We had the most amazing day learning to cook paella with Chef Ingrid! This was a milestone birthday celebration activity, and Chef Ingrid made it special and personal. We learned the proper way to cut vegetables, the right ingredients to use, and how to make it all come together in a mouth-watering dish. We also made a delicious chocolate moose with heath bar crumbles on top that just melted in your mouth for desert. I'm sorry I didn't get a photo of that. To top it off, she served us never-ending mimosas to round out our morning. I would take a class from Ingrid again in a heartbeat next time we are in Bend, Oregon!!! Thank you, Chef Ingrid!!! read more

Delicious dinner for my mom's 70th birthday! She created a custom menu to meet our needs and favorite dishes. We even requested no onion or garlic which we know can be challenging. She seasoned all the food wonderfully even with this request. Would definitely use again and recommend her services! read more

My fiance and I wanted to have a small ceremony for just our parents. We wanted to have an intimate dinner for all of us. When we found Chef Ingrid, she asked us what we liked to eat and what we had in mind for a dinner. She designed a fantastic menu and was so easy to work with. Chef Ingrid and her husband came to our rental home in Redmond, presented a spectacular meal with a great presentation. From appetizer to dessert everyone was wowed. As with most weddings, our timing was a little behind. Chef Ingrid adapted very well and all of our courses were delightful. I can't recommend her enough. Her dinner was one of many highlights to a great day. read more

Ingrid absolutely blew me away! Our wedding plans changed on us last minute, leaving me only 2 weeks to re-plan the entire event. I found Ingrid on google and quickly booked her to cater our wedding party of 25 people. Our first conversation on the phone was fast, thorough, and left me feeling secure and excited about the meal! She had so many delicious ideas and was amazingly proactive, especially given such a short amount of time. She built my entire menu for me, including a mouth watering 100% gluten free dinner with steak, salmon, roasted finger potatoes, green beans, and caesar salad (with gf croutons!). She somehow also managed to make us late night bites with perfect popcorn balls and pinwheel sandwiches. And then to really top it off she made us the tastiest quiches for brunch the next morning. I honestly don't know how she managed all this food, especially with such perfection and care! To make her services even more impressive, she drove all the way out to Sunriver during a snowstorm! She put me a total ease and never once asked for my assistance or guidance. She took full initiative and control, which is exactly what you need in a caterer. She exceeded my expectations! I give her an A++++ read more

Absolute Perfection! A celebratory event we'll remember for ever! For our anniversary I arranged for Chef Ingrid to come to our home, even during COVID, to prepare a special meal for us. After all, no restaurants were allowing dining in, and this seemed like a unique and somewhat extravagant way to celebrate and enjoy a great meal. Ingrid seemed pleasant, unpretentious, and knowledgeable when we discussed a seafood menu (my wife's favorite cuisine). Her creative ideas popped forth from my basic answers about preferences, making for a delicious and and special menu, far above anything I had dreamed of. On THE day, she showed up on time, with a big box of ingredients carried in by her husband, who stayed and assisted. We supplied the wines, champagne with the crab cakes appetizer, a 10. Chardonnay with a fantastic green salad dressed with a most delicious citrusy dressing, also a 10. A seafood chowder was next, rich and creamy and filled with perfectly cooked seafood (crab, scallops, fish, etc.), 10+. We switched to A lovely Pinot noir with our perfectly prepared sea bass atop a generous portion of lusciously creamy and delicious spinach/mushroom risotto. Completely satiated, we pushed away from the dining table, just as Craig (husband/assistant), served a light (thankfully), wonderful dessert of sorbet w/fresh berries in a martini glass. Perfect! During prep., Ingrid was relaxed, engaging, informative. Her food was amazing, prepared with a casual elegance that made us comfortable, yet pampered and served at a proper pace, beautifully plated and ultimately delicious! Our dining experience was unique, memorable and well worth the price, which was just a tad more than one would pay in a fine dining restaurant, and far above anything offered in the Bend area. Thank you Ingrid and cheers! read more

Ingrid and her husband Craig prepared and served an outstanding dinner in our Black Butte home for my 70th birthday. All COVID protection was covered, and even in a pandemic they did it all from mac-n-cheese for the grandkids to custom cocktails. Could not have been better! read more

Do you need the perfect idea for a special, sumptuous gift? THIS IS IT! Our sons gifted us a cooking class with Ingrid at our home. We didn't know what to expect, was our kitchen workable? Would she need special tools and an assistant? A phone call from Ingrid a few weeks before her arrival put us at ease. She did everything she promised and more! We learned to make a true chile relleno AND a proper green Thai curry. We learned about how to chop and prepare all of it from a master. A master with a sense of humor, and so much experience that she made us feel confident going forward. Thank you Ingrid, you really enhanced our culinary lives! You are also the calm, fun, and professional person I will call on for future catering needs. However, you also made this little private affair super memorable. read more

Chef Ingrid Rohrer Personal Chef - Thanks again, Ingrid, we had so much fun from the very beginning! - Personal Chefs Near Me

I was recently gifted a week of Chef Ingrid's amazing cooking while I was recovering from surgery. It was such a fantastic gift. We received breakfast, lunch and dinner. Ingrid was fantastic about working with me to provide both healthy and delicious options that were low in sugar and included dairy alternatives like coconut milk. She managed to create dishes that all of us loved, including my two boys who can sometimes be picky. The portions were generous and provided plenty for leftovers. We loved her food so much that we decided to continue to hire her for weekly meals after our free week was done. read more

I contacted Chef Ingrid for a wedding anniversary. The process was much easier then expected. I wanted to surprise my wife, so I couldn't ask her what she wanted. From the beginning, Chef was helpful with suggestions. I chose 4 incredible winners. Scallops, butter leaf lettuce salad, fillet dinner and chocolate mousse for desert. Chef Ingrid and her husband came in and prepared perfection and served us graciously. At the end, they thanked us for our time and left the kitchen cleaner then we left it. read more

Chef Ingrid never did appoints. Love her creativity and attention to presentation as well as unique and savory food.

Chef Ingrid is THE REAL DEAL as the real deal can get! Every time I go to Bend, OR. I have to eat her food. I know a lot about food myself and I am always blown away by the flavors that Chef Ingrid can produce! And if you ask my wife what her favorite food is to eat, she will, without skipping a beat, tell you that anything that Chef Ingrid makes is her favorite! I could not recommend her enough! You will absolutely love anything she makes you. And to top that, she is one of the coolest people you'll ever meet. - As I write this I decided I'm going to have to go to Bend in the next week or two just so I can eat her food again! - read more
