Adam Small and his team were recommended to us by a family member who also used his services for…read moreher wedding. We could not be happier with the recommendation as the appetizers and entrées were absolutely stunning -- both in flavor and aesthetics! Our biggest difficulty was choosing dishes from his diverse catalog of offerings since they all sounded delicious. He was also very accommodating and made various adjustments to account for particular food allergies that some of our guests had (without compromising on flavor at all). For appetizers, we chose: - Pepper-Crusted Seared Ahi Tuna (Seka Hills EVOO, Sicilian Pesto, Herbs) - Ratatouille Tarts (Puff Pastry, Seka Hills EVOO, Parmigiano Reggiano) - Pistachio Flatbread (Onion, Burrata, Honey, and Chili Oil -- this one was a extra-huge hit with all guests) For dinner, we started with a Local Harvest Salad (Farm Vegetables, Fruit, Vinaigrette, Cheese, and Nuts -- plating was particularly beautiful for the salad), and had three entrée options: - Wagyu New York Steak (Imperial American Wagyu, Roasted Vegetables, Marinated Portobello Mushrooms, Potato Galette, and Red Wine Jus) - Signature Duck (Mary's Crusted Duck Breast, Hind-Quarter Confit, Potato Cake, Charred Vegetables, and Duck Jus) - Roasted Butternut Squash with Cannellini Beans (Charred Vegetables, Marinated Portobello Mushrooms, and Saffron-Rosemary Broth) Throughout our entire wedding and afterwards, guests were telling us how impressed they were and that it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding! He and his team arrived right on schedule, set up (including silverware and plates) cooked and served outstanding food, provided extremely attentive service, and then cleaned up, leaving the kitchen absolutely spotless (while also deftly navigating a brief power outage!). We cannot recommend Adam Small Cooks highly enough! His food, attention to detail, and service are truly next level. Thank you again for making our wedding so special!

Chef Adam was amazing!!!…read more We celebrated a friend's birthday with 6 people at an Airbnb in Sonoma. We had a six course menu (see below for details) that was excellent! For the vegetarian in the group (me) he was able to whip up a wonderful dish when everyone else was eating halibut. Every single dish was a stand out and the group was so happy with how everything turned out. This was a wish of the birthday girl - to have a private chef and to spend time with her girlfriends. She was blown away by the experience. The 6 course meal included: Fried Baby Artichokes: lemon aioli, herbs, chili oil Flatbread: preserved truffle, pistachios, onion, burrata, honey, chili oil Ash Roasted Beets: kimchi honey, pistachios, ravigote, feta Charred Zucchini Agnolotti: fried sage, brown butter, lemon, pepper, parmigiana Seared Halibut: fennel-potato salad, herbs, haricot vert, preserved truffle champagne sauce Under-Baked Chocolate Cake: Italian meringue, Luxardo cherries, cocoa nibs Also, our kitchen was left spotless! Thanks again Chef Adam for giving us the perfect first day of our trip!

Not only is the food delicious, but the service in impeccable. Once a week, I choose from over 250 items. The meals are delivered to my home and keep me and my family stocked up for the entire week. My kids love the Panko Crusted Chicken Fingers and Deb's cookies. Very hard for me to choose a favorite. I love the Stuffed Pork Loin and the Lasagne. Enchiladas, flank steak, spaghetti and meatballs. You name it, they make it. The sides are also amazing and they have tons of healthy options. I highly recommend the personal chef services of The Chef Works for busy families that need a title extra help with the cooking.

We emailed to discuss availability, menus, and payment details. She listened to our dietary needs and designed fantastic menus for us (I really wanted potatoes and she came through for me!). My favorite dishes that Guillemette made were the "rustic galette" and "super green risotto." The food is tasty, healthy, and nourishing. Very generous portion sizes. Guillemette's prices were also very humble. We have tried other private chef services and Guillemette is not only a better chef, she is also priced better. If I have another baby, Guillemette will be one of my first calls. Highly recommend her services to anyone having a baby or recovering from surgery.

I don't have to worry or think about cooking and that has been a lifesaver. Eating healthy food was my top priority, but there's no way I could have managed it on my own without her. She makes warm, easy-to-digest meals, which is so important when your body and digestion are still recovering after giving birth. She's also really lovely to have around--easy to chat with for a few minutes while my husband and I are busy with the baby. My favorites so far have been her chicken soup and different warm dishes with meatballs, but honestly everything has been so good. And this isn't something she has to do, but my kitchen always looks a little cleaner after she leaves, which feels like such an unexpected bonus. I'll be recommending her to all my friends who have babies in her service area. She's amazing, and I'm so grateful for her support!
