Chef Holli and Tony cooked one of the best meals I've ever had in New Orleans.Holli is incredibly dedicated to showcasing her families recipes. She menu planned with us and it was clear she has a passion for what she does.Each course was unique and packed with flavor. It was also a seamless experience from set-up to departure. I could not recommend this experience more.

This was such a special night! Every bite of food was better than the one before it and all allergies and preferences were well accommodated. She cared for every detail, localized the options, customized the menus for our friend’s baby sprinkle and cleaned everything thoroughly before she left. Separately she was just the sweetest and we couldn’t stop talking about how special the experience was! We’ll definitely use her again if we come back to NOLA!
Details: Brunch / dinner party • 11 - 20 guests • Dinner • I'm flexible • Dessert • Gluten free or celiac • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

From the first correspondence Holli was a joy to work with. She was easy to communicate and plan with. She guided me effectively to make great menu choices. The day-of service and food were incredible. Holli and her colleague created a stunning tablescape, cooked and plated absolutely delicious and gorgeous dishes all while offering top notch service and feeding into the energy of our celebratory dinner. The caviar and crab toast, chilled shrimp, gulf fish and steak and crab cake were all amazing.

I enjoyed the Private Chef experience of Holli so much! She was so nice and patient with me when working on the perfect menu for my birthday. I loved the food so much and she even recreated a specific type of cake upon request, that was so nostalgic to my childhood, which gave me so much joy. She is very professional, accommodating and just overall amazing! I am grateful to have had a chance to enjoy Holli’s cooking and couldn’t have asked for a better Chef for my birthday.
Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 3 - 5 guests • Breakfast / brunch • Lunch • Cocktail hour / hors d'oeuvres • Dinner • Dessert • I'm flexible • Dessert • Cold beverages (alcoholic) • Southern • French • American - casual • Vegetarian or vegan • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

Chef Holli was an absolute pleasure to have as part of our friends bachelorette celebration! We had reached out to Holli the week before the event and with a tight turnaround time she was able to set up a fantastic private dining experience and even reached out and helped us in booking additional bartending services. Overall the food, drinks and service were all exceptional and we would highly recommend using Chefs Holli services!
