About
As a personal chef I prepare meals in accordance to the client's dietary needs. As a custom caterer I prepare meals according to a clients event. I provide clients with delicious meals. I can prepare a variety of cuisines, using different cooking techniques to enhance the flavor of the meal, while keeping it healthy. I specialize in meal planning for businesses, pets, couples, families, private cooking classes, seniors, children, moms-to-be, holidays and special events. Clients appreciate me because I'am a good cook, from simple to stupendous, and it's expressed in my food. My fair and economical prices come without service compromise. Plus, I have my food handlers' (Servsafe) certificate and show my clients that I care about their well-being on how I prepare my food safely. First, we will meet to determine what your needs are, e.g. frequency of dinner, weekly, bi-monthly, fresh direct, etc. We will assess your special dietary concerns, likes, dislikes and allergies. A cook date is set up where I will cook a meal for you to sample. Then, we will decide and prepare a customized menu for your palate. We set a date to begin. On the day of service, I do all the necessary shopping that is needed to execute the meals, safely in your kitchen with my mobile kitchen (pots, pans and utensils). I prepare the entrees on site, and at the end of the day, I leave your kitchen clean, refrigerator and freezer full, along with reheating instructions to optimize fresh-life of food. I use the freshest and best of ingredients. I have the ability to communicate well with client

Charisse catered a 14-person birthday party for me in my home that was an absolute success. She made the most delicious lasagna that's ever touched my lips, pasta primavera, salads and flatbreads that were gone in seconds! A fantastic communicator and extremely professional, Charisse really listened to what I wanted for the party and made the perfect amount of food. Looking forward to working with her again!

I used Charisse's services for an event for about 20 people. Our communication prior to the event was excellent. Charisse suggested some great dishes, she asked for my input while giving suggestions, and was very flexible in taking different people's needs/allergies into account. Among others she made a wonderful lasagna, a very tasty cauliflower salad, and shrimp salad wraps in tomato tortilla (my favorite). At the day of the event she arrived on time (which was super important for us), and the food tasted great! The price was also what we had agreed upon (which was also very important - no surprises). I can definitely recommend Charisse Davis.

I attended a bridal shower that was suposed to be catered by this "chef". I have to say I was very dissapointed. The food was as good a a prepared tray from Costco. Small finger sandwiches and wrapped asparagus. Knowing the brides family for 25 years and attending many parties with them this was not up to par with their standards. I honestly didn't think it was even catered. Though you got nice reviews 6 months ago as of this,month your quality of service, preparation, and professionalism has gone down hill. I would never reccomend you for not even a childs party. Customer satisfaction,and word of mouth is worth more then any service you have to offer. And the service you provided was highly unprofessional and unacceptable. When you make a mistake you should do everything in your power to right the wrong. Never hire or reccommend this chef.
The Commuter Chef's reply
Words uttered thoughtlessly in frustration or anger can be hurtful. If I am on the receiving end of someone’s unkind words, I have the choice to forgive or harbor bitterness. I choose to forgive. We have all been careless or thoughtless at times. I forgive others as I forgive myself, for words said and unsaid, and I release any resentment. Moving forward, I consciously choose thoughts and words that affirm and uplift. The thoughts I hold and the words I speak to others are carefully chosen expressions of God’s ever-present love.

FAQs

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    As a potential provider I want to listen and communicate so that I may execute the best meal that not only taste good but healthy for you and your family but that is within your economical budget. I also provide meals on trial basis so that we can see if we are good fit for one another.
