachel have been wonderful to work with. The convenience of having someone do the meal planning, grocery shopping, cooking and clean up for our family of five each week can not be overstated. This is an investment you will not regret!

Thank you Rachel! We love working with you!

This was my first event with Girl and the Kitchen and it will not be my last!!! I wish I was able to mark "all of the above"! Mila responded to my request almost immediately. Not having done an event like this, Mila walked me through the process. The team's punctuality, professionalism, attention to detail, outstanding food, incredible personalities...just to name a few...makes Girl and the Kitchen an outstanding caterer for one's next event.

Details: Corporate event • Cocktail hour or hors d'oeuvres • American - formal • Small bites • Yes, full service • Home • Yes, full kitchen • 20 - 29 guests • Premium (high end ingredients)
