Chef Stephanie catered my husband's birthday party yesterday. I ordered several trays of heavy appetizers and a charcuterie board. Everything tasted delicious! There was an ample amount of food. She printed a menu so everyone could see what was available. She is very professional with quick responses to my questions. She delivered the trays herself. I'd definitely use her again! read more

Chef Stephanie and staff did an amazing job of making my wife's birthday truly enjoyable for all! The food and service was terrific and enjoyed by all our guests! Thank You Chef Stephanie! read more

Chef Stephanie created a memorable evening for a private dinner! Chef Stephanie and Jamie worked in beautiful syncrony to arrive at the Airbnb we were staying at and do a full take over... providing every detail from flower arrangements, table setup, to the beautiful 4 course meal (salad, soup, main, dessert). Chef went above and beyond to accommodate numerous food allergies and preferences within our group (celiac, soy, walnuts, pescatarian) providing 3 different options for the main course alone. We appreciated the attention to detail, and communication that was laid out well before the event so that there were no surprises. The custom menus were a nice touch too! We would definitely love the excuse to work with her again! read more

Wow,i use meals for the last six months and i can tell you that is the best meals plan I ever had! Amazing food,healthy choices and tasty!! Love chef Steph read more

Chef Stephanie catered an amazing celebration dinner for our family last weekend. Every aspect of my experience was five-star quality, from menu planning through the perfectly-timed delivery of our scrumptious meal. Everyone at the table raved about the food, and we raised our glasses to Chef Stephanie and crew! Stephanie is the consummate professional on both the culinary delights side and the management side of the business. I highly recommend her for a zero-stress, fun, and memorable event. P.S. I'm still thinking about the cumin-spiced pork chops with yogurt sauce. read more

We have subscribed to Chef Stephanie's prepared home cooked meals for two, since this past September. We couldn't be more pleased with her meals delivered to our home each week. Her meals are ample for two people and sometimes, depending on what the chief cooked - a nice small lunch. Her soups are delicious! Love the varied and still crunchy fresh vegetables. All the meals are varied and always a dish or two of grilled meats and vegetable's. Chef Stephanie uses varied culinary flavors with interesting spices. We also had the opportunity to experience her wonderful catering expertise for a relative celebrating an anniversary. Such a tasty array of hors de' oeuvres that were served to guests. We recommend Chief Stephanie with 5 Stars read more

Stefanie was a delight to work with, provided outstanding food, met all her commitments, and surpassed my expectations. I'm sorry I didn't take pictures. You are truly missing out if you don't hire Stephanie read more

Chef Stephanie catered an afternoon tea bridal shower I recently hosted. Chef was great at communicating during the planning process. She always responded in a timely manner, and is accommodating with dietary restrictions. One of the bridal shower guests is gluten intolerant (which I informed her of beforehand), so Chef Stephanie made gluten-free sandwiches for that guest. Also, our bride-to-be is vegetarian, and there were plenty of vegetarian options for the tea sandwiches, and the entire tea service was vegetarian. We opted for a drop off style catering since it was a tea service, and figured guests would be choosing their own items once they were on platters. The delivery person (Stephanie's husband whose name escapes me right now), was on-time, friendly, and professional. All of the food was absolutely delicious. From the cute little tea sandwiches, to the addicting petite fours, and shortbread cookies -- every guest loved the food. I'm still thinking about the blueberry scones. Delectable. I would definitely recommend Chef Stephanie for any catering needs. read more

Chef Stephanie's meal prep service was exactly what our busy family needed. She took the guess work out of meal planning, shopping and cooking (and cleaning).

I attended a private dinner and wine pairing where I was able to sample Chef Stephanie's food and it was simply amazing. I loved it all! We had beautifully presented hors d'oeuvre's that included seared ahi tuna on cucumber, crab salad on a crispy wonton, tri-tip skewers with a tasty chimichurri sauce, sausage stuffed mushrooms, mozzarella wrapped in prosciutto, and a chocolate mousse with raspberries for dessert. So good. It was the perfect variety of small bites. Each was paired with a wine which added a bit of fun. I love delicious food. Chef Stephanie did not disappoint. If you are looking for someone to cater your dinner party, or are in need of a personal chef for your weekly meals check her out. She's also a gem of a person! A super cool girl who knows her way around the kitchen. read more

So it has been a few years since we used Stephanie for my brothers wedding. Yet she still pops up in my mind every so often... and I think, I need to leave her a review. Because she is AWESOME! I never imagined that meals could be both healthful and delicious. My brother hired Stephanie for a small family wedding and she is worth every penny and the time she took understanding and accommodating all of the dietary needs and personal tastes. Every dish she made felt like a treat from an exquisite restaurant but in the comfort our hotel suite! read more

I had the pleasure of attending a private food and wine pairing event, sampling Chef Stephanie's culinary gifts. Hands down - THIS is how I prefer to eat - healthy with so much flavor, texture, and balance in every bite and just the right touch of indulgence here and there. AND her presentation is on point. The descriptions on the menu were enough to peak my curiosity - however the actual tasting is something that truly has to be experienced. We were treated to: 1. Crab & chive salad on a crispy wonton 2. Deviled eggs 3. Seared ahi cucumber chips with black sesame seeds 4. Prosciutto wrapped mozzarella with herbed olive oil 5. Sausage stuff mushrooms 6. Tri-tip skewers with three-herb chimichurri And for dessert - Chocolate decadence with fresh raspberries and bacon wrapped dates I would be hard pressed to choose a favorite - each was divine in its own way. You can taste the love, experience, and pride in her offerings. Chef Stephanie, or Chefanie, as she is affectionately known, is professional and discriminating in her craft, yet friendly and down to earth. She is definitely at the top of my list for any future catering needs! read more

I reached out to Chef Stephanie to cook for a small private event (8 people) to celebrate my boss's wife's birthday. Chef Stephanie was more than helpful and patient with me while I went back and forth with my boss about menu, diet restrictions, change in guests and more! (sorry we were so complicated Chef!!) Chef Stephanie went out of her way and went up to their lake house in Copperopolis to give my boss and his guests a once in a lifetime experience! They absolutely loved the food and how clean Chef Stephanie left everything. 10/10 would go back to her!! read more

We had the pleasure of enjoying Chef Stephanie's appetizers, delivery beautifully and safely. They were amazingly delicious and she was able to adapt to things that would work best for us.

I hosted a small party (12 guests) for my sister's 50th Bday and found great reviews for Chef Stephanie on Yelp. She was very communicative throughout the process and helped me choose a menu and even go a little off rogue and choose a salmon dish not on her standard menu. She, and her husband who did the delivery, were very professional and even provided a beautiful typed menu in a display stand. I would definitely recommended this service. read more

Chef Stephanie served a wonderful birthday dinner for our family. From menu planning to clean up, she was first rate.

I reached out to Chef Stephanie to provide meals for my father and his wife. It was framed as a gift to my Dad, but it was really to support his wife, who was becoming exhausted supporting my Dad, who has dementia. They both loved the meals, and they appreciated Stephanie's team looking out for them. Now that my father is in an assisted living facility, his wife is continuing with Chef Stephanie's meals. She has come to appreciate knowing that dinners are available to her in the refrigerator or freezer. It was easy to correspond with Stephanie by email and to pay by Venmo. I heartily recommend her services. read more

Having Chef Stephanie cook a 4 course dinner for 2 was such an amazing and fun experience! First, Chef was very communicative until the event. She took the time to have a phone call prior to discuss the menu and exactly what we wanted. Excellent customer service alone! Second, the food was amazing. Chef allowed is to watch her cook (we asked) and we learned some new tricks. She made the best filet I have ever had, and I eat them a lot. From the salad to the soup, all totally fresh and delicious. If you are looking for a way to treat yourself and eat amazing food, hire Chef Stephanie! read more

Chef Stephanie knows her stuff! First of all, Chef Stephanie is a master of her craft. Her use of flavors and textures and visual presentation make EVERY event she's part of a pleasure. I had the joy of getting to sample from her afternoon party set up at a friend's house. The cheese board was on point and, what I think was the hit of the party was the stuffed bacon wrapped dates. Seriously delicious and I hear they are one of her signature appetizers! They were smokey, salty, sweet and creamy all at the same time. I was on a diet at the time I attended this event and let me just say... I went off the diet that day to indulge all the wonderful goodies thinking that I would gain weight over night. I did not!! The ingredients are all fresh, wholesome and locally sourced. When you eat good food with good people and the joy factor is there, calories don't count and the scale proved it! Thank you Chef Stephanie, your food is amazing and so are you! read more

Chef Stephanie catered a small family reunion for me at my aunt's house last Saturday. I coordinated the event remotely from another state. We had a combination of pass around hot and cold Hor d'oeuvres and then a lunch with spinach salad, fish, chicken, and roasted vegetables with a cookie platter for dessert. The food was excellent. Chef and her team were very professional and prompt. The servers poured wine, passed out the appetizers, cleaned up and were very courteous to the guests. I wanted a jazz band to play for an hour at the end of the meal and the chef found a good one (Midtown Jazz, a trio) for me. She also contracted with a florist for me to provide pretty fall arrangements for the buffet and a few other spots. Now, she is not the cheapest game in town, but if you want an event executed properly without having to worry if it will come off well, she is your girl! I would definitely use her services again. read more

I recently attended a clothing party with Chef Stephanie and the spread she had set out was to die for. There were cheeses of all kinds, fresh fruits and olives and nuts and everything was so very delicious. Not only yummy, but really pretty to look at. It was a great place to gather around the island in the kitchen at this party and talk with all the girls and eat something delicious. She also made these scrumptious bacon date bites that had goat cheese in the middle. Oh. My. Gawd. Sooooo good! If you've ever tried to wrap something little in bacon and make everything come out right you know the struggle....don't struggle, just call Chef Steph and she'll put something together great for a small party, or fantastic dinner. She even told us that she does meal prepping/planning! So if you're too busy to cook during the week but you want to eat like a Queen (sure, or a King too ;P ) then you should definitely get in touch with her. She's new here in Sacramento and I love love love that I've been lucky enough to meet her and taste her amazing food. Don't miss out!!! read more

Chef Stephanie - CHEFANIE - Culinary Mistress. I thank the skies above and the Worlds below that Chefanie exists in the arts d' Cuisine. Chefanie is Zen; she is nutrition; she is food activist; her food is love; her ethics sustainable and her skill is pro. While Stephanie modestly writes (below) that she is a "small event cater" (sorry, I had to laugh and wonder 'can I deduct a star for modesty?'), I've been lucky enough to enjoy Stephanie's cuisine at several SF "GREEN" functions including Pachamana, Breast Cancer Fund Heroes Tribute, Rain Forest Action Network (RAN) annual gala fundraiser and GREE NFEST. Stephanie was Executive Chef for one of the Bay Area's most celebrated green caterers. Now she is cheffin' it on her own.. Kudos!!! So, about the food...................Chefanie's vegan cumin-seed veggie crepe is a trademark (and published in magazines), her cashew crme divine (mission hipsters would kill for recipe), and her homemade pickles legendary..... I personally send a THANK YOU to Chefanie for creating the most beautiful and inspiring Wedding menu EVER ....and listening to 'us'! Our vision was created and delivered to perfection. Our vegan dish (Wild Mushroom Ragout Stuffed Pumpkinette with Citrus Quinoa, Cranberries & Walnuts) was incredible. The Pumpkinseed Encrusted Halibut out-of-this world....and friends in Greece we're already talking about our braised Lamb chops by the time we arrived to Crete the next day ...And every time we seen them (which is a joy!). This Culinary Mistress is amazing. I am including some photos as evidence....wish you could taste.. read more

I found Chef Stephanie on Yelp with excellent reviews. When I connected with her, I was hooked. We were planning a private cooking lesson at my home for my mom's birthday, with my 3 sisters and me. It was a small party but Stephanie was extremely happy to make mom's birthday celebration fun, engaging, and delicious. She provided an extensive menu selection to choose from. Stephanie was organized, on-time, well-prepared, and had us all chopping and cooking with ease. The food was absolutely delicious! I would absolutely recommend her and plan to use her in the future for a private party event! read more

Great Experience As my wife and I were planning how to celebrate our upcoming wedding anniversary, we were looking at ways to make it extra special. We booked Chef Stephanie for an elegant dinner for 8 and were treated to a wonderful experience. Prior to the event, Stephanie was very responsive and very helpful in planning the menu (she has so many options and is very flexible). She was easily able to accommodate a special diet for one of our guests. From appetizers to dessert, the food was delicious and beautifully presented. Her assistant, Jamie, was very attentive to our needs, and we enjoyed her friendly and open personality. The dishes were done and the kitchen was spotless by the time they left--a wonderful evening! Thank you Chef Stephanie and Jamie! read more

Chef Stephanie catered a business event for the Roseville Area Chamber of Commerce - she is a delight to work with, has great suggestions on items to be served and her food was a total hit with the crowd.

I had a great experience with Stephanie. I was looking for a catering solution for a small luncheon (less than ten people).

I've been contemplating writing a review for the last week because I don't like to leave bad reviews but the lack of customer service I received is horrific. I asked chef Stephanie to come to my house for my husbands birthday. Not a big birthday just me him and our 2 maybe 3 KIDS. 4 or 5 total depending where my daughter would be on this day. Chef Stephanie sent me a menu which was followed up by a call to talk about the menu. We decided on a pretty simple American dinner. She asked for a payment to hold our spot. I sent over $950.00. Later that day my husband was talking about wanting a cheese platter for one of the appetizers. I called chef Stephanie to let her know what we'd like and she was confused what a cheese plate even is.. after explaining what it was we wanted she came up with three cheeses for the plate Brie, sharp cheddar & Havarti along with a fruit, jam & crackers. She said she'd send over the payment for the added appetizer... I was like wow more money for three cheeses.. paid the $100 and went about my day. I'm $1050.00 in at this point mind you I've had private chefs come to my south lake cabin cook a 4 course meal the main dish being wagyu & only paid $500. Plus a generous tip of course. So the price was crazy for me but hey it's my hubby he deserves the world. Fast forward a few days we find out our daughter will be joining us for sure for dinner so I tell chef Stephanie. She tells me with so many people (me my husband our three kids 5,5&7) she'll need a server to come along with her. I said sure no worries she sends me ANOTHER invoice.. $325 for a server.. mind you my kids can be served by us no problem.. she told me no if she's severing anybody over 4 people she'll need a server. At this point I'm overwhelmed... I called on the chef to make things easier on us and it's turning out to be a headache.. Our menu for the night was meatballs w marinara, a cheese plate & chicken skewers for our appetizer.. a salad as our first course FLANK steak w sautéed shrimp for our main course and crème brûlée for dessert.. Nothing special. I told her that I was overwhelmed and pregnant that's why I called on her for the dinner in the first place. I didn't want to have to worry about anything and here I am worrying about everything.. I told her forget the whole dinner I'm not paying an extra 325 for a server. I never got a partial refund never even heard from the lady again. I think it's completely unprofessional how things got handled because well nothing got solved! She got paid for nothing and didn't even offer to refund a dime. I'd never recommend her to anybody. Completely unprofessional. read more
