After talking to me about some specifics we were looking for she came up with the outstanding menu below. She was very conscious about the food selection that we talked about and kept me in the loop if things had to change. Cindy showed up on time, ready to cook, was very personable with everyone she talked to and had no issues dancing around a 2-year-old that was cruising around the party. She did so well that she had to hand out business cards to a bunch of our friends so they could get in touch with her for future events. We had absolutely no issues with the food, her appearance or professionalism and will be looking forward to working with her in the future.     Appetizers Yogurt Dip with Frizzled Carrot-Herb Swirl, Crudité, Pita Dippers (favorite appetizer) Charcuterie Board, Crackers Best Bruschetta Romesco Chicken Tikka Thigh Skewers Chile-Lime Steak Skewers with Coconut-Cilantro Sauce (amazingly tender)   Buffet Dinner Garden Salad with dressings on the side-everything good Zuni Indian Sun Bread and Butter, Sourdough   Barbecue Chicken Thighs Best Herb-Crusted Salmon-wild if possible Grilled Sliced Tri-Tip, coffee-rubbed   Macaroni Salad (this one was a huge hit) Mashed Potatoes Sautéed Veggies

From the start, communciation flowed easily leading up to the event and we selected some of Arica's favorite items for the menu. Our kitchen is relatively small but Arica and her team came right in and got set up and so the night began. Not only was the food literally incredible, her team jumped in to help pour wine, take pictures and just offer the most incredible hospitality. For reference we had: Ceviche & Corn Flatbread (!!!!!) Ricotta & Fresh Salad Salmon & Summer Risotto (!!!!) and the most unbelievable ganache and choclate & raspberry tart that served as our wedding cake. We are endlessly thankful to Yummy Fixins for making our wedding so special and hope to be able to work with her and the team in the future.

We had a five course menu, and I still can't decide which course I loved the most because they were all 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!

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.

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!! They helped with cake service, refilling waters and they cleaned up after themselves very thoroughly.

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!

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!
