If you're looking for a five-star chef experience, look no further than Chef Eileen! I found her through a Yelp search, and from start to finish, the process was seamless. Eileen was efficient, kind, and incredibly responsive. We connected through Yelp, and before I knew it, we had moved the conversation to text. She was direct yet flexible, open to different styles of cuisine, and worked with me to create a menu that fit my budget. Within just a few hours, I had a tailored menu that blew me away. Her reviews on Yelp already spoke highly of her skills, and I'm here to add to the chorus of praise! The food she prepared for my annual holiday lunch was nothing short of exceptional--fresh, flavorful, and cooked with so much care and love. My family was spoiled with a feast that left everyone raving! Not only was the meal unforgettable, but there were also plenty of leftovers. Everyone packed up extras for their lunch and dinner, and I personally enjoyed the deliciousness for two more days. Chef Eileen delivered a menu for 12 that exceeded all expectations, and she's local and willing to deliver--an added bonus! I will absolutely be calling her again and encourage you to do the same. Don't hesitate--she's a gem! Everything was so good I forgot to take pics!!! read more

What's Cookin' - My family really enjoyed the taco bar and the delicious enchiladas!! - Personal Chefs Near Me

Eileen is amazing! Her food is delicious! I recently had an an accident that took me off of my feet. Unable to shop, unable to cook and did NOT want to start the whole take-out thing with bad oils and overly salted food. Eileen has been delivering me 4 meals a week (for 2 people), with deliveries twice a week to ensure that the food is fresh. All meals have heating instructions and she is willing to work with allergies, likes, dislikes and preferences. The portions are generous and the food is great. Every night feels like we're eating at a fine dining restaurant. Eileen is super responsive and friendly. Cannot recommend her highly enough! read more

The food was great and everyone enjoyed it. We had tri-tip, chicken marsala, Gnocchi alfredo, green beans almondine and cesar salad. It was hard to decide what to order. Maybe next time we can have eggplant parmesan, Butternut squash Ravioli with brown butter or roasted winter vegetables. read more

Eileen was referred to me by a friend to cater my father's memorial reception. Obviously, this was a difficult time for our family. Eileen worked patiently with me with me on a menu that included vegan options for some guests including me! All of the food was delicious and Eileen and her staff were warm and supportive, which was greatly appreciated during this emotional time. read more

Eileen and her team were fantastic in catering our whiskey holiday party. They showed up on time even though the storm of the decade was hitting san francisco. we did an hour of passed apps, all of which were delicious and filling before drinking a lot! The cheese and charcuterie platters were fantastic, great selection. And the big finale, the bourbon bread pudding, was the perfect finish to a night of drinking whiskey. Eileen was super easy to work with, and was great communicating menus and working through changes as the event came near. As a former chef myself, I would 100% recommend Eileen for your party needs! read more

Eileen and her staff catered a college graduation party. the food was AMAZING! great visual displays and exceptional food. Highly recommend. read more

I cannot believe this lady is in business. How can you call 30 minutes after you are expected to be somewhere to say you are just now on your way but will be stopping at the store still, and then end up being nearly TWO HOURS late... especially to something as important as bridal shower! It was EXTREMELY unprofessional to show up late, the food was mediocre at best, and she was NOT a peach to deal with once she finally arrived. Although I did not let this ruin my time, I felt very bad for the my mother (of the bride) who put so much effort, thought and planning into this bridal shower for me to enjoy. I am very unhappy with her service and I am astounded that she still charged my mom full price... you show up 2 hours late and actually ask to be paid in full! She won't be in business for long if she does this to all of her clients. RIP OFF!! I would have given her zero stars if yelp had allowed. read more

Chef Eileen catered for my non-profit's annual cocktail party on 11/13/14 in San Francisco. I couldn't be a bigger fan with the service she provided. The food was excellent (sausage stuffed mushrooms, ahi tuna poke, baked brie, pear and goat cheese tartlets to name a few) and her assistants did a great job passing the food around and interacting with the guests. It was a pleasure working with Eileen in the process and she was always happy to listen to suggestions. The guests had a blast and I was happy to hear many compliments on the food throughout the night. I would definitely work with Eileen again and recommend her for your next event. read more

Eileen and her staff did our wedding reception meal at the Benicia Memorial Museum for 85 guests in October, 2017. Ours was an unusual request - we prepped the dishes because the groom, and excellent cook himself, had very specific recipes which he wanted to prepare, then have Eileen cook at the reception. Sounds crazy but Eileen pulled it off with flying colors!! She was flexible, she was patient, she listened, she gave input, she was professional, she did a great job. Her staff was delightful and our guests loved them. She arrived on time, ready to work, and never once missed a beat. Her services made the reception a huge success. As we downsize to dinner parties and ever need the assistance of a home town, professional chef, we will definitely be giving Eileen a call!! Gay L. read more

This summer we hired Eileen and her staff with What's Cookin to cater a backyard luau party. From beginning to end, she was very easy to work with. The bottom line is that her food was AMAZING! What a talent!! Our party guests raved about the dishes she prepared. Since the party was themed, we worked together to come up with the perfect selections for a luau. Her staff that worked the party with her were super friendly and smiley, professional, and instinctively knew how to "be there" for our guests needs. As the hosts of the party, my husband and I were able to focus entirely on our guests, which is exactly what we were looking for. We were all very impressed with everything, and are certain we found our new favorite caterer! Thanks Eileen and your staff for a job well done! read more

I am an event planner with East Bay Savvy Events and we used Eileen and her staff to make appetizers for one of our clients.

The staff passing the food was also very friendly and professional! read more

Chef Eileen and Teresa visited us at the cottage on Franciscan Winery Estates in St. Helena this past Saturday. Everything tasted absolutely amazing and it ended up being such a great experience! They arrived early, had the appetizers prepared (pork filled pot stickers), and put together an amazing feast, which included a caesar salad, parmesan chicken, ricotta stuffed pork chops, roasted red potatoes and veggies, and a chocolate lava cake TO DIE FOR. She went above and beyond to make our night special, and it was the perfect ending to a long day of wine tasting in the beautiful Napa valley. I could not recommend a better chef that will make your experience one you and your guests will never forget! read more

Eileen recently catered an event for me for 150 people. I left the menu to her since I didn't want to have to decide. She went above and beyond with the food. Everyone was impressed and told me they went back for multiple servings. And there was more than enough food for everyone. She was also pleasant to work with, easy to communicate with, and early for the event. I would hire her again in a heartbeat. read more

Hired Eileen to deliver meals to a client of mine that recently had a baby. Service was terrible.....will never use her again and suggest you find a different chef for your event/needs. Eileen agreed to deliver meals to my client's house....was over an hour late for one delivery and for another, asked my client to meet her on an exit ramp off the freeway! She told my client she "had to much to do". Eileen was rude and disrespectful. Please, please, please do not use this company..... read more
