She worked with us to understand our preferences, what dishes and ingredients we liked (and didn't like). We selected her 3 entrees and 3 appetizers package, and every single dish was healthy and delicious. We are vegan so they were all plant-based. As busy parents, having these meals taken care of was a huge time saver. And it was a great way to eat healthy yet flavorful foods when you don't have much time to cook yourself. Chef Bailey handled everything from cooking to cleanup to storing the dishes in Tupperware, allowing us to truly relax and enjoy the food without any extra stress. If you're looking for a chef who understands dietary preferences, delivers outstanding meals, and provides a seamless experience, my wife and I highly recommend Chef Bailey!

The food is farm to table and always arrive in neatly packaged containers every Sunday evening so we have dinners stocked to enjoy the following week. I have had meal services with others before and this is by far the most skilled cooking of farm to table meals. I think it's a good value. One recent review I read was really not fair about "scam". That's just not true but I understand the frustration that led to a misunderstanding. I know the owner/chef was busy and working to try improve their marketing, ordering app, and communications. It's a small business so you just have to contact her directly if there is an issue and she will take care of it. I did that every time and I was patient because I want this good cooking to last to feed my family. Seems like great people. I've spoken to her and met the staff who deliver food to my house. We look forward to ordering each week!

He had spinach and cheese empanadas nearly ready for us when we arrived and after not too long, we all were ready to get the cooking started. We were either gathered around the kitchen island helping Chef Gustavo chop, peel or mix, seated at the long dinner table or hanging out on the patio outside. It was such a great mix of relaxing, sipping wine and getting our hands dirty and cooking a bit. He shared lots of cooking tips and tricks and made the entire night feel so casual, fun and intimate. We've all taken at least cooking class but this was more like being invited over for a friends dinner party. The paella came out SO incredibly. Packed with seafood (which we learned is actually not the traditional way to serve paella. Usually it is just a piece or two of protein and the rice is the star of the meal). So much flavor I could have had a million servings. It was delicious. For desert, Chef made dulce de leche crepes and I didn't think I had room before but I absolutely enjoyed at least two of these. I loved being a part of this awesome night and would definitely recommend a Cozymeal with Chef Gustavo!

We decided to throw mom a dinner party at home and we knew Shelley would be perfect. Mom's a vegetarian so we planned out an adventurous and delicious 6-course tasting menu without any animals being harmed haha. Chef started us off with an amuse bouche of collard harissa spring rolls -- absolutely spectacular! That was followed by a healthy and flavorful microgreens and heirloom tomatoes salad, a mind-blowing BBQ Jack Fruit pizza, a hearty and flavorful lentil tagine, "crab" cakes made with Jack Fruit (so creative and scrumptious!), a super rich medley of mushrooms over sweet potato grits, and a dessert of saffron(!) ice cream in a cardamom waffle cone. Our party was so impressed and nobody enjoyed it more than mom. Needless to say, we were all STUFFED! And for a bunch of meat eaters going all-vegetarian, it was an eye opener into how satisfying vegetarian food can be. Shelley did a masterful job of blending and experimenting with flavors and profiles from Africa to the Deep South, from Persia to Paris, and everywhere in between. We can't wait for our next special occasion with her!

The food was absolutely fantastic and we even came back and noshed on it more in the late night hours. Chef Cisero is both detail-oriented and intent on expanding the palates of guests. Even guests that "don't eat that" found themselves eating new things because of his exemplary presentation and the outstanding blend of tastes. I will not hesitate to book Chef again and strongly encourage anyone looking to wow their guests to book with him also, you will not be disappointed.

I take hosting seriously and am a particularly great but demanding client. I have lost count of the events Chef Cisero has done for me. He has done an 8 person Christmas dinner to a 40 people party with bartenders, servers and valet parkers. He is also great with a wide range of people I once hosted a dinner with the former International Commander of the Navy, a General in the Marines and an Astro Physicist all at the same time and they just loved him. Then I did an event with my silly bottle popping friends and he did just as well there. Chef Cisero greets guests upon their arrival and speak about each course as it's being served. He tells of what inspired the menu and his delivery leaves guests fascinated with his creativity and thoughtfulness. When talent meets superb interpersonal skills and work ethic, its as good as you ever gonna get! :) Cheers!

It's truly difficult to express how amazing Danny and his staff made our wedding event. As we were working to find a chef for our small wedding reception/garden party, Danny stuck out simply because we liked the pictures of his food, but after we met with him, we knew he was the perfect chef for us. He made us feel comfortable from the start (LGBTQIA+ friendly) and understood our tastes and interests from just a 30 minute intro call. We signed our contract with him several months out from the event, but he always kept in touch to make sure our heads were still in the same place in how we wanted to celebrate our wedding. Moving to the actual event, we hosted ~22 people for a cocktail style garden party. Danny came up with an amazing menu including: - Cheese plate (very high quality cheeses; these leftovers made for spectacular girl dinners) - The popcorn project (very cute apps with a special, Danny-made seasoning I can't stop thinking about) - Guacamole three ways (fabulous) - Black bean mango salsa (so refreshing for an outdoor party) - Pimento cheese dip (if you only have one stationary plate option, you should definitely get this) - Black bean hummus (added to our menu last minute and it did not disappoint) - Gazpacho shots (refreshing and elevated) - Shrimp lollipops (perfect way to start the event) - Scallop ceviche (my wife's favorite dish) - Brisket sliders (my favorite dish) - Mini cupcakes (soooooo cute and the perfect size to allow you to try all of the flavors) - Thin mint drunken milkshakes (a perfect way to cap off the night) For drinks, we had a few signature cocktails, lots of wine, and a few non-alcoholic drinks. Danny has a knack for coming up with differentiated cocktails that still bring together all of the flavors you know and love, just at an elevated level. I highly recommend the Santero (mojito adjacent) and my wife loved his bourbon cocktail. We had a few non-alcoholic drinkers and they loved the blood orange margarita. And beyond the food, Danny's staff was perfect. Jessalyn and Camilla were so warm and welcoming and we couldn't have asked for anyone better. The kitchen was a little tight to begin with, but they made more than do with the resources they had and left the kitchen in better condition than how it started. Danny and his sous chef, Cat, were busy and possibly overwhelmed, but didn't show it at all. The cadence the food was sent out was perfect and we loved that we got to chit chat with the whole staff in between courses. When we first met Danny, we told him that with all of the money in the world, we still would want to have a very small wedding reception with a private chef. Danny's personality, food, staff, etc. etc. made it better than we ever could have anticipated.
