Our crowd of 100 was pretty much all meat eaters but they raved about the food, how flavorful and delicious it was. We also didn't tell our guests it was a vegan meal and no one knew. Someone even asked me why I was eating meat when I ate one of the plant-based meatballs. Highly recommend him for any event. It's so wonderful to have plant-based options that make catering and events more sustainable.

Stephane made the matching appetizers for my celebration of receiving my Court of Master Sommeliers…read morecertificate. It was a party with 11 stations matching food and wine....for 80 people! Stephane came to my house before the party, so that I could pour the wine that I wanted to match the appetizers. This allowed us to taste an array of components to see if they would (or would not) pair with the wine. Stephane had to pair 6 cava/prosecco/champagnes (2 "brioche-forward," 2 "citrus-forward," 2 "berry-forward"), 1 white (unoaked chardonnay), 3 reds (aged Napa cab, Spanish fruit-forward, Italian), and an aged port. He was very serious about getting the pairing "right" and was a lot of fun - we had a good time *doing* the pairing! He came to my house and he and his sous chef/helper Fred were like dervishes getting the food prepared out. It was *gorgeous* and *delicious.* Plus they left my kitchen cleaner than they found it! The event was a *raving* success! Stephane will make exactly what *you* want. This trumps any of the other companies or businesses that I myself could find. They weren't willing to be *so* specific or do a "pre-tasting" with the wine. Stephane came to the pre-tasting pretty sure about what would pair with what - but after our tasting, we were able to scratch some appetizers, craft others, etc. - each of us working to our strengths. Stephane cares about making your party an Event in every perfect detail!

My experience with Punto Fino Coffee was a special one. Dan was our guide for this roasting…read moreexperience and he didn't disappoint. The roast was hosted at his lovely home tucked away on a wooded hillside in Fairfax (Amazing view I must say). Dan started off with some basic worldly knowledge about coffee and then got into different roasting techniques, sharing a couple of his passionate stories about coffee along the way (very enthusiastic and knowledgeable). The part most special to me was actually roasting the coffee beans over the open flame. Putting the knowledge I just learned to the test was a very gratifying experience. I look forward to drinking my freshly roasted coffee with my partner at home. At the end they have beginner roasting kits for sale so you can continue your roasting experience and you can even snag some cool merch! Overall the experience was very educational and would highly recommend to coffee enthusiasts or beginners alike! You won't be disappointed.

We decided to work with Blooming Spoon during early postpartum - Bodhi made sure that any special…read morerequest and specialty items for postpartum were accommodated. She paired us with Chef Elizabeth, and the food was absolutely incredible. It exceeded any restaurant quality in all of Marin. Elizabeth made some of the best meals we have ever eaten. Most importantly, I care about the sourcing of quality ingredients, and Blooming Spoon completely understands this - sourcing seasonal and organic ingredients. My family moved out of the area, and I wish we could convince Blooming Spoon to move with us haha!

My wife and I are both Weight Watchers (she's mostly helping me as she's right at goal weight) and…read morehave dairy, gluten and sugar dietary restrictions. Cooking ourselves a healthy, diverse and flavorful diet that meets our dietary requirements is a chore so of course we aren't that great about it. We met Bodhi Cole and then Shannon from Blooming Spoon and now we have fresh, delicious, diverse prepared food that meets our dietary needs delivered to our doorstep every week. When you actually calculate the cost of eating out plus groceries it's really not that much more to have nice folks take care of everything. We now have lunches and dinners augmented with some fruits and veggies from Farm Fresh to You, we eat out far less, are on our dietary plan closer to 100% vs closer to 0%, love the food we get and even see Bodhi or Shannon when food is delivered and always have a nice chat. This service is well worth it and makes our lives better!

And she does that through food and hand-picked dishes that you will never uncover without a guide. Even though locations may change per tour, our group tasted a mix of cultures and got some stories behind the dishes, the restaurants, and their owners. Few examples - * Russian cuisine - Herring with a pickled onion on fresh bread * Indian street food - I was surprised how much I enjoyed this vegan street snack - I would have never ordered anything without meat, and I dislike spinach, but the fried spinach snack was mind-blowingly good. * Mexican - Quesadilla with plantain. Again, no meat but it was soooooo good. * Chinese - Glazed Pork and pork-filled bun I won't spoil the surprise for some of the other locations. And more, and more - Total of about 7-8 places. You won't stay hungry, guaranteed. The walk itself is not challenging; there are no hills to overcome, even though it's San Francisco. Don't wait - Just go!

We learned to cook with the Thermomix while working in teams at different stations, preparing dishes from around the world. It was hands-on, interactive, and a lot of fun - every dish turned out delicious. Miggi is a fantastic teacher: clear, detailed, confident, and incredibly knowledgeable. She explains techniques in a way that's easy to understand, and we all walked away genuinely better cooks. We also paired the experience with wine tasting and learned how to taste and appreciate wine properly, which made the evening even more memorable. On top of that, Miggi's fun, warm personality really brings the whole experience together. My office team loved it and is still talking about it. Highly recommend for team events or anyone looking for a unique, engaging culinary experience.

All the mental health treatment I was going through just wasn't enough. I learned by working with Ajinder the significance of gut health, daily hydration, exercise, meditation, sleep hygiene and even cycle syncing. Before working with her, I would have prided myself in most of those aspects and my knowledge of them, but she helped me put the pieces together to help them make sense and actually work together. Most importantly, she did it all in a manner that made me stick to these habits. Now, nearly 4 months since my last session, I can proudly say I've kept up with all my goals. I wish I could shout from the rooftops how amazing this woman is! It's also worth mentioning that i live on the opposite side of the country as her so for anyone hesitant to do virtual or phone visits, she made it work, even with the time difference. I am so glad I took the leap and did this for myself because it was the foundation I so desperately needed to build my new "me".

The meal was amazing. The portions were a great size and his explanations of the dishes were perfect. We even had some leftovers to enjoy the next day. Overall I would love to have Chef Oliver cater another party for me and the entire Kitchit experience was really pleasant and positive!
