Before she left our area we stocked up on "anika food" via freezing and canning her creations. It was a sad day when we finally ate that last jar of carrot ginger soup. We miss her and highly highly recommend her creative and delicious services to anyone!

Anika and her cooking are great!!…read more I really cannot say enough good things about our experience with Anika and her amazing food. If you are a busy professional or family who is trying to stay fit and eat healthy, but lack the time or creativity to come up with fun and tasty meals, I would highly encourage you to reach out to Anika. Anika was able to work with some tricky dietary restrictions and make outstanding meals, each and every time. Value wise, the time she saved us in the kitchen, at the grocery store, cleaning up, etc., was worth more than what her very reasonable fees are. All in all, if you have ever considered hiring a private chef for yourself or for your busy family, look no further than Anika!

Chef Jenn is the BEST! My husband hired her for a private Valentine's Day Dinner at our home. Every…read moresingle ingredient and her incredible attention to detail (can we talk about homemade pickled micro-mirepoix?) was incredible. The quality of ingredients and special flavors and new tastes we got to experience that night were amazing. Plus, she is very friendly and has a great personality - she will happily chat and explain all of her techniques and uniquely sourced ingredients. I'd absolutely hire her again. 10/10. Still dreaming of the pork tenderloin and flourless chocolate cake.

There are no shortage of great things to say about Chef Josh. We've used him twice now for…read moredifferent celebrations and he has knocked it out of the park each time. In fact, after his latest visit we all agreed we needed to start bringing him in quarterly. Chef's cooking style is best described as transformative. He takes ingredients you'd never dream of being the star of the dish and makes it the most delicious thing you've ever tasted. Our last dinner we reqested to be completely vegetarian and he did not disappoint. Even the non-vegetarian at the dinner was blown away and left being the perfect amount of full. My husband avoids certain veggies in our day to day (texture) and the way Chef Josh cooks - well we've never left a plate bare, I can tell you that much. And when Chef Josh isn't looking.. we may have licked our plates clean. Pickling, crisping, pureeing, caramelizing - everything he puts in front of you "WOWs". Besides the food he serves, which is well worth the money, Josh's service is unparalleled. He is prompt, friendly and wonderful to chat with. He brings everything in and does all clean up as if he was never even there. Whether it's a date night, an intimate gathering or a group to impress - I would recommend hiring Chef Josh 110%. If you're even considering a private chef, look no further because there truly is no better!

Josh made the entire process seamless and handled all of the details. He arrived on time and left our house cleaner than before he arrived. We had 3 amazing appetizers, a wonderful white fish dish, phenomenal beet salad and over the top steak and gnocchi main course. Josh topped off the evening with a pear fruit and cake desert. Josh was very personable and was very interactive throughout the entire evening. Thank you very much for making my wife's birthday a memorable evening. I highly recommend Josh is you are looking a personal chef.

Chef Tici was very professional and honest from the very beginning. I was planning a birthday party…read moreat an Airbnb in Ensenada and was looking for a private chef to host. I came across her business on Yelp and immediately reached out to inquire about a taco bar. She quickly provided a menu and all the details I needed. Unfortunately, I had to cancel the Airbnb and reached out to let her know. She was incredibly understanding and explained that she does travel to the States, but with a slight increase in price. She also offered to provide me with a full refund. After consulting with my significant other, we decided it would be best to wait and book with her when we are in Ensenada. When I notified her, she was once again very professional, understanding, and promptly issued a full refund of my deposit. I truly appreciate her honesty, communication, and professionalism. I'm looking forward to booking with Chef Tici in the near future!

She even brought her own plates, silverware, and cute table runners! The meal was truly an amazing experience all the way around. Thank you chef Tici, I look forward to the next time!!!
