    Delicious cedar plank salmon
    Aron K.

    I hired Chef Travis to cook for my wife and a group of her friends in Healdsburg for her birthday. They raved about the food, saying it was all delicious, from a beautiful charcuterie tray, an amazing salad, and fantastic salmon. Travis was super responsive and great to work with all of the way through. I highly recommend him!

    Trust the reviews! Chef Travis was wonderful to work with. He was responsive, creative, prompt and made sure my surprise birthday date night was nothing short of amazing. This will be a tradition moving forward and I can't wait to refer him to my colleagues and friends. The food was amazing with Chef Travis customizing each course based on our likes. Book him NOW!

    Yummy

    Trevis Gee and his team are amazing!! Always delivers quality food! It's absolutely delicious! He also does the best tuna poke ever! As a private chef he goes to your location and cook whatever you desire! He made a tuna poke in my home & we paired with delicious Rosé wine

    Fresh pasta and ravioli made live right in front of us!

    My husband planned a last minute getaway to Napa as a surprise for my birthday and contacted Chef Travis to cook us a birthday lunch at our AirBnB. Chef Travis is AMAZING and his partner Lani is so creative! She did a very cute setup for us with her unique choice of table cloth and props. She was also very kind and offered to take pictures for us as a memory while we enjoyed the wine tasting and lunch experience with chef Travis. He transformed our dining experience with so many different flavors and textures. He also accommodated our request for egg-fee pasta and egg-free tiramisu (a rare thing) as we are vegetarians and do not eat eggs, seafood nor meat. The food portions were plentiful. They didn't leave any mess and cleaned the dishes too! If you're thinking of treating a special someone to a good meal Chef Travis is your guy! He is very professional and I definitely recommend him.

    Travis and Lanni made dinner for a group of 12 of us celebrating our 40th birthdays. Every course was better than the next, and they even cleaned up after the meal! Would highly recommend them for anyone looking for a wonderful meal and personalized experience!

    A delectable escape in Napa! I contacted Chef Travis Gee for hosting a birthday lunch for my wife at our AirBnB. He was quick to respond over the phone and made a last minute booking not only possible, but also effortless for me. I was worried at first as this was my first time booking a private chef. I opted for a four course lunch with wine tasting. We are vegetarians and do not eat eggs, meat, poultry or seafood. He suggested multiple vegetarian options for me to pick from and was open to suggestions. He also accommodated our request for egg-fee pasta and egg-free tiramisu (a rare thing). I received a proposed menu within minutes and we were able to finalize details based on it. On the day of, chef and his partner Lani (I hope the spelling is correct) arrived on time and we were asked to sit back and relax while they did the prep. They brought everything they needed - a folding table, a charcoal grill, tabletop stove, tablecloth, napkins, and other equipment, etc. Once the prep was done, we were welcomed to a beautifully arranged bar counter for wine tasting, followed by an equally beautiful dining table set up in the backyard. They brought their own unique table cloth, placemats, napkin rings and props. The chef was very knowledgeable about wine and pairings with food. All food was cooked in front of us, and the presentation was gorgeous. We had one of the best butternut squash soup and the best ravioli I have had in my life! The chef and his partner are very friendly and welcoming. We truly enjoyed the conversations with them and learned a thing or two about wine and food. Overall, it was a five star experience that we will always remember! I highly recommend their services and look forward to booking them again.

    Chef Travis and Lanni were absolutely incredible! We had them over for a Mother's Day dinner. Everything tasted amazing and they were both so hospitable and great. We are 100% using them again next time we are up in Yountville.

    Wow. That's all I can say. Travis is the man!!! What an amazing meal and such a great guy and staff. The food was delicious and artfully made. They did everything for us and even cleaned our kitchen, swept, took the trash out. So so highly recommend!

    Trust all the reviews! Travis and Lanni prepared the most memorable birthday dining experience for our family last night. From the homemade sangria and humongous charcuterie board to the artichoke app to and the paella mixta- our palates were treated to the most delicious meal- one for the memory books! Thanks again, Travis , for being so responsive and professional. Next time we're in Sonoma , we'll be sure to book again!

    Most Amazing Chef in Sedona! Such a calm positive energy in the kitchen, while Taylor prepares the…read morehealthiest, tastiest, beautiful vegetarian meals for your retreat!

    I'm honestly shocked that Cooking with Love/Taylor is listed as a top-rated business on Yelp…read more That's how I found her and I truly expected something elevated and professional. That turned out not to be true. I am not writing this review to be mean, but I do want future retreat hosts like myself to not be misled by the otherwise glowing reviews (as I was). I was excited to hire a plant-based chef for an emotionally charged retreat. We were a small, intimate group of seven, many of us mothers or grieving or simply managing a lot in our everyday lives. I wanted the food to feel healing and supportive. While most of the dishes she made were very good, the overall experience was tense, uncomfortable and absolutely not worth it. From the moment she arrived, the tone was off. She walked straight into the house ignoring multiple signs and a clear area full of shoes. This was a luxurious home with beautiful carpets and she mumbled something about "safety" and "not stabbing herself in the foot" before just walking straight through. I decided to just let her to her thing because she looked flustered, but she immediately showed how little respect she had for the environment. The guests were arriving at the same time and she said something about it being chaotic. Again, everyone is just arriving. I am setting a tone for the retreat and the Chef's energy should contribute to that. She made a big point of saying I should "just tell her whatever I needed." When I did, asking her to please set out plates and water glasses with meals, it somehow turned into a long, awkward text exchange and in person conversation about her not offering housekeeping service. It was such a simple, reasonable request and we are talking 6 people. The whole point of bringing in a chef was to make them feel special and cared for. Eventually, she did do it and it really wasn't that big of a deal - I'm not sure why the tension and extra stress was required. There were countless moments like that. She lectured me about "retreat leaders buying too much food," and insisted several times that I didn't need to purchase anything. She then showed up with barely enough supplies. Only three small boxes of sparkling water (gone by day two), no orange juice because "they don't need orange juice," and a general attitude of resistance whenever asked for something. I am so glad I ignored her here because I would have been screwed without the additional groceries I shopped. I really wish i could tell you where the money went but that's not something a retreat leader wants to be thinking about. EVER. We had planned the menu ahead of time, but she decided on her own to "pivot" from the agreed-upon eggs and potatoes to frozen bagel sandwiches (which took forever to heat and left breakfast and subsequently our schedule, late). Several guests told me afterward how little they enjoyed that meal. She will likely blame the oven but the food was rock solid when it went in. Worse still, I later learned from retreat participants that one guest was repeatedly asked to scrape her own plate and another guest was misgendered multiple times during their stay. For someone offering services in a healing, inclusive environment, that level of insensitivity is shocking and unacceptable. She mentioned that people really love her singing bowl blessing. I really wanted the first meal and the last meal to feel celebratory so I opted for that before dessert. Before going into playing, she gave a tone deaf speech about digestion. It was awkward at best. I opted for no singing bowl on the last night. To top it all off, when setting the table (on the very first night aka celebratory night), she used paper napkins. Now here we are at a gorgeous luxury property with every possible beautiful table item at our disposal. I quickly replaced them with cloth napkins. At a retreat meant to be healing and gentle, her energy was the exact opposite. It was easier to just ignore her and quietly take care of things myself, especially given how difficult her personality was. By the end, I was simply trying to get through it. For a retreat environment, or any setting that requires grace and sensitivity, I cannot recommend her. Great food means nothing when it's served with bad energy.

She joined us at our Airbnb and created the most thoughtful, delicious, decadent and somehow still healthy meal. We started the meal with an herbal infused mocktail that delighted all when it changed color with a squeeze of lime. Cashew crema elote, jackfruit tacos, hearts of palm salad, mushroom scallops over a carrot puree and SO much more followed .. I could never do justice to the deliciousness and beauty of what she created. Trust me, just hire this woman and her skills will blow your mind. She was also just a joy to spend time with and added all these sweet and thoughtful touches to our experience. Would absolutely hire her again for a future event!

(I'm personally a meat eater but I did not miss it at all.) I worked with Heather directly and she took such a unique approach to the meal, being sure so understand what was important to our friend, how we wanted to have the evening flow and feel, and over delivered on every single element (including printing custom menus for the event!). I couldn't believe how much she accomplished on her own; she is so talented and reliable. 20/10 recommend her services (and hope to utilize them again in the future! This meal is something we'll always remember and cherish -- thank you, Heather!!
