I have taken a plant based sushi class and a vegan pho class with her. Both were delightful experiences. I loved getting to talk with the other participants, being around the beautiful ingredients (bunches of fresh herbs, gorgeous vegetables), and getting to learn new techniques. Plus at the end of each class you get to feast and sometimes take home leftovers. If you're looking for a wonderful gift for yourself or a friend check out one of her classes. Plus on her website she shares some delicious free recipes. This is one of my favorites: https://cookloveheal.com/coconut-sweet-potato-and-chickpea-curry/. Enjoy!

I love cooking and love taking cooking classes. I have tried many cooking classes from places like…read moreWhole Foods and Central Market to culinary school classes for general public to cooking classes from independent chefs. Chef Rachel's classes are by far my favorite. Her classes are hands-on. Her recipes are practical (ingredients can be found from a normal grocery store and dishes can be made in reasonable amount of time). Her dishes are healthy AND delicious! And everyone gets to taste the dishes from the class at the end of the class. I use more recipes from her classes than any other cooking classes that I have taken in the past! And my kids also LOVE the dishes that I learn from her classes. I look forward to learning more dishes from her classes in the future.

Before I go into the details of my experience, I want to say Chef Bon was absolutely wonderful. Not…read moreonly was her food amazing, she was a joy to talk to and full of energy at the party. I set up a bachelor party for my brother and his 15 friends, we were staying in a house outside of Austin. I knew we were going to have barbecue for lunch and asked Chef Bon to help set up a dinner. She set up a call to discuss a menu and e-mailed me an example of menu items. During our call, she asked all of the necessary questions: how many people, any dietary restrictions, what kind of food, etc. Since my brother likes all kinds of food, she instead asked what restaurants he likes. She said she would revisit the menu items and get back to me. She adjusted the menu to factor in the restaurants and the barbecue we were going to have for lunch. It was a perfect balance to accommodate the attendees and compliment the barbecue from earlier. When we finalized all of the details, she reached out to the house we rented to find out what supplies she needed to cook the dinner. Although they had mostly everything she needed, she still brought her own supplies. All of the preparation culminated to a wonderful, perfect dinner! She had everything prepared on time, explained all of the menu items in detail, and even let you try food in the kitchen while she was preparing the food. She made it feel like we were having dinner at her home. All in all, it was a perfect experience. It was incredibly convenient to have a personal chef, but I couldn't imagine our experience would have been better than Chef Bon.

Chef Bonnie was a highlight of our trip to Fredericksburg! After a day of visiting the wineries, we…read morewere treated to a delicious 4 course meal. The apps were ready when we arrived home, and the food kept flowing at a comfortable pace after that. Setting up this meal with Chef Bonnie was super easy as she was on point with her recommendations and price point. I can't rave about her Dijon crusted flank steak and truffled potatoes enough. The leftovers didn't last the evening! Her sparkling personality was the cherry on top. Can't wait to do this again next year when we are back in town. Highly recommend you try her and her amazing meals as well.

My husband and I have been using Modern Cupboard's personal chef services for almost 10 months now…read more Vanessa is great, she took all of our dietary restrictions into account and makes some really really yummy meals. We were people who ordered out every meal and ate frozen meals for lunch each day. Now we have fresh food delivered each week and it's so easy to reheat. All the back and forth (and drama) that came with dinner time is gone. On top of that, the meals she makes for us are healthy and diverse from week to week so I don't get sick of it (like when we did Snap kitchen). Cannot say enough great things about the Modern Cupboard and Vanessa.

We had Nicholas come to our home for my sisters 30th bday and it was incredible! He provided a full…read more4 course meal for 7 of us and it was the best experience ever. What a great way to enhance an special occasion or surprise friends / family and give them the experience of fine dining in the comfort of your own home. He even does the dishes and provides everything. We opened a few bottles of wine (BYOB) and asked him questions all while keeping a safe distance and he wears a mask the whole time if you request it. It was a hands free evening of family and fun. I worked with him to create a menu beforehand that would be delicious but also cater towards the birthday girl who was pregnant and has a gluten free and dairy free diet. He made everything perfect and we are booking him for all holiday meals and future family gatherings. Even perfect for special clients too!!

Wowza, these folks are simply amazing!…read more I was looking for a caterer for a 50th birthday celebration for 30 people at my home. I was referred to Brandy and am I so glad I was! I initially spoke to Brandy over the phone and set up an appointment for her too see our space and discuss menu options. She brought along her assistant, Mia who would be our server/coordinator for the evening. They were prepared, professional, detailed oriented and helped us consider all our options including when to serve, what to serve and how much at what time. They had all the answers. Brandy was great communicating details before our event and on the day of the event Mia showed up exactly as planned. What an asset Mia is, her timing was perfect, she kept our kitchen organized and great food was plentiful at all times. Frankly Mia was so good that I didn't even notice she was around until after all our guests left and our kitchen was spotless. Mia's timing was perfection and seamless and it allowed us to just enjoy ourselves, our event and our friends! Seriously cannot say enough great things about the team at Fine Home Dining! Thank you!!!
