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!

Hired Christina for a small family birthday party. She arrived right on time and was self sufficient in the kitchen. We ordered a variety of appetizers for dinner. We had a shrimp dish, tuna tartare, stuffed potatoes with short ribs, duck quesadillas and sliders for the kids. It was delicious! I sent the family home with leftovers. I would not hesitate to hired Exotic Chef again! Thanks, Christina and crew.
