About
My specialties are vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free dishes. But my shrimp risotto is famous, too. You should ask me to be your private chef for a nice and small gathering with friends or family. Cozy Dutch style home cooking! Brunch or dinner party?
I'm obviously very passionate about cooking. But what's really fun is to treat others with my favorite dishes. Whether on request or chef's choice, I'll promise a balanced and delicious menu.

It was my first experience with Thumbtack and I made the right choice with the personal chef, Mandy. She made a fantastic meal for me and my husband. The 'burger' without any meat was the most delicious I've ever eaten. The salad was a pleasure to look at, a mix of the best ingredients and very tasteful.
The attention to detail and her kindness have made it for me an excellent experience.

I had the pleasure of eating food prepared by Mandy this past week, and it was absolutely amazing! We had a yummy lentil tapenade for the appetizer, along with a cocktail made with thyme-infused prosecco and blackberries that was just amazing. The first course was a beet soup with coconut milk, which was so delicious (and vegan!), and then we had a rice and acorn squash dish (the best acorn squash I've ever eaten), followed by a pecan and cranberry pie, that was ABSOLUTELY perfect (it was my favorite dish of the night).
I really enjoyed the entire dining experience. The food was elegant, and the flavors were interesting; the rice had an orange-tahini sauce that was unique and surprising, and everything was cooked and seasoned perfectly. It really was one of the best meals I've ever had.
Also, Mandy is just awesome. She made the entire night perfect. I would definitely LOVE to eat her food again and would recommend that anyone try her out! Five stars for SURE.

Mandy is a great person, cook, and host. Her fairly recent switch to a GF diet turned her into a wonderfully creative cook at that. I also happen to know that one of her secret hobbies is grocery shopping. In short: you can't go wrong with Mandy!
