Chef Christina and her team were absolutely amazing. I needed a personal Chef for a private birthday dinner because our original chef cancelled just hours before the event. The Exotic Chef responded immediately, secured my requested menu, showed up on time, prepared meals onsite for both days, served and assisted with our theme. Beautiful private chef experience. Great energy and very professional. Food was absolutely amazing. Very flavorful and to top it off the presentation and set up was just what I had envisioned. We will definitely be booking with them again.

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 11 - 20 guests • Breakfast / brunch • Dinner • Standard (basic ingredients) • American - formal • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

All I can say is wow! Chef Christina and her team were incredible. I hired them to cook dinner for a retreat i was hosting and not only did she provide a wide range of healthy, super delicious dishes but they dressed the table so beautifully too. Our guests could not stop talking about the food and we even had some leftover for lunch the next day which made everyone very happy! I Can’t wait to have her cook for us again!
