Introduction: My services provide immeasurable value to my clients. I am here to make my client's lives less stressful, more time rich and inherently better by feeding them wholesome, delicious foods made with care. I believe that being a personal chef is more than cooking excellent food; for that reason I take great care in providing excellent customer service, effective communication, punctuality, straightforward pricing and obsessive attention to detail. The thing I love most about being a personal chef is diversity of work. One day I may be driving a boat across a lake to grocery shop for a private client and their 20 friends. The next week I'm dropping off meals for a busy couple with a new baby on the way. The week after that I'm cooking for a high school basketball team so they can carb-load before a game! On my quiet days I'm updating my website, hiring new chefs, working on taxes, marketing and more. Everyday is a new adventure.

As a business owner we have been referring Bonnie to our clients for months since we first discovered her. She has experience that ranges from wine pairing knowledge to high end catering experience. However, she is also able to meet the needs of all of our clients...no matter how complicated or simple that they request. We consistently get compliments on food for parties that she caters...and I find myself constantly saying "it isn't us but is our preferred caterer." Bonnie uses high quality ingredients and cares about meeting each individual client's needs and preferences. To top it off, her presentation skills are amazing! I will continue to recommend Bonnie's services to my customers and friends and hope that you give her a try as well!

Bonnie is wonderful to work with. She was highly efficient and answered all my questions immediately and in a prompt manner. Bonnie really turned it on catering my 30th birthday in October. I had friends and family visit from all over the US and they were very impressed by the array of delicious food on offer. Bonnie was great communicating with me during the planning process and helped immensely with organising the event so that is ran smoothly.

Bonnie has been catering my family holiday party for the past four years. Each year we have a small party of 10-15 people where we serve unique hors d'oeuvres and specialty cocktails, and every year I am continually amazed and impressed by Bonnie's creativity with the menu and drinks. Last year she wowed my guests with a diverse menu of specialty cheeses with perfectly paired spreads, a range of homemade dips, unique salads, and a variety of hot options (meatballs, stuffed mushrooms, Korean BBQ wings, etc.). In addition to serving some of the most amazing food I have ever had the treat to eat, Bonnie is professional, timely, and responds well to the needs of the client. I cannot recommend her services highly enough and hope that you too can benefit from her great attitude, excellent cooking, and professional manner. I believe she has also trained with some of the best chefs in the world and this certainly shows in her techniques! I would not improve anything about her menu or her work.

Chef Bonnie Rae's reply

Thank you for your kind words Sara. It's always a pleasure working with you and your friends and family. I look forward to many more years of working together.
