Gerry provided personal chef services for my family and friends who were staying at my home for a week; he provided breakfast and dinner for 10-12 people. I was really impressed from the beginning for his level of professionalism, punctuality, and the high quality of the meals he provided for us.You can tell he really loves what he does. Everyone was delighted and I am sure we will be asking him to help us again in the very near future. I highly recommend him.

We had the most amazing meal by Chef Gerard - he came to our AirBnB early and on time, cooked an amazing 4 course meal with seasonal ingredients. They brought our appetizers out to us where we were having cocktails outside, then plated all the meals beautifully. He also used local ingredients and breads, described the process and where things were sourced from. He was excellent in the timeliness of the meal, the meal itself, and the cleanup process. Was very responsive in the weeks leading up to our event in terms of creating the menu. Excellent value compared to the other options we had! Will absolutely be reaching out to him again and referring him to anyone who needs a private chef experience.

This was my first time hiring a private chef, and I am so happy to have chosen Chef Gerry, who planned, prepared and cooked a delicious and special 4-course dinner for our group of 8 in celebration of my sister's bachelorette. Gerry was thoughtful offering a menu of options tailored to my sister's food preferences, and was accommodating in making modifications based on preferences and dietary restrictions. I also loved that he focuses on sourcing seasonal ingredients from local Hudson Valley farms, and that many of the dishes highlighted these ingredients! The day of, he was flexible in accommodating an earlier start time. The preparation, cooking, and pacing of the meal (not to mention the food itself) was excellent! And he and his assistant left the kitchen spotless. Overall, Chef Gerry and his assistant made the dinner such a memorable, unique and special experience and was a highlight of the weekend. I would highly recommend him to others!
