Chef Jacob was the best!!! He provided in home meals for my honeymoon. My husband and I were so impressed with his professionalism and food! I've been raving about his food nonstop since we've had it. Top notch service and incredibly personable! We literally want to visit again to specifically have Chef Jacob's food. His wife is also super amazing and it was awesome to see the two cooking alongside each other. Thank you so much!
Chef Jacob and his team were incredible! The food was outstanding! They were informative on all the things I asked of them. The Menu had lots of options. We will defiantly be hiring them again!!
I wanted to hire a private chef for my husbands 40th birthday. My go to was booked, so I found "Chef" Jacob and Carolina as a last resort. Jacob was a nightmare & ruined my husband's bday dinner that was meant to be special. They were BEYOND unprofessional & I ended up telling them to leave our rental for making antisemitic comments. But let me back up and explain how it got to that point. First, they arrived 45 mins late. Carolina mentioned how Jacob wanted to take pictures along the way so it made them late. OK, cool. I was a little annoyed, but moving on. I requested a table setup for an extra $150. It was a joke. Carolina put down a black tablecloth w/ silverware and then USED MY BIRTHDAY DECORATIONS that I set up on another table as the table decor. Bootleg service. It continues to get worse. They complain they drove an hour (they charge for travel) & they don't like doing 2 person dinners, but Carolina had a "good feeling about this one." I'm starting to feel uncomfortable. Don't take a job you don't want to do it & if you do take it, don't complain to your clients. This isn't a free service. My husband offered them a glass of wine since they seemed uptight & they ended up drinking the ENTIRE bottle during the short time they were with us. Jacob is talking A LOT & not cooking so I say "we're going to get out of your way & let you cook." But there wasn't much separation btwn the kitchen & the room we were sitting in, so he just keeps talking. My husband & I love having conversations w/ people from all walks of life, but Jacob was spewing so much nonsense that was hard to follow. Meanwhile his wife was doing ALL the cooking. Then Jacob brings up Kanye West & how he agrees w/ his statements about Jewish people "because black people are the real Jews." Twisted logic. We point out what Kanye said was deeply antisemitic & hateful. At this point I feel like leaving my own rental house as the conversation moves to religion. I'm not even going to get into Jacob's misogynistic views & behavior, but boy did he have them. My husband is trying to keep the peace, but Jacob spirals cutting us off & the conversation gets exhausting and dark. Carolina says, "I tell him not to have these conversations or we'll lose clients." Uh yeah, ya think? Now I'm used to hearing ignorant religious talk so hearing Jacob speak made me uncomfortable, but I have compassion as I grew up in the church. But when he turned the conversation back to Jewish people & said, "What if I told you, ONLY 6,000 JEWS DIED IN THE HOLOCAUST NOT 6 MILLION," I couldn't take his insanity anymore. I told him he sounds like a holocaust denier & what he said is antisemitic. He then loses it wielding his arms in the air telling me to apologize for calling him an antisemite or else he's leaving. So I show him the door and tell them both to pack up and leave. He gets loud & angry & my child is in the other room sleeping. At this point I'm feeling scared that this guy will get violent so my husband becomes the peace maker. Jacob asks me why I even care about Jewish people & I tell him because I'm human & have 0 tolerance for hate. Carolina is trying to finish the food, clearly upset. I tell her to just leave everything & I want this negative energy out of our space. I watch them leave as my husband tries to talk Jacob off a ledge...he was very unstable, unconscious, and emotionally immature. I can't even tell you how the food was because I was too sickened by what happened to eat it. I asked for my deposit back, but Carolina refused. I can't believe this "company" could come into someone's home and be so disrespectful and insane. Jacob also told my husband if we leave a review then he's not who he says he is (a peaceful person). You, Jacob are not in any position to make that statement. It saddens me that I have to write this review as I'd rather focus my energy on more positive things. But I think people should know who they're letting into their homes. Be warned.
We had a great experience with Jacob and Carolina. They communicated extremely fast prior to the event and helped us customize our menu perfectly. They arrived on time and got right to work and we truly could not believe the three course, six person dinner they produced in our small, not well outfitted, airbnb kitchen. It was incredible. They were so accommodating to my young daughters who were not part of our dinner, but wanted to watch professional chefs in action, and they even brought extra dessert for them! After they served the food, they did all the dishes and the kitchen was cleaner than before they came! I couldn't be happier with our choice to go with Your Sous Chef and would pick them again and again. Honestly if I lived in the area, I would book them on a regular basis just to try more of their food. Definitely recommend if you are in the Palm Springs area!
Amazing chef, amazing assistant, amazing food! The 12 girls in our group absolutely loved everything about the dinner and hope to do it again! Definitely recommend Chef Jacob!
Im so sorry that I did not post this sooner, I can tell you this that EVERY day i think that i need to acknowledge what a great guy Chef Jacob is and Your Sous Chef.... So here it is.... He Is Amazing this guy is the real deal, he is honest and genuine cooks chops and works to your schedule and does with what ever you want. I felt so comfortable from the get go and thats a plus. He delivered and was on time, looking very professional and prepared. Chef Jacob came had the meal as agreed on target, chopped prepped and severed us and blessed us with an amazing time. The scallops. the salad and prime rib was perfect and a lovely presentation, it could not have been sweetener. Jacob also brought his sweet wife who came and served and helped out, what a bonus.. One nice treat too, is that he brought his own plates and took them as well, so no clean up for the host. We Will not hesitate to use Chef Jacob again. He is the perfect SOUS chef and I can not thank him enough for his help on making a great dinner for our dear friend Arnie 69th birthday.. On a side note Arnie died 4 days later sadly, we find comfort in the fact that he had a wonderful lovely favorite meal in his own home with his dear family and friends.
Chef Jacob is absolutely reliable and creates absolutely beauty masterpieces with food. I contacted chef with a last minute request for a charcuterie board and he came through astonishingly. I was ordering based on reviews because I am not from the city so I was a bit hesitant... but luckily it turned out great. My sister which was staying in la Quinta loved her board! I contacted him in the early afternoon and 4:30 the charcuterie board was delivered! Great service!!!! Thank you Chef!
I planned a weekend getaway for my fiancé's 30th birthday in Indio and hired this team. Chef Jossi and her assistant Claudia were great. Punctual, resourceful and friendly. We had plenty of food (lamb chops, Scottish Salmon, maple bacon Brussels, garlic mash and seasonal salad). My family is filled with foodies and they raved about the food and service all weekend. The chefs even cleaned and pack the left overs for us! Would definitely recommend.
Our group decided on a private chef experience with Jacob for my Bachelorette Weekend in Palm Springs. The booking process was easy, communication excellent and pricing reasonable. Jacob arrived on time and made us a delicious family style dinner. Everything looked too pretty to eat but we didn't leave a single bit of food left. From the seasonal salad to the orange glazed salmon everything was delicious. The best part is that Jacob took care of the cleaning up too! I definitely recommend Your Sous Chef! read more

I booked Your Sous Chef for my sister's bachelorette party in Indio and it was a highlight of the whole weekend. Jacob and his team are so easy to work with. Communication was very easy throughout the whole booking process. We enjoyed a three course dinner that was wonderfully plated and served to us. Everything was delicious! Jacob and his team are very flexible and will accommodate any dietary restrictions. He also asked multiple times about dietary restrictions before serving which really showed the care he takes into serving his guests. For serving, they were able to find everything in the kitchen at our Airbnb with ease. They cleaned up the kitchen and loaded the dishwasher leaving us with absolutely no clean up. Jacob even went as far as to taking a baby scorpion, that happened to be in the kitchen, outside for us. Highly recommend Your Sous Chef for your next event! read more

Chef sous came to our home with his lovely wife they prepared a beautiful 3 course meal and cleaned up everything as if no one was in the kitchen.

If Jacob lived closer to me, I would get him as a personal chef for my family. Believe it or not, it makes more sense compared to what I pay for the constant food deliveries that I do. Hahahaha! We rented a home in La Quinta to celebrate my friend's bachelorette party. We wanted to do a poolside bbq, but I didn't want to deal with the potential drama of who will be stuck on the grill while others may potentially not help as much. So I found Chef Jacob. First, I was already impressed with how responsive he is. Super polite and follows up quickly. His price is unbeatable (hence the first paragraph). I also love the variety of the menu he provided. Ultimately, we picked a mexican bbq menu. He arrived on time and was super nice! I showed him where the kitchen and the grill was. He moved around it like he's been cooking in that kitchen all his life. We found out that the propane on the grill was empty, but he immediately have a back up plan prepared. We were able to find propane though, so we commenced with the original plan. The food came out great! He even added a few freebies that were delicious. My very discerning latina friends gave his food a 4 out of 5 and service, a 6 out of 5. Hahaha! He was very attentive. We couldn't be happier. read more

A fantastic experience from beginning to end. I would recommend and hire Chef Jacob again in a second. I researched many private chefs in the Palm Springs/La Quinta area for my husband's 40th birthday dinner. I wanted to take advantage of the beautiful house, views and no one having to drive and reached out to Chef Jacob for some meal ideas and rough estimates for a 3 course, sit-down dinner for 8. I had a budget in mind and he worked within that. He shared some of his seasonal and 'favorites' menus which helped me narrow down the choices. He was even able to make a special dessert because it was my husband's favorite. His food quality, the flavors and presentation did not disappoint. You can tell he cares about what he does. The dinner was well paced and his wife assisted with the service and cleanup. They were a great team, very comfortable to work with (really nice and genuine people) and I did not feel that I had to do any extra prep for the dinner. I did print menus but that was my choice for something extra. Thank you Jacob - the Birthday dinner was everything I had hoped. read more
