Maggie and Al delivered absolutely high quality delicious family style meals for my large extended family! They were very easy to work with and so helpful in creating crowd pleasing menus that were fresh and healthy. My 3 young kids loved the food too! The menus are accessible but elevated and they were able to adjust to cater to the folks around the table for each occasion. Incredibly delicious, fresh, easy re-heating instructions, responsive, professional. I highly recommend their services. My family has had a lot of experience with different personal chef services over the years and in different cities- Maggie and Al are at the top of the list. Cheers!

Al and Maggie cooked for us in our home for a special occasion for 75 people. They executed the hor deuvres and stations and hot food seamlessly. My guests were so impressed and everyone remarked on the exceptional food. We enjoyed getting to know them and were impressed by how organized and professional their methods were. Would hire them again and again.
