I hired Richard and Katie to come to my apt to give me an private cooking lesson. I didn't really…read moreknow what to expect, and when they asked me what I wanted to learn I told them I wanted to learn "some of the basics". Well in just a couple hours we were able to cover SO much ground. From making a delicious salsa and homemade chips, to a steak and a chicken, even farro with caramelized onions. Not only did I learn tons of REALLY helpful skills that I've already been implementing, but I had delicious food that lasted me for a handful of meals THAT I HELPED MAKE! They brought all their own ingredients and left my kitchen completely spotless (possibly cleaner than how they found it) I am so thankful to these two and I look forward to our next lessons.

When my husband and I first decided to find a personal chef we thought "maybe this will help, we…read morecan't keep eating out, it's killing us." Neither of us really knew what a personal chef service looked like. We love cooking but we didn't/don't have time during the week to cook. We hoped we'd get more vegetables into our diet at a minimum. That not eating out would mean less of the white devils (sugar, salt). I reached out to The Skinny Beet in a frenetic and desperate state last December. Since they've entered our lives the sun is shining, the clouds have parted and Mondays are happy (re: they are miracle workers). We have been a weekly client with The Skinny Beet for almost 3 months now. At the end of 1 month we reached out to them and shared a list of each positive benefit directly or indirectly related to hiring them as personal chefs. I would like to share this list with you (reader of my review): 1. My husband and I spend more time together. 2. We portion control better. 3. We work out more (have time to work out). 4. We feel better: less groggy, less irritable, more energy. 5. The food they make tastes flavorful, wholesome and satisfying. We get to eat our favorite cuisines with less of the sugar/salt and more grain/vegetable variety than what we know how to cook. 6. We waste less. 7. The brain space we wasted thinking about what to eat, what to cook, when to go pick things up, crap-I-forgot-an-ingredient --- Poof! Gone. Which, working full time while part time grad school, any and all brain space I can allocate to my work is priceless for me. From Week One: Flexibility with schedule and menu planning was made easy for us - We come home and our kitchen tools and pans lovingly (and somewhat expensively) acquired over time are clean - There are delicious dishes made with quality ingredients ready for devouring in the fridge. We are so grateful for the difference The Skinny Beet has made in our quality of life. Seriously, I wasn't kidding: Miracle Workers.

I hired Suzanna a couple of months ago to make weekly meals for me. She is completely accommodating…read moreand a pleasure to work with - and of course her food is delicious! She sends weekly detailed meal ideas tailored to your diet, grocery shops, provides receipts, provides calorie information, cooks in my home, cleans up, and preps all my meals in to go containers for work. She can make anything and is knowledgable on food restrictions (low fodmap for me). She has made eating healthy a breeze and I couldn't recommend her highly enough. Keep in mind there are many positive reviews about Suzanna's business in the "not recommended reviews" section that have been inaccurately filtered. Feel free to take a read for other testimonials.

Suzanna will work with you to craft the ideal menu, and she was very flexible on last minute changes as well as the cooking space (very small galley air bnb kitchen in Boston). She has a wealth of cooking tips to offer, provides a really simplified process and engages as much or as little as the group would prefer. Our group loved her and would highly recommend her for future events and to others. Thank you!!!

Corporate team buildings have been a mixed bag for me over the years, but our event at Shiso…read moreKitchen completely exceeded every expectation. I never imagined a team building could be this good! From the moment we arrived, the energy was warm, welcoming, and perfectly organized. The hands-on cooking experience was not only fun and engaging--it was the ideal way to collaborate and connect. Working toward shared deliverables (that we then got to enjoy together!) created a sense of accomplishment and camaraderie that's hard to replicate in a traditional setting. The Shiso Kitchen team made everything seamless and elevated the experience with their expertise, hospitality, and thoughtful touches. If you're looking for a unique, meaningful way to strengthen your team, this is it. Highly recommend!

I eat several times everyday -usually tasty and health foods- but when I have a meal prepared by Mike Betts, I am quieted in awe and appreciation. Refreshingly novel recipes, stunning presentation, and precious ingredients. In addition, the opportunities that I have had to interact with Mike have felt warm and engaging. Though obviously sharp and experienced, he didn't seem hesitate to let his passion for food show when I chatted with him in kitchen. He even taught me a few things! Recommend seems like the wrong term... Put this in your list of things to experience before you die, like see Machu Picchu, or listen to a symphony play your favorite classical piece. I am grateful that I have had the opportunity to enjoy food prepared by Chef Mike Betts.

I was referred to Natasha Wellness by my Chiropractor after years of dealing with lingering upper…read moreand lower back pain. I was wasting away; gaunt and underweight, losing my mind, numb, anxious, and depressed. From healthy eating to healthy living habits, emotional intelligence and physical perseverance were some of the stepping stones in Natasha's wellness plan for me. I learned a lot from her mentorship and counseling. She caters to all walks of life and is able to adapt, pivot and provide accountability for anyone that wants to take control of their life. Natasha is extremely knowledgeable, well spoken, and empathetic to her clients. I made a financial investment in her services and my life, and it paid out in spades. A few of the things I learned in her program include: Emotional and physical health is one interwoven infinity string. A proper nutritional plan is critical to maintaining the dexterity and durability for your life's path. Gaining or losing weight is an attainable goal if you make the time, create the healthy habits, and maintain your discipline. Life can be hard, just find your middle way. A pessimist can transmute to an optimist. The glass is half full or half empty based on your current state of mind. Stay present and the rewards in not giving up are SO WORTH IT!

I've hosted many parties in my home and this was the first time I was actually able to enjoy the party, without having to worry about anything. They show up with everything they need and leave your house in the same condition as when they arrived- amazing! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend A Fresh Endeavor to anyone looking for professional chefs for an event or even just a small gathering. I will absolutely use them again!

Each dish that JJ came up with was deliciously prepared, perfectly fresh, and arrived piping hot. The food was also very generously portioned for our buffet style wedding meal. Over the course of the evening our guests raved about each of the dishes that JJ and her team put together. In the days that followed, we continued to hear from friends about how much they loved the lamb, lasagna, etc., even while we were still enjoying the leftovers! JJ and her team went above and beyond in preparing food for our special day and for this we are extremely grateful. We would recommend JJ and her team to anyone without hesitation.
