The dishes were amazing, he was flexible with our one vegetarian friend and with the dishes especially not knowing what kind of kitchen the AirBNB would have! Each course was absolutely fantastic with several components and a lot of thought and complexity. The ingredients were quality and we let him have fun with our menu which included jack fruit carnitas (amazing!), stone fruit salad, halibut and amazing chocolate cake for dessert. We loved all of it! We highly recommend Chef Kevin!!

It was a pleasure working with him to decide the menu. He has a so much knowledge in all areas of cooking, with an emphasis on fresh and organic produce and meats and tremendous skill in pairing a custom meal. My guests all enjoyed speaking with him during the dinner. Chef Kevin is jovial, friendly and engaging. I also truly appreciate that after the dinner, the kitchen was cleaned and left in the same condition it was before he arrived. I highly recommended Chef Kevin. I plan to have many dinners and future celebrations prepared by Chef in the future.

I am so grateful that my husband found you....There were so many "oohs" and "ahhhs" and "mmmmms" happening all night! The charcuterie was so beautiful and abundant and everything was incredibly fresh and tasty! Mauricio was a fabulous server and was so kind and fun to talk to. He even helped us to find some wayward Easter eggs! Dinner was amazing. Salad was delicious, and the main course was exceptional! Everything was cooked to perfection and beautifully plated. Nothing was overlooked and your attention to detail was apparent. I didn't speak much to your kitchen helper (I apologize that I don't remember her name), but I have no doubt, in addition to all the cooking help, I have her to thank for how clean and organized my kitchen was when you all left! I appreciate the 3 of you for all you did that I didn't see behind the scenes. It was a pleasure to have you in our home and the icing on the cake is that you are all dog people and were so kind to our pups! I'm sure this won't be the last time you chef for us!!! Best, Sharon Hartman

Five Stars for Chef Michael!…read more My wife Melanie and I (Blake) recently attended the Fresh Homemade Pasta class at Turn Up The Heat, and it was an absolute blast. Chef Michael is a fantastic instructor who breaks down the culinary process into steps that are easy to follow but feel professional. We learned how to make: Fresh Linguine with a rich, authentic Carbonara sauce. Handmade Ravioli paired with a delicious homemade Marinara. Chef Michael made the entire experience fun, approachable, and incredibly tasty. We walked away with new skills and full stomachs! We will definitely be back for another one of his courses soon. Highly recommended!

Amy is a culinary and catering goddess. She answered the very first phone call with "How can we…read moremake your event incredible?" And honestly? She meant it. I was completely blown away by the entire experience working with Amy's Culinary Adventures. She made everything feel easy and seamless from start to finish, literally no stress, just reassurance and a complete love for what she does. She didn't just handle the food, she helped me think through the entire event, connecting me with other vendors I needed (liquor, furniture rentals, all of it), which was a total lifesaver. Amy met with me multiple times to walk through her incredibly unique menu options (the brisket sliders, pear & goat cheese delicious things (i can't remember exactly!) and chicken and waffles, omg). Her attention to detail is next level, from the menu selections, to the exact quantities needed, to how the food would be passed and presented. The presentation was beautiful. The taco stand and dessert table were an absolute class act. My friends could not stop talking about how delicious the food was, and equally about how amazing, friendly, professional, and warm her staff is. Amy herself was there the entire evening, running the show and making sure every detail was perfect. You could just feel how much she cares. I truly cannot recommend her highly enough. If you're hosting an event and want zero worries about catering, and want your guests to leave raving, happy, and full, hire Amy. Best decision I made to help make a very special event even more special.

When the subscription club started, I was in the initial round, paying over $100 every couple of months for a long time for blind projects. Veteran family, woman, POC owned company - and cute fun. I taught friends to love them and brought several new subscribers to the business over the years. But the customer service has left me in complete (negative!!) disbelief! Unfortunately, Jolie and The Makery have lost my support. There were some super bowl Facebook "games" in February of 2022. I engaged with the posts for fun, expecting nothing. Then was notified I had won a free sign and to contact them for shipping. I did. As you can read for yourself, for over 6 months I've been told different stories while nothing has ever shipped. It's shocking because the website is full of items for sale that match the give away. Jolie and team simply needed to send something surplus they never sold and be done with it (it was a random design after all). It's become principle. Companies ask you to engage to grow their social media presence. The giveaways need to be followed through with. Especially for a long standing customer. Honestly, even letting me know the timeline or that they couldn't afford to send something would have been enough. Acting annoyed I asked didn't sit well with me - With a little communication, I would have said no worries, I didn't need anything! I have entire boxes in my garage of her projects not started as I supported for so long but never had time to do most of them. About 5-6 months after the back and forth there were items posted for sale. I simply asked if any of those were available for the giveaway never sent. My comments were deleted, I was blocked, and my messages and since been rejected. I was treated as an aggressive troll, not a customer that had been respectful and spent quite a bit of money. Simply put, The Makery uses customers to increase their social media engagement and sales, yet doesn't follow through. Support has been lost - from me. Don't fall for the "we love our customers so much". They don't. You could be taken advantage of too! Lots of similar kits from small businesses out there from great, small businesses - some even cheaper! Shop elsewhere!
