My family thought the flavors were great, and that everything tasted remarkably fresh. I also like how the menu prices are what you pay - no other fees , service charges, or subscription required. Our standouts this week were the saag paneer, quiche and apple crumble pie. So yum!

Fantastic Personal Chef Service - Highly Recommend!…read more I can't say enough good things about this service. Love the meals and have full confidence they could make any dish I asked them to and hit it out of the park. I am especially appreciative of how well they listen and their ability to adapt. Whether it's a specific dietary need (keto for me) or just a craving for something new, they've always been open to my input. Not all services have this skill. Additionally the meals are helping to restore my health and energy -- I can feel my body responding in the best way. If you're thinking about hiring a personal chef, go with this one. You won't regret it.

Chef Joni is a pro!! What a wonderful evening…read more From fresh herbs for our ragu from her garden, music reminiscent of Italy and pasta made from scratch - it was a perfect night! And also our latest night out since New Year's #2020. We started off munching on appetizers including rosemary almonds and some delicious cheese and crackers while we made our dishes. The last time I made pasta from scratch was in my seventh grade cooking class during which I was always worried about being late to the next class period since the teacher never left us time to clean up. And I had to bribe my Spanish teacher to not mark me late by giving him my finished product. Needless to say I did not remember anything and this time was a much more pleasant experience. The pasta machine is super cool and I won't share the secret to the best alfredo sauce...you'll just have to take the class and learn it yourself! Then while we let the pasta sit we worked on the ragu. Veggies galore and Joni is great at ensuring everything can be vegetarian and working with your dietary preferences. Joni shared many different techniques and also the science behind the making of the food. For example, reasons that cooking a veggie a certain way provides more flavor. For dessert, tiramisu. Honestly, we were stuffed but always leave room for dessert! Anything you don't eat you can take home! Joni is super organized and was very accommodating of my wild schedule. Her kitchen set up is outstandingly beautiful with high end appliances and also ensuring COVID-safe measures. Plus the candle-lit dinner and recipes to take home are just a few of the wonderful detailed touches. Plus LEFTOVERS FOR DAYS. Like leftovers for a week. Of it all! A great date night in Italy!

Boy were we right. If you don't read my full review, all I can say is that Chef Joni was an EXCELLENT instructor and my team members and I had such a good time. We were smiling ear-to-ear the entire time we were there. Highly recommended from this Yelp reviewer. Detailed review below: Communication (5/5): We used the Cozymeal platform for everything and found their interface amazing. Chef Joni was very pro-active and communicated with me several times before the event date on January 17, 2020. What stood out about this communication was that she really wanted to know us. She asked good questions like "Why did you choose this class?", "What do you hope to learn from it?", "What are your goals?" etc. Really appreciate this since she can cater the class to exactly your needs. She was also very accommodating when I told her that one of our team members was a vegetarian so she made sure she had a vegetarian option on hand during our class. Finally, before the event, she gave us extremely detailed directions to the location of the event (including a picture) and what to expect. Really outstanding communication here. Location (5/5): Her location is in her house located in Sunnyvale near major highways. Lots of street parking once you arrive so no issues on parking. The inside is well decorated and everything seems to be remodeled including her kitchen which was very modern. See pics to get an idea. Food (5/5): The Master Italian Classics Cooking Class contains the following menu: 1.) Antipasti - Cheese, crackers, almonds, pepper jelly to snack on throughout the whole meal while you are there 2.) Handmade Fettuccine Alfredo 3.) Ragu (Mushrooms, many vegetables) - Our protein was lamb for the meat-eaters and tofu for our vegetarian team member. 4.) Tiramisu - for dessert. I don't want to spoil too much of the class but I'll share some of the highlights for me at least. Preparing the Fettuccine Dough from scratch including folding it, kneading it, was a really fun experience. Also running through the dough through the pasta machine to stretch it and finally cut it into actually the noodles was such a cathartic experience. I'm really happy I got to experience that. The Ragu was so delicious and so healthy at the same time as we barely used any vegetable oil and we put in so many vegetables. Finally, the tiramisu making was actually pretty easy but delicious at the same time. Now that I have been through how to make Tiramisu, I am confident I can make it for a party without issue. Also, if you can't finish all the food you make, Chef Joni gives you take-out boxes to bring home so you can enjoy the food again! Our group also had leftover uncooked fettuccine and we got to take that home. Chef Joni (5/5): Last but not least Chef Joni was an excellent instructor. She was so bubbly and easy to talk to and really put the group at ease very quickly. She was masterful on dividing up certain tasks in the kitchen so we can all participate in the cooking journey and made sure we were doing the steps properly. We asked her so many questions during our time in the class and she happily answered every single one of them without being annoyed. It was nice to finish the class with all of us including Chef Joni eating at the table. Chef Joni's passion for cooking really shines through her class and we had a great time! Our team can't wait to come back. Thank you Chef Joni for a great class.

Ruth cooked for us recently and I'm still daydreaming about that Sweet Potato Curry. When you think…read moreof a personal chef, you might think of fancy schmancy food you can't afford. This is not what Ruth does. Ruth cooks the kind of food you'll want to eat every single day - it's fresh, nutritious and delicious. Quiche, soba noodle salad, chicken enchiladas, lasagna, roasted brussels sprouts with acorn squash and quinoa - I can't wait to have her cook for us again! We got lucky and were able to get a couple of days of leftovers out of one meal, too! Her pricing is very fair, especially given that she does all the menu planning, shopping, prep, cooking and cleanup. I'm a gluten-free eater and it was zero problem for Ruth to make a menu that works for me. She also does vegetarian cooking and any other special requests.

Whether you have a really busy work day or are having a lazy Sunday, these meals (anything from salads, lasagnas, or stuffed eggplant) are ready to go on the spot. My best intentions are to do this kind of cooking myself, but after having too many work days that went late, those intentions were often spoiled. In everything from snacks, to desserts, to dinners for 6, Ruth makes a menu with my specific preferences (they can range from gluten free, to no beef, to healthy food or comfort food), does the grocery list, buys the ingredients and then comes to the house to create it. I thought this would be temporary for my family but....what can I say? The value, the meals, the dependability: It's just too good to quit. She creates healthy, fresh and tasty masterpieces and because of her, my taste buds can continue to live full and happy lives.

Chanda cooked for our family of fussy eaters with various allergies for a over a year before we moved away. I was so impressed with their understanding of nutrition and how it impacts health, mood and wellbeing. When chef Chanda took over our kitchen, I could see that my autoimmune illness was better, my husband's cholesterol was lower and my kids were eating a more balanced and nutritious mix of whole foods. I could see that she listened and tailored to fit our needs at every step. The end result was restaurant quality meals every day with ingredients that were hand-picked by her and were guaranteed to be clean and wholesome. This brings huge peace of mind if one suffers with allergies. One might think takeout food is easier, but there is no comparison as you can't scrutinize what goes into your food and for the same cost, with Lemon & Thyme you have a meal that is delicious and healthy to boot. We also found the delivery service invaluable when covid struck. It was reassuring to have her cook and deliver our weekly meals with the high levels of uncertainty all around us. We are grateful she continued to bring us her high quality food, hygienically prepared and safely delivered. She has continued to support us remotely with her meal planning. This has been a great source of help, especially in a new country. In summary, I would unreservedly recommend Lemon & Thyme to anyone who is on a path to wellness or looking to provide better food for themselves!
