I found a foodie kindred spirit! We enjoyed our anniversary in Greece, right from our own kitchen. The stories, the laughs, the FOOD! We were exposed to new flavors and techniques that we will be making for our friends to enjoy too. There was so much food, and the cake was beyond decadent!! And I didnвЂ™t have to do the dishes!!! Thanks Chef Cat! This was one of my favorite anniversary presents!

Chef Cat was an absolute delight and provided an incredibly enjoyable experience. Our group had the opportunity to delve into the rich world of Greek cuisine and culinary trivia, which was both enlightening and entertaining. The food prepared by Chef Cat surpassed all expectations (the chocolate pecan cakeвЂ”10/10!). The entire evening was a genuine pleasure, and we truly relished every moment of it.

My wife and I were visiting Houston for our 21st anniversary and she has a food allergy (soybean oil). There aren't many restaurants that can accommodate her. I wasn't sure how this would work in a small air b&b downtown, but Chef Cat made it was amazing. The food, the experience, and the chef were all great. I will be doing this again.
