From the very beginning, communication was prompt, professional, and easy. They arrived right on time, fully prepared with a clear plan and a fantastic team. The food was phenomenal--delicious, beautifully presented, and the portion sizes were perfect. Everyone left full and happy! Pricing was very fair for the quality and service we received. What really stood out was how well the team balanced professionalism with personality. They were fun, engaging, and added to the vibe of the evening. I would 100% work with them again and highly recommend them for any special occasion. They helped make our night unforgettable! Thank you Chef D and team.

They came and catered our bachelor party breakfast, and it was just what we needed to bring our crew back to life. Chef D took care of everything, all we had to do was approve his suggested menu.

Highly recommend Chef D for your breakfast, and based off my experience I'm sure he's great for lunches and dinners as well.

Every single week we are blown away by the flavor, creativity, and care she puts into her cooking. Her meals are so good that we honestly no longer want to eat out. The food she prepares for us at home is consistently better than what we would order at restaurants, and that says everything. Each dish feels intentional, nourishing, and beautifully balanced, with just the right touches to make it feel special without ever being heavy. Every meal has been outstanding, and the consistency is what truly sets her apart. Chef Steph has completely changed the way we eat at home, and we feel incredibly lucky to have found her. If you are considering working with her, do it. You will not be disappointed.

I never thought I'd be able to justify the luxury of a private chef service, but I keep this…read moreservice as a lifeline in my back pocket for weeks that we just need a little extra help, like when the demands of parenting and working during a global pandemic seem extra burdensome. So far, we've had three appointments, and they've all been wonderful. For each one in advance, you choose the time/date for your chef, three entree items and three sides. The "sides" is a bit of a misnomer, as you can often make meals of these in themselves. They include salads, hot breakfast casseroles, pies, and more. Recipes range from Mongolian Beef to Shepherd's Pie, homemade granola bars, Thai Chicken salad, etc. I imagine if we did this weekly, the options might get monotonous, but doing it every once in a while works out well for us so that there are usually a few new options that appear the next time we're ready to book an appointment. For each item you'll see an estimate on how much extra it will add to your bill in groceries in addition to the base chef cost. The chef will stop at your local HEB to shop for your ingredients fresh right before your appointment. You pay a $35 deposit, which you can get refunded if you cancel the appointment by the stated deadline (and they send you frequent reminders -- they're not trying to pull one over). On average with tip and the cost of groceries, we usually spend around $225 for our family of four. The meals last us a while. Sometimes we share them with friends who could use an extra meal, or sometimes we freeze the leftovers. There are instructions for reheating, freezing, etc. As stated in other reviews the chefs are generally efficient and very tidy, leaving your kitchen looking spotless, with a huge amount of prepared food for you to enjoy (it's hard not to dive right in). Communication by text is great. During COVID, the chef has worn a mask during the appointment and the service has had very clearly communication about canceling in the event of COVID exposure, etc. I appreciate that they're taking it seriously. If I had a couple of critiques, it would be that whatever process gets communicated to the chef regarding ingredients might need to be streamlined. The past two appointments, our chef has had to make a couple of grocery store trips because he forgot items, and this prolongs the preparation process. I would also love to see a bit more variety to the menu options. It would be nice to have it broken down roughly by type of dish (seafood, beef, casserole, etc.) and price (budget friendly or special splurge). Other than those minor tweaks, we love the service, and I imagine we'll keep using it as occasional customers.

Celeste was thorough in documenting our food preferences and making dishes that were accessible to an infant who wanted to feed herself. I would be remiss if I didn't mention a couple of our favorite dishes. My husband who doesn't like soup loved the Creamy Chicken Soup. And Celeste's greens were the best greens I've ever eaten. I think the Asian Kale was my favorite green side dish, but we liked every dish with greens that we received. My infant daughter loved the Beef & Liver Chili made with plums instead of tomatoes to make it nightshade free.
