    Chef Drew and Chef Wes prepared and served an in-home four-course dinner at our friends'. They worked with our hosts to create the perfect menu, then executed it both beautifully and deliciously, and at the end of the night the kitchen was spotless. I can't recommend them enough!

    We hired GMarket chef to cater our daughter's first birthday. They executed beautifully and flawlessly on a Derby theme. They made even the most basic of dishes taste out of this world. We also used their bartender who did a great job and created a signature cocktail for the event. Food- outstanding Service -outstanding Happy people who take pride in their work- outstanding:) Can't wait to use them again. Best personal chef in Chicago!

    We cannot begin to explain how incredibly amazing Chefs Brandon and Sam were last night. They showed up on time, were so friendly, and went straight to work to create the most delicious food from my meager kitchen - we were blown away! The beautiful display they set up for our appetizers to greet our guests during the cocktail/mingle was unexpected and so high end. Chef Brandon explained each app and our guest just Wow'ed as we tasted each - the bacon wrapped date with chorizo, the saffron chicken skewers...just mouthwatering! And no one believed that it was hummus on the 3rd app, it was too delectable! The meal was incredible, we had a heated debate over whether the salmon or the hanger steak was the best! The SALAD was definitely a favorite, so fresh and flavorful! The truffled gnocchi was so tasty too! The brownie/chocolate mousse with salted carmel pieces was absolutely perfect, not overly sweet but savory and with layers of flavoring. My kitchen was spotless after dinner, they even vacuumed and clean the floor! And we were so happy they packed up all extra food so we had to enjoy the next day, especially as we starting talking about all the tasty dishes. We had to resample that next morning! We would recommend Chef Brandon and Chef Sam enthusiastically! Start to finish, amazing talented professionals with wonderful friendly personalities, far exceeded expectations! Cannot wait for our next event to enjoy their creations!

    Chef Frank was fabulous!!! He and his server were punctual, professional, and personable. Our meal was absolutely delicious- each course felt special. His food prep was impeccably well organized and the overall service was excellent. As a cherry on top, they left our kitchen spotless! I will absolutely hire him again in the future and would recommend him to any of our friends in the Chicago area.

    Mashed Red Potatoes and stuffing.

    Fantastic menu! Great thanksgiving dinner cooked and delivered. It was amazing and my family is still talking about it. Highly recommend!

    See all

    Chef Katie is FANTASTIC! My brother gifted me one of her in-home cooking classes, and we had the…read moremost wonderful night getting to know her, learning new recipes and (of course) eating the delicious meal she curated specifically for our group of four. Starting with our initial email exchange about food preferences, allergies and many, many menu ideas, and extending beyond the class to follow-up restaurant and recipe recommendations, the entire experience with Chef Katie was easy, effortless and fun. Everything felt accessible; communicating with Katie felt like chatting with an old friend, the recipes were as realistic as they were delicious -- meaning, we'll actually make them on a weeknight since they don't take hours to prep/use obscure ingredients -- and there was nothing stuffy or transactional about having a professional chef teach a class in our home. No doubt, Katie is as professional as they come. What's more, though, is she is a genuinely good human and a joy to be around. I couldn't recommend the cooking class experience more, and I look forward to doing it again soon!

    My family has been working with Chef Katie for about a year now. I originally reached out after I…read morehad my third baby. My husband and I were in a routine of serving a "kid dinner" (e.g. chicken nuggets) for our kids and ordering takeout for ourselves. I wanted to sit down for family dinners, but I could not figure out how to work full-time, take care of my kids after school/work, and make healthy family dinners. Enter Chef Katie... our routines completely shifted with her weekly meal delivery service. Everything is prepped and ready to go so all I have to do is heat everything up at dinner time. We now sit down for family dinners most nights, and we are all eating MUCH healthier. A year ago my husband was 10 lbs heavier than he has ever been in his life, I was carrying extra weight too (for obvious reasons). I've never cared much about the number on the scale - but I do care about feeling healthy. It is kind of crazy to fast forward to almost a year later. My husband lost those 10 lbs, I am down to my weight before I had ANY kids, and am reaching into my closet for things I haven't worn in years. And I feel like I have more energy now than I have had since before I had kids. I am just amazed by the impact of eating good, quality, healthy food. Thank you Chef Katie!

The front picture pays homage to our home country of Laos and everything was packaged well and neatly. The back had a QR code for people to find the reheating instructions of each meal you received. Food: Laap Gai (Lao Chicken Salad with Herbs)- 5/5 Flavorful and delicious. Had the aroma and fragrance of all of the correct herbs in this dish. Tasted like my family's cooking. Mok Gai (Steamed Chicken and Herbs in Banana Leaves) with Cabbage- 5/5 All of the flavors worked perfectly with each other and I paired it with homemade sticky rice to make it an even more authentic meal. Meat Sampler (Beef Jerky and Lao Sausage) with Jasmine Rice- 5/5 The flavors were so yummy! They each had their own personal flavor profile and each one was amazing on its own. Jeow Bong (Lao Dipping Sauce)- 10/5 Yes, a 10/5! Loved every bit of this sauce and dipped the meats and sticky rice in it, put it on my Jasmine rice, and ate it with my cabbage. It was just the perfect accompaniment to everything I ordered! This is a definite must-have!! All in all, they have found a lifetime customer in me. For someone who is missing homemade Lao foods but can't get to it where you are or just need a break in cooking, give them a try! It's cheaper and tastier than DoorDash!!

The food is delivered via FedEx. (It's even better if you also have the FedEx zoo for precise tracking and delivery)Frozen but still 5 stars. You order online and can select from delivery dates available in your area. (Also available for some local delivery or pickup but I live too far). The box arrived on time. It was well packaged with insulation and freezer pack. My food was still frozen. I also sent some to friends in the Boston area and their box arrived perfect to. It's really nice. All the entres are individually packed and LABELED in Laos and English. There is a QR code to link to the heating instructions. For the monthly special (Deep Fried Fish in a tomato sauce) they provide written instruction instructions. I signed up for the monthly subscription which include 3 meals which you can select yourself or let them choose. It's been a while so I picked my favorites- the sweet jerky meal, the pork noodles and the monthly special. As always it is fabulous. More to good news is that there are a number of lower carb options. You can get the jerky and spicy sausages without rice. Or the protein (chicken or fish ) steamed in banana leaves. Or the classic minced chicken salad. Or the spicy red curry. I was told that they specifically selected items that would travel and freeze well. They hit the mark. Over time I Have worked my way through almost the entire menu. I could personally vouch for other items that freeze and reheat well- sometimes better in the air fryer. So fingers crossed that we see the egg rolls and yellow potato curry on the menu soon. Would DEFINITELY RECOMMEND
