Introduction: How does it work? You reach out with the date, guest count, location and time of the planned event. We discuss style of service, menu and possible event needs or add ons. Once that structure is in place, pricing is broken down via invoice. Please note, your requested date is NOT secured without payment. If your event is more than 30 days out, 50% of your final invoice is required. If you’re event is less than 14 days out, the full amount is required to secure the date. Pricing is all inclusive of food,taxes and gratuity On the date of service, a clean working space and or kitchen is expected as myself and chef assistants are ready to rock and roll. We arrive 1.5 - 2 hrs prior to service, food will be prepared, served, introduced, cleared and kitchen will be left as we met it. What to expect? Professionalism from start to finish. Warm and energetic personalities. Beautiful and delectable food for a memorable evening.

Renee made my fiancés birthday absolutely perfect. My first chef cancelled and last minute arrangements were made with short notice it was worth every penny. We spent a few hours together and Renee made it seem like we were long time friends working on a project together. Renee was there to make this situation perfect and I couldn’t have wished for a better turn out.

Chef Renee was extraordinary. We had high expectations for the 12-course tasting menu that we brought in Chef Renee to perform; and she (along with her assistant Bree) surpassed all of them. We will undoubtedly be having Chef Renee back. It was Mother's Day weekend; and my wife and I had just eaten the night before in a two-Michelin-starred restaurant in New York (Restaurant Daniel), which was delicious. But my wife and I both agreed that essentially every dish that Chef Renee created was better those at the world-class Daniel restaurant. Chef Renee was also exceptionally professional, articulate with explaining the dishes, and organized and tidy both during and after the cooking. Our kitchen looked like nobody had even been in it. My wife and I have eaten at over 15 Michelin-starred restaurants across the U.S. and Europe. Our meal with Chef Renee was one of the best meals we have had in our lives. Pricey! But worth every dollar. I would recommend her to anyone.

Details: Holiday meal (Mother's day, Valentine's day, etc.) • 3 - 5 guests • Lunch • Premium (high end ingredients) • Cold beverages (non-alcoholic) • American - formal • Italian • Asian • French • Mexican / Latin American • Vegetarian or vegan • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

Renee was awesome!! I hired her for my sister's bachelorette party in the Poconos and she made an unreal meal for 16 girls!! The food was AMAZING, and she handled everything perfectly. We even had someone who was gluten free and she perfectly accommodated. Would definitely recommend and will definitely hire her again!!

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I've worked in restaurants & with high end catering companies. Branching off to perform personal and private chef work have also contributed to the wide range of skill that I have.
