We were visiting Phoenix, AZ for a Bachelorette Weekend and we hired Chef Steven for our Taco Nite…read more He gave us an amazing quote and an abundance of food items to choose from. When he arrived at our vacation home for the weekend, he was on time and he was prepared, he came with everything he needed. We were enjoying some music and playing bachelorette games while we waited and he danced along with us while in the kitchen cooking. He was so cool and he fit right in, it felt like a friend or family was cooking for us. While we waited anxiously because the smell of the food during preparation was so good, he gave us fresh guacamole and chips and salsa. He made this amazing street corn appetizer that I don't think I can live without. WOW! The steak and pulled chicken were both cooked to perfection. We had corn tortillas, hard shell, pico de gallo, rice and beans the absolute works, and every topping your heart could desire. We also had this delicious shrimp salad that was so colourful and yummy to our tummies. Everything was seasoned to perfection and prepared just right. Let's not forget the unbelievably tasty margarita he made, I mean I was in heaven, I wanted to bring him back to Atlanta. Thank you for being so professional and responsive during the planning process. You displayed such a beautiful presentation of food and we had an absolute blast with you! I will definitely keep you in mind for future events. HE TRAVELS!! Thank you for sharing your passion with us, it was delicious!. Many thanks from us 12 ladies! You made our Bride to be so happy, she was very impressed!

He arrived with all the necessary supplies (dishes, pots and pans, an amazing array of culinary knives) including the food, set up shop in our kitchen, and created a flavorful meal for our family celebration. He took care of the clean-up so no one lifted a finger. Everyone loved this experience and wants Chef Steven for an encore performance soon.

My daughter found Jodie's website and forwarded to me as I was recently diagnosed with breast…read morecancer. I wanted healthy meals prepared for me to supplement my own cooking. Jodie and I spoke on the phone and I made it clear I just needed meals. She thought she made it clear you also get nutritional guidance. She asked for $650 up front to cover cost of meals ((I only wanted 3 a week) but after paying and receiving three meals I calculated each meal was $54.00. She had indicated meals were $20.00 and the rest of the money was for coaching which I never wanted. I asked to stop the service and get reimbursed for what I didn't get....and she refused (even though she had verbally said she would refund if I wasn't happy.) Get a clear contract if you use her services. My bad for not getting one. Additionally Jodie is threatening to sue me for posting reviews. Kathy Parker

What was very important it was that she delivered the meal to us fresh and it was warm. I work in a field that is hard to take breaks to eat, and sometimes we just have a bite of something that might not be that healthy, full of chemicals, etc. That day our tummies felt great and we took care of our body. I will order another meal soon.

We will definitely call on Chef Eric and his team for our future catering needs.

I had the pleasure of meeting Dana Rohr, Instructional Gourmet Chef, and Owner of Taste Buds, this…read moreevening... and let me tell you, she is the real deal. I won't drop any names, but Dana had cooked for several A-list celebrities recently. Anyways, I accepted a last minute invitation from my brother to attend a 'cooking class.' It was a private class at our friend Ron's House. There were nine guests. I wasn't sure what to expect going in, but I was really impressed! Chef Dana is extremely personable and fun to learn from. She offers professional cooking classes held in the comfort of your own kitchen (or that of a friend in my case). She can accommodate dietary interests or special requests, including healthy, low-fat, non-fat, organic cuisine. She also does wine pairing, specialty food and drinks. Over the course of 2 hours with Dana, our group learned and participated in preparing tilapia in papillote, arugula salad, couscous all the while hanging out with friends, drinking wine, and noshing on appetizers. The food was delicious and healthy, and we had a blast! I know - you're wondering how much all of this cost, right? Less than $30 per person! I'm not joking! It would have been more $$ had we dined out at a restaurant, I'm sure! If you are interested in learning to cook gourmet meals in the comfort of your own kitchen, call Dana - she is fantastic. As a matter of fact, I'm going to program her into my cell phone right now!

My friend and I had the pleasure of working with Chef Dana for a private dinner party recently. My…read morefriend was turning 30, and we were looking for a unique way to celebrate that didn't involve going out on the town, since the birthday girl also happened to be very pregnant! Dana is a private chef who is very approachable and collaborative. For this event, my friend wanted to be very involved in menu planning and jointly work on preparation. Dana, my friend and I had several planning phone calls in which Dana was very open and willing to customize the evening based on the wishes of my friend. Dana is flexible and will either use food/ingredients that you purchase, or she can purchase them on your behalf (only billing you for the cost of goods + her hourly rate for her time). My friend did a lot of prep work for the dinner party, so that when Dana and her sous chef (her husband) arrived, they hit the ground running. I think they were only there for 3-4 hours total. Dana organized a bruschetta bar for mingling and appetizers, and then a seated 3-course dinner served family style. Dana and her husband served and helped to clear dishes, and also cleaned all the pots/pans/etc. before they left, which was right before we enjoyed dessert. I would definitely recommend Chef Dana if you want to host a special dinner in your home. Her hourly rate is very reasonable for what I would expect a private chef to charge for cooking in-home, and because you can save money by providing the food/ingredients yourself, Dana makes the "glamour" of a private chef quite accessible!

I ordered steak au poivre and every single filet was overdone! They should have been cooked medium rare but every single one of them was well done!What a waste of good steak. We had 2 vegetarians in the group so ordered the wild mushroom risotto which was nothing more than rock hard rice with mushrooms. Zoia and her assistant filled the AirBnB with smoke and set off the smoke detector. We all had to wait outside for the smoke to clear. I was immediately concerned when we sat down to eat at the prearranged time and she said that " everything was ready". The steaks should not have been cooked before we had appetizers and salads. I'm sure they continued cooking as they rested. If we had been in a restaurant I would have sent my steak back to the kitchen. I eat medium rare, not medium well!
