Words cannot express how AMAZING Chef Tau is!! In the midst of COVID my office made the decision to move forward with our traditional holiday party. We hired Chef Tau to teach us how to make a few dishes as well as a cocktail for our 2020 “Top Chef” Virtual Holiday Party and . . . the event was a HUGE success and much more than we ever expected and it is all because of Chef Tau. He taught us how to make a baked fish dish, two vegetable dishes and a cocktail. There was something for everyone’s eating habits. As we dined the team was singing Chef Tau’s praises and EVERYONE was full of joy and holiday merriment . . . an amazing feat in the midst of a pandemic. Chef Tau’s personality, teaching style and culinary skills are top notch and the meal was beyond delicious!! Believe me when I say, if you do not hire Chef Tau for your event whether it is in-person or virtual you are making a HUGE mistake. THANK YOU, Chef Tau . . . you brought happiness and deliciousness to our team and for that we are grateful!!

Details: 11+ people • Vegetarian / Vegan • Healthy • Basic cooking skills • Adult (over 18) • Beginner • My home, venue, etc.

My boyfriend hired Chef Mills to provide me a special birthday experience in the comfort of our home. Chef Mills was a part of the celebration providing exceptional food and ambience. He was extremely flexible to work with on all the details and his cuisine was amazing. I especially loved the chicken lollipops with a cilantro yoghurt dressing...they were sweet, spicy and smokey all at once. A scintillating burst of amazing flavors! I wish Chef Mills could cook for us every night! Thank you so much for being a part of my extraordinary birthday celebration!!

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 2 guests • Dinner • Premium (high end ingredients) • Dessert • American - formal • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.
