It was a good move; she arrived with everything, did all the work and we ended up with a delicious dinner. Meghan offered several different menus and allowed us to mix and match. We chose a seafood menu with three appetizers, one salad, one entree, three side dishes and a gorgeous, burnt carmel birthday cake. I would do this again in a heartbeat and I would definitely hire Meghan. She was easy to work with and has a delightful personality.

Our days started out raving about the food the night before and looking forward to the next dinner. She is a one of a kind gem that you just don't find everyday. Thank you Meghan for making our trip the BEST!!!!!!

We're all absolutely blown away by Miranda and our experience with Tahoe Mountain Tapas. Our group…read moreof 8 was fortunate enough to have Miranda's dinner service for NYE at our Incline Village vacation rental. Some standout observations include: - One of our guests had specific dietary needs, including no dairy, and Miranda made dairy-free versions specifically for them. She was accommodating for all our one-off requests and tailored the menu perfectly for us. - All our communication leading up to the event was clear, prompt, and warm. - The grill at our AirBnB wasn't working and Miranda pivoted seamlessly without skipping a beat. - She plated & served everything at the table for us, cleared dishes, and cleaned everything before she left. She did things like refill our drinks, boxed up leftovers, etc. We didn't have to lift a finger for anything from start to finish. - The food was *amazing* and everyone was impressed. The meals were truly 10/10. Of all the activities we did during our group trip in Tahoe, this dinner service stood out as the top highlight. We are so grateful for a top tier dining experience from a friendly, professional team. I can't recommend Tahoe Mountain Tapas highly enough. If you have the opportunity to book her, you have to do it!

I am so thankful Amy Power of Fed & Full recommended them to us because their food & their service was truly amazing.

Andrew provided a 4 course (appetizer, salad, entrée, and dessert) meal for 9 girls in a bachelorette. He was extremely easy to work with prior when it came to picking the menu, coordinating dietary allergies/restrictions, and etc. We had a last minute cancellation from one of the girls and he was able to be flexible and adjust accordingly which I am super thankful for! The private chef experience was amazing and I would highly recommend it. He arrived about 4 hours early to prepare the dishes in the Airbnb kitchen, brought some of his decorations to help make the event special, and was so organized throughout the whole event. Each meal was delicious and carefully crafted. And the clean up afterwards was flawless, the kitchen looked better than it did when we first arrived to the Airbnb! Can't say enough great things, thank you Mindful Chef!

After the delicious meal they cleaned the kitchen and you would never have known they had been working in there for hours! I highly recommend The Mindful Chef, you won't be disappointed!

One of my biggest concerns was putting together a menu for 7 people that would accommodate a couple dairy-free attendees + 2 picky children. Amy reassured me she could make this work, and boy... she delivered! The menu we went with: - Cheese & Charcuterie Board (GORGEOUS and full of tasty treats) - Pear & Pomegranate Salad (Chef Amy and Chef Maddie deconstructed the salad for my kiddos. We ALL loved it) - Filet mignon, twice-baked potatoes, and shallot green beans. (Incredible. My husband, a meat lover, declared this the best filet he's ever eaten). Never had I ever thought a dairy-free twice baked potato could taste THAT good. - Individual Chocolate Lava Cakes (need I say more?) It was an incredibly special night. The food was absolutely fantastic. Chef Amy & Chef Maddie were fun to chat with, and also catered to us like we were in a fancy restaurant. 10/10 highly recommend.

Amy and her team not only created a memorable event for my dear friend, but they washed and put away all the dishes. Above and beyond. No doubt we will call Fed & Full for our next event.

Annamarie has really developed her own style that combines glam/fine dining with flavors that complement the outdoors and her home of Lake Tahoe. I also love that she caters to her client's taste (pun intended) and will tweak her recipes according to her client's requests. From hearty beans and belly-warming chili to unique vegan salads or quality grilled meats- she does it all!

They made 4 delicious appetizers they had circulating for the first hour while guests were arriving. I'll include a picture of our entire menu at the end:) I did the seafood paella and the vegetarian one. Both were just phenomenal! Everyone was so wowed by the presentation, beautiful!!

Chef Tim was the highlight of our son's wedding/elopement celebration party that we had at our home. We had a meeting beforehand to discuss details and plans. This process enabled everything to be stress free. The party went perfectly and Chef Tim and his paella creation was a big topic of discussion among our guests. Everyone said it the best food they ever had at a party. He prepared two kinds (chicken and chorizo and a vegetable version) that were both absolutely divine. Each version of paella had perfectly combined flavors that created an extraordinary compilation in every bite. The guests could also watch him put it all together as all of the food was prepared on site on the day of the party! (Not brought in trays to be heated up!) Wow!!! The flavors were incredible, delicious and beyond words. Chef Tim is a true master chef and gem in our city and his kindness and caring, professionalism and talents and passion will be forever treasured by our family, as he made a very special event the best experience possible. Chef will always be our first choice from now on. We highly, highly recommend Chef Tim!

Chef Mary prepared a delicious Mexican-inspired feast for 20 people. For our appetizers, she made inventive guacamole and a salsa trio, each kind presented in a real pineapple (our favorite was the mango and pineapple salsa -- amazing!). She also crafted a beautiful display of gazpacho shooters with a skewered pepper in each one, and showcased the menu in a lovely frame for all of our guests to see. She baked beef tacos filled with jack and sharp cheddar, chicken verde enchiladas, and a finished it all off with some lovely tequila lime tarts. We loved the interactivity and informality of the taco bar she assembled for us. I worked with an excellent personal chef for a party like this once before, but Chef Mary exceeded all of our expectations. She was polite, clear, and prompt in her communications prior to the event. She was very professional and organized on the day of the event and her presentation was excellent -- not to mention how great the cooking was! She took photos for us with all of our friends and even left a sweet card from she and her daughter. Mary was so well prepared that once she set up her work stations, she would have been ready with dinner made before we were ready to eat. Rather than rush us along or serve dinner cold, Chef Mary took this extra time to go purchase flowers to act as an extra centerpiece. I was so relieved that, after a weekend of planning activities and coordinating meals for 20 people, Chef Mary could come steal the show on our final night together. I didn't have to worry about anything --- she and her daughter even cleaned up and packed away the leftovers. I would hire Chef Mary again in a heartbeat and I recommend her to anyone.
