RUN, don’t walk, to book Chef Taylor for your next event!!! If you are looking for a personalchef to cook you the most incredible, delicious, fresh, authentic cuisine you’ve ever tasted from the comfort of your own home, look no further then Chef Taylor – she is your girl! We worked with Chef this past weekend for a surprise Bachelorette dinner, and it was a massive hit!!
Not only was the food delectable (& reasonably priced) but Chef was beyond responsive & helpful in the weeks/days leading up to the event. She provided numerous mouthwatering menu options and graciously allowed me to swap out different dishes that catered to our preferences. We had a large group with a lottt of different food allergies/dietary restrictions. Chef took each and every one into consideration when crafting the menu and could not have been more kind & accommodating through the whole process!
On the day of the event, Chef arrived with all of her own equipment & was completely self-sufficient in the kitchen. While our group was out exploring New Orleans during the day, she provided me status updates via text which gave me complete peace of mind knowing I could count on Chef to deliver exactly what we discussed by the time we arrived home. When she was finished cooking, the kitchen was immaculate--you would have never known they were ever there.
If Thumbtack allowed, I’d give Chef Taylor (and her assistant J—shout out to J!) more than 5 stars. She was a true delight to work with start to finish and I can’t thank Chef enough for making our weekend so memorable.
Chef Taylor—THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts for an UNBELIEVABLE experience! You are a true Culinary Talent, Boss Lady & and Incredible Human. I’ll be dreaming about that Skillet Cornbread & Crab Dip for weeks! Until next time…

Chef Taylor was really great! She provided menu options and worked on a speciality item for someone with allergies. And her food was exceptional. She catered a party and every single person absolutely loved her food. We were going for authentic Cajun and she really delivered on that. I still think about the meal and wish I could have more of it. Thanks, Chef!

Chef NOLA made my husband's surprise Birthday dinner a success!
The food was delicious! We had crab dip w/ toast, ceasar salad, Lamb chops, crawfish pasta, asparagus, and bread pudding w/ a brandy sauce! When I tell you the food was indescribable delicious!
If you hire Chef NOLA you will not be disappointed!

Chef Taylor was fantastic!! She prepared a delicious meal for 10 of us for a special occasion. She incorporated all of our requests into a fantastic night. From supplying everything needed to cleaning up, we didn't have to worry about a thing!!
