Booked the menu Surf & Turf Experience with Chef Huda in Philadelphia (East Passyunk)

We had the private surf and turf tasting experience with chef Huda and we highly recommend it! Chef Huda knows her way around a kitchen and got to work immediately preparing our meal. We had the beat salad, oysters, ribeye steak, and lemon tart. Everything was delicious and plated beautifully. She even served us. The seasoning on the steak was perfect. Beforehand, chef Huda provided me with wine pairing recommendations which was very helpful. I cant wait to try another of her experiences.

Booked the menu Italian Gourmet Experience with Chef Huda in Philadelphia (Mount Airy)

We booked Chef Huda for a private dinner at home. From her menu, we selected the Kale Caesar Salad, the Scallops & Risotto, and Olive Oil cake. Everything was outstanding - so delicious and flavorful. We saved a bit out of meal so we could enjoy it again the next day. Chef Huda also prepared the food very quickly, and made sure to clean the kitchen before leaving. I would highly recommend, and would book her again.

Booked the menu Surf & Turf Experience with Chef Huda in Philadelphia (West Oak Lane)

Chef Huda prepared an amazing birthday dinner for my fiancÃ© and I! Every dish was beautifully presented, perfectly seasoned, and absolutely delicious. She was professional, efficient, and left everything spotless after the meal. The entire experience felt special and well worth it. My only two critiques are that the crÃ¨me brÃ»lÃ©e wasn't fully set. Huda let us know when she served it, but it was a small disappointment after an otherwise flawless meal. Also, the experience lasted about 1.5 hours instead of the 2 hours that was advertised. Neither issue took away from how great the food was, but I think it's helpful for future clients to know. Overall, I would definitely recommend Huda for anyone looking for a talented private chef!

Booked the menu A Feast in France with Chef Jerzy in Swedesboro

Last night's French dining experience with Chef Jerzy was truly extraordinary. From the exquisite Brie en croute to the delightful Coq au vin and the heavenly Chocolate soufflÃ©, each course was a culinary masterpiece. Beyond the delectable courses, Chef Jerzyâ€™s infectious enthusiasm and down-to-earth charm transformed the dining experience into a lively culinary tutorial. Her insights and trade secrets added an extra layer of excitement, leaving us inspired to recreate her magic in our own kitchen. Whether for a unique date night, special event, or catering needs, Chef Jerzy is undoubtedly the go-to choice for a remarkable and personalized dining experience

Chef Huda was absolutely wonderful to say the least. Not only was each course of the meal fantastic and on point for the Mediterranean menu, but the Chef herself is a wonderful person to spend an evening with. The entire process was so easy and enjoyable from start to finish and I couldn't recommend it or Chef Houda more. Fantastic night all around.

Excellent experienceâ€¦Chef Daniel didnâ€™t miss a beat and knocked it out of the park. We will definitely do this again in the Spring.

Jamie R.

Booked the menu Traditional Spanish Cuisine with Chef Daniel

We had the best time with Chef Dan at our beach house in Stone Harbor, NJ for a surprise 30th birthday dinner. The chef was punctual and professional. We were a group of 9 people. Being such a large group, we know it is hard to please everyone, but each item on the menu was delicious and left us wanting Dan to come back again! All dishes were flavorful and described perfectly. We hope we can have Dan cook for us again soon! An added bonus is that he traveled over an hour to come to our house, which was so nice and generous. I'd recommend Chef Dan to anyone!

Teresa B.

Booked the menu Impressive Japanese Dinner with Chef Daniel

What a night! Chef showed up on time and made the most amazing 6 course meal we have ever had. Every single dish was so flavorful and complex! Really elevated dishes. He is also funny and down to earth. We had such a fun, relaxing time. Thanks so much!

John S.

Booked the menu Elevated Italian Cuisine with Chef Daniel

Every course of the meal was amazing and bursting with flavor! Chef Daniel was incredible as he described each dish, the ingredients, and his process. It made for an evening that my wife and I will always remember (and tell our friends about). If you want a truly special evening, book Chef Daniel!

Chrissy S.

Booked the menu Italian Favorites with Chef Landi

So much experience in life and in the kitchen. A chef came to our house but by the end we were saying goodbye to a long time friend. Detailed in every step and accommodating to the various skill levels in our group session. I can't say enough how much we enjoyed this.

Zite E.

Booked the menu Romantic Date Night Dinner with Chef Desmond in Havertown

Overall, the food was good and Chef Desmond was very kind. I wouldâ€™ve given 3.5 stars if I could. The reason for less stars is 1) because we felt very rushed throughout the meal. We barely had time to finish each course before chef desmond was taking our plates and serving new ones. I donâ€™t know if he had somewhere else to be but it felt like he was just itching to get out of our house and so we couldnâ€™t really take our time to enjoy the meal. 2) the main course wasnâ€™t really seasoned. the tuna was bland, the green beans were bland, and some of the potatoes were uncooked, which doesnâ€™t feel right considering how much we paid. I think maybe the rushing may have contributed to that. 3) he wouldnâ€™t leave our house without a tip, and I was planning to give him one anyway through cozymeal, but it just felt odd the way he went about it. Overall, not a bad experience, but I likely wouldnâ€™t do it again. At least not at this price point.
