I decided to go for individually wrapped meals so that I could easily take meals with me to work, and it really helped me get out the door each morning faster and eat healthier too! Would highly recommend Chef Kirsten's services.

I can't say enough good things about Kirsten. Honestly, having her cook for our family has been…read morelife-changing. I spent MANY hours each week planning meals, shopping for meals, and cooking meals. This burden has been lifted from my shoulders and lets me focus on running my small business (and other things in my life). On top of that, we are eating WAY better than ever before. She makes incredibly fresh, delicious, and nutritious meals for us. We FEEL better when we eat her meals. And they are so yummy, I can't wait to sit down and eat her cooking. And when I say fresh... I mean FRESH. She goes to special stores to find the freshest seafood. She roasts fresh garlic in my oven to add into soups she makes for us. And many other time-consuming things that I would NEVER have time to do. And guess what? She cleans up everything before she leaves. My kitchen is spotless. She even cleaned up a bunch of spilled almond milk from my son in the refrigerator that she had nothing to do with... which brings me to the last thing I want to share. Kirsten is a super kind and considerate person. She always shows up with a smile, and is so kind to everyone in my family. Every week when she is here, I am just SO grateful. Grateful to have the burden of cooking removed from my life. Grateful to have healthy, delicious food. And grateful to have someone as nice as Kirsten in our lives.

I was looking for a caterer for a small {50 guests}wedding. After talking to 9 different…read morecompanies, I chose Flavor Chef. during my first call I could tell the owner was all about making my wedding perfect and serving the food my guests would love. Well he did not disappoint, from the appetizers to the desserts, each course was a hit. I am still getting compliments about the food served. I guess the best part of my experience with Perfect Chef was how easy they were to work with, nothing was too hard or complicated. Their staff were efficient and polite and did it all with a smile. Did I mention their cost was less then the other catering companies. I guess my experience was like the other reviewers....EXCELLENT. I would use them again and definitely recommend them to family and friends.

We had not anticipated such an amazing experience given it was for a small dinner party (10 ppl) versus a big event like a wedding or retirement party. The appetizers were amazing and dinner was perfect. We will definitely be coming back for any future needs. Everyone in our dinner party loved the food and the experience. Basically, we are all super fans!

She responded right away, and as soon as we spoke on the phone, we had a menu picked out surprisingly quickly! I told her about my girlfriend's food likes and dislikes, and she gave great recommendations of her favorite dishes to prepare. On the day of the dinner, she arrived right on time - an hour before appetizers. All I had to do was point her to the kitchen, and she took care of the rest! She prepared the food and also served for our party of 7 (6 adults and 1 child). She even did the dishes as she needed them! She prepared an amazing asian dip served with snap peas and rice crackers, grilled shrimp on avocado and cucumber, a salad with greens, mandarin oranges, feta, dried cranberries, candied pecans with a balsamic vinaigrette, a baked risotto with spinach and artichoke hearts, grilled asparagus, and a macadamia, coconut, panic crusted salmon with sweet chili sauce and wasabi yogurt. She finished the dinner with a chocolate mousse. When the dinner ended, you would never have guessed that a 7 course meal was just prepared in our kitchen. It was spotless. Everyone RAVED about how amazing the dinner was. Overall, she made the evening quite memorable, and I would absolutely positively have Stacy do another dinner for us in the future. HIGHLY recommend.

We did everything by email with Cassie in the beginning. We had a hard time choosing the food because the options were vast - like overwhelming almost. I finally chose "stir fry" because it was vegetarian and we also got a chicken option and some appetizers like salmon and charcuterie. The apps were delicious. The "stir fry" however was not. It was underwhelming to say the least. And it was so much food I felt like it was really thrown together. Soggy veggies. Limp ramen. I asked for pictures ahead of time so I could see what I was getting but nope they don't have pictures of their own food. Weird. The best part was Blanca who dropped off and picked up everything. She was really nice and helpful. Cassie the owner never reached out to confirm the party ahead of time and worse - didn't call to see how everything was afterward. This was over $1000 I spent on food for 24 people!!! I wish I had just gotten chipotle honestly. Pic is of the charcuterie that Blanca put together. People liked it and the mushroom purses too.

He created a fantastic menu, which was only surpassed by the beautiful presentation and delicious food. Everything was amazing--especially The Mexican White Shrimp "Gambas Al Ajillo" and the Maple Pecan Bread Pudding, both were off the charts. Portions were generous and leftovers were meticulously stored to enjoy later! Clean-up was impeccable. I couldn't recommend Flavor Affinity any more enthusiastically, Thanks Jason!
