- Mendocino Magic M.
I've had the pleasure of working with Chef Dilemma for the last three years. She has consistently been professional, flexible, and open to working in unconventional settings with ease and grace. I run an event venue (Mendocino Magic) which hosts a variety of themed campouts and special events throughout the year. Utilizing her feedback from the perspective of a professional chef who has had years of experience, I have been able to optimize the campground's cooking facilities to suit a wider array of catering needs. The growth capacity of my business has improved because of her critical input and the benevolent impact of her talented networking skills. I would recommend booking a tasting with Chef Dilemma for smaller private events at your home or office or retreat, feeding artists and volunteers for larger events, nurturing your wedding party, outdoor large animal roast, or even simply as a consultant for your next big idea.

We use Emma every year for a 50 person work retreat. She catered the entire trip, including breakfast, lunch and dinners. She sent a full menu beforehand and incorporated our feedback into the menu. Each meal somehow satisfied the carnivores, vegans, and GF eaters, without anyone feeling like they missed out. She did a majority of the prep beforehand so the meals were easy and on time, yet did enough prep on site so that everything felt fresh and made to order. I highly recommend having her prepare her carnitas or pulled pork for large groups, although honestly, you can't go wrong. Just don't book her during our yearly retreat :-)

Working with Emma has always been a delight for me. She makes delicious, nutritious food and creates an excellent environment to enjoy it in. Emma is a great direct communicator who voices her needs clearly and is proactive in finding and implementing solutions to any problems that arise.
