My sister and I hosted a 90th birthday dinner for my father. From my initial contact through the completion of the event, Chef Kim was responsive and available for any questions or concerns. Despite a snafu on my part, Chef Kim was able to pivot and handle the situation with professionalism and grace. The table setting was beautiful and the food was delicious. Thank you Chef Kim for helping make my father's birthday memorable.

Kim did an amazing job preparing a birthday dinner for my wife and me. She arrived on time prepared a great four course dinner for me and my wife, explained each course and work with me on all my wife’s favorite foods. I loved the service she gave and highly recommend her to anyone needing a personal chef.

I was in need for a personal chef to celebrate my sister’s birthday. Kim was very responsive to my request. Kim provided a Mediterranean menu for a group of 15 women. Kim’s professionalism was absolutely amazing. The food was delicious!

I engaged Kim to prepare a small plates menu for 2 for our anniversary. The experience was way beyond expectations. I can't say enough about it. First, Kim provided an extensive selection of interesting and unique dishes to choose from and we ended up with a 7 course meal. Once here, Kim set a beautiful table. I did not need to provide anything or do anything at all. We felt so pampered. The food was outstanding, all dishes prepared artfully with unique seasonings and combinations of ingredients, textures, and flavors. It was some of the best food I have experienced and I have eaten at many top restaurants. To top it off Kim herself was a joy and we all engaged in great conversation while she cleaned up and we digested. I highly highly recommend Kim as your in-home personal chef. A Fantastic experience!
