We contacted Kim Kooks for a catered dinner and dessert for a family birthday gathering of about 20 people. Despite the short notice of about 10 days, Kim was very responsive and she provided us with a unique menu that accommodated vegan and non vegan diets, including vegan carrot cake and non vegan strawberry shortcake. On the day of the event, Kim was punctual and she had even made us an extra strawberry shortcake to accommodate those who prefer it with buttermilk. We found that really thoughtful. Both vegan and non vegan food and desserts were absolutely delicious and by the end of the party, people wanted to know where her restaurant was.

Kim was top notch from start to finish. She was always attentive and responsive in our planning, showed up on time with everything needed for a delicious night. Kim prepared the most scrumptious appetizers that were not only delicious but beautifully presented. Our entree was incredible, delicious mashed potatoes, chicken piccata, asparagus and a caprese salad, she was able to cater to a few allergies as well, leaving everyone raving about the food. During our courses she helped with cleanup and washing dishes and provided a delicious dessert and after dinner drink. All guest were so impressed by her in every way. Kim was personable and easy going, she even snapped some photos with our group, I couldn’t be happier with our choice to have Kim enhance our celebration, thank you chef Kim!

I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Chef Kim. We hired her for a dinner party for 12 people, and everyone was blown away by the meal. Chef Kim curated a Mediterranean menu that was so delicious, no one could stop talking about it. The food was made fresh in our kitchen, and we opted to be served family style. It was such a nice experience having a professional meal cooked in our own home. I recommend Chef Kim to everyone and will definitely be using her again. Thank you!!

Kim was fantastic for my bachelorette party, we had a group of 7 ladies, everyone was blown away by her personality, friendliness and most of all food quality. We went with an Italian menu and there were a lot of options for both meat eater and vegetarians. Everything was unique and absolutely fantastic in flavor and quality!
