Whether you're planning a laid-back family dinner or an elegant evening with friends, I have no doubt they would make it an unforgettable experience. I would recommend them 1000%!

I was dreading a Big Birthday until I discovered Ray of Cooking What You Crave on Instagram who -…read moreexcuse the cliche - turned my frown upside down. I interviewed several private chefs to cook a dinner for 14 and knew almost instantly that Ray was my guy. As the dining table and kitchen are in close proximity, I knew chef would necessarily be part of the evening and I wanted someone whose personality would vibe with our unruly, irreverent, straight/gay tribe of bff's. What was served was superb. The food was yummy, scrumptious, delectable. All the words. And it was a real challenge to devise a menu that accommodated numerous personalities and dislikes. So, rest assured Ray is creative, resourceful and very skilled. But HOW it was served - with gregarious warmth and humor - truly made the evening special. Everyone totally fell in love with Ray and swooned over his culinary offerings. Days later, I was still receiving gushy texts about the food, the chef and the magical atmosphere. Thank you Ray, for helping turn a potentially crappy moment into a lovely, unforgettable one. I will take a little credit for having the common sense to choose you :)

He brought all of the ingredients and the cooking equipment, occasionally entertained us while the food was cooking, and cleaned up after himself. I mean spotless. We had chicken, sausage, and shrimp in the paella -- one of us didn't want mussels. Lots of high quality ingredients, including the saffron. We didn't think we could finish the large dish but I may have had three portions. Definite 5 stars for Chef Ray.

The entire experience went very smooth and all I had to do was decide on the dishes we would have. Chef Benz was very helpful in helping me choose the menu as well. I'm not very familiar with Thai food so she made some suggestions while keeping in mind our dietary preferences. The day of the event she arrived on time and got right to work. She brought the most beautiful centerpiece carved from fresh fruit and vegetables. She cooked the entire meal by herself in a timely manor, all while guests were occasionally talking to her and asking questions. The meal was delicious and all the ingredients were really fresh. Chef Benz even surprised us by making cupcakes for the birthday celebration which we were not expecting. She cleaned up so well you would never have known she was there. Overall it was a great experience and I would highly recommend her services. Not only is she an excellent chef, but she has a sweet heart as well.

Chef Dean was very quick to respond to my initial request for a quote and we got on the phone to talk about the process and what I had envisioned. Over the next few days, we emailed about the menu, what my parents liked, and food allergies/preferences to create a beautiful, personalized menu that we collaborated together on. The day of, Chef Dean and his assistant, Liza, came and started cooking/prepping a couple hours before dinner service. They did EVERYTHING! We were in a small vacation rental and knew the kitchen may be lacking - they came table cloth and linens, silverware, dishes, serveware - everything to ensure we had a 5-star dining experience! The food itself was AMAZING! Stuffed mushrooms, crab cakes, surf and turf with filet mignon, lobster tails, seared scallops, sautéed asparagus, and potatoes o gratin. For dessert - a strawberry tiramisu. He even made my 3 year old mac and cheese! (Also, my 3 year old ate the stuffed mushrooms and crabcakes, and begged for more tiramisu for days after, which says A LOT about how good the food was!). Liza even held our 10 week old baby and fed him a bottle so all the adults could eat!! At the end of the night, they cleaned up every single dish and the kitchen looked nicer than when they had arrived. Both Chef Dean and Liza went above and beyond for us, and we are so very grateful for them and helping us make our parents 40th anniversary super special and unforgettable. We raved about it to everyone we met for the rest of the trip! Thank you Chef Dean and Liza!!! 100/10 will hire again!

The food was incredible - you could tell the freshest ingredients were prepared, with such attention to detail.

We literally couldn't stop eating the vegetables (in addition to the rest of the meal). We certainly look forward to working with Stephen again.

Most of the dinner is all prepped and he just finishes up the cooking in your kitchen. Very professional and great, fresh tasting food. We had two appetizers that were so good.

Fresh veggies and a homemade pasta as a side. Best part is when he's done, so is all the clean up. I highly recommend him.
