“Chef Stephanie’s help feeding our family was invaluable. Not only were we provided with delicious meals each week, but she helped us eat better at the same time. Our house was generally afraid of healthy food and vegetables, but not after Chef Stephanie’s help. Thanks to her skill and dishes, we have been eating healthier than ever before. As a side note, her service was always on time and professional. Thank you Chef Stephanie for improving our lives and helping us eat better!”

“Beef soup 🥣 rocked… just a testament to the care that she practices in the designs of her menus as well as her mastery of cooking, with such an impressive and unexpected part of the meals she provides, it gave us a boost while we raised a newborn and toddler through their first month together! We sang praises to anyone we could tell among our family and friends... Chef Steph really rocking all the meals, but especially understands the flavor and tenderness with any meat she works with! She knows what’s she’s doing...Kuiper, our toddler, loved the bbq chicken and macaroni salad!! Pork loin was fabulous! Xoxo chef Stephanie can come stay at our house and cook!”

“Chef Stephanie’s personal chef service improved my quality of life. Before Chef Stephanie I was eating out daily. It was unhealthy, time consuming, and expensive. The personal chef service is convenient, much healthier, and saves me money. I have lost weight and generally feel healthier. I had tried various meal prep services in the past. Chef Stephanie’s personal chef service offers higher quality, better prepared food along with a lot more variety.”

“A friend surprised us with the gift of several prepared meals that were delivered to our house. Chef Stephanie and her team were clear in their communications and delivered exactly what and when promised. The best part was having delicious eclectic meals that carried us from Wednesday to a Saturday just when we most needed a break after moving to a new city in a pandemic with a toddler. Everything was genuinely delicious, from the main dishes to the sides. I highly recommend Chef Stephanie to anyone looking for some help with meals on the regular and I sure know who I’ll contact when I need meals for a special occasion in the future!”

“Chef Stephanie catered our small wedding after we had to downsize due to COVID-19. Her whole team was very professional and helped the event go so smoothly. She worked with us to create a menu that had a little bit of everything. All of the food was delicious (especially the duck and milkshakes)! We would absolutely hire her again for any future catering needs!”

“Chef Stephanie has been feeding our family for over a year and a half now, and has been doing a phenomenal job! She has a wide ranging menu and customizable to your dietary needs and preferences. If it's not on her menu, just suggest it and she'll make it! If you're wondering what's for dinner, Chef Stephanie has the answer!”

“I was blessed with Chef Stephanie’s extraordinary food dishes from a friend after my family lost a loved one. Chef Stephanie’s dish options are extensive and satisfying for all food dietary restrictions. We were able to choose meat, vegetarian, and vegan options. Ordering was a breeze through text or email. Chef Stephanie also offers contactless delivery. Quite impressive! Now the good stuff, lol. Every item we ordered was full of flavor and perfect portion sizes. We even got surprised with some outstanding chocolate chip cookies in one of our contactless deliveries. To say that I would use Chef Stephanie again is an understatement. Highly recommended.”

“Chef Stephanie created a fabulous menu for our book club dinner party! This particular menu was vegetarian, and included three appetizers, as well as a three-course meal. The food was not only tasty and flavorful, but the presentation was spectacular! Variety of colors, textures, and flavors all A+. Chef Stephanie is very professional and highly creative. Highly recommend!”

“Chef Stephanie is professional, kind and a culinary GENIUS! She creates flavorful, colorful, healthy & balanced meals. She has helped take the headache out of ‘What’s for dinner?’…Not to mention the time it takes to meal plan, shop and actually cook the meal. Time is the commodity we never have enough of. I have also seen photos of her beautiful dinner parties as well, and can’t wait to book one. Two thumbs WAY up for Chef Steph!”

Let’s not forget you get to hear laughter and great conversation, smiles and hugs…that is what happens when Chef Stephanie makes an evening with your family and friends…priceless!! An absolutely worthy evening for all involved!! A must taste…”

“I hired Chef Stephanie & her staff to support an executive, private dinner party with only about a week’s notice—and her team nailed it. The food was delicious! The staff was friendly, organized, and very professional. I will absolutely book Chef Stephanie again in the future.”

“Chef Stephanie catered a small dinner party for us this weekend. We cannot say enough wonderful things about her and her assistant…from start to finish they were awesome. Everything was timely, they were organized, the food presentation and taste were amazing, the personal service was attentive, warm and friendly, but not intrusive. They left my kitchen spotless.

“Her enthusiasm for her cooking and wanting her client to be completely satisfied were evident from the get go! I would not hesitate to ask her to do any size event for me.”

“Chef Stephanie and her amazing staff have provided elegant sit down dinners in a historic venue for our organization. The food is wonderful with care taken to tailor menu to customers’ delight, the staff are very organized, thoughtful, friendly and flexible to meet every occasion. Chef Stephanie orchestrates everything so well. We are always happy at our foundation when a client selects Chef Stephanie for their catering needs. We know it will be a success!!!!!”

“We found many caterers have a cookie cutter approach to events—you pick from a list of options on their prepared list of items, tell them the number of people, and that’s about it. What we love about Chef Stephanie is that she is willing to create a seasonal menu that works with your event concept, and do it within your budget (being totally up front about all costs involved, weighing pros and cons in a realistic way). When we first met, her passion for food and interest in creating something unique was immediately clear. She is extremely organized, responsive on email (we planned from afar so that was crucial!), confident, and up for a challenge. On top of the above, Chef Stephanie is a lovely person and made the whole planning process a positive and exciting experience.”

“We rented a house in Sonoma for a private wedding and decided instead of going out for dinner after the ceremony we’d rather have a chef come to the house and make a meal for us. Stephanie was such a delight to work with. She is organized, enthusiastic and professional, which made the whole pre-wedding experience stress free. Her servers were just fabulous the night of the dinner, setting aside plates of the most delicious appetizers for my husband and me so there would be some left after we were done with the photographer. The 10 people who were at the house during our photos said the servers were terrific about continuously passing appetizers and pouring Prosecco and keeping everyone happy! The dinner was lovely and I am so glad we decided to have Stephanie come to the house and make our wedding dinner so memorable!”

“In May we rented the historical Yellow Ferry in Sausalito for two weeks. We were celebrating our 50th Anniversary and wanted one night set aside for a family dinner. Something special. After much searching online I connected with Chef Stephanie. She didn’t disappoint. There were a few hiccups along the way that she helped resolve. On the appointed night Chef Stephanie did her magic making the night as special as we had hoped. From the three starters served by her Sous Chef/Waiter until we all pushed away from the table, all was perfection. Would not hesitate to use Chef Stephanie again…Thanks Chef Stephanie!”

“Chef Stephanie is a magician in the kitchen. Her food is a feast for the eyes and simply delicious. I love that she is able to present flavors that are both familiar and new so that when the meal ends, you’re left thinking, ‘wow, that was the best ‘fill in the blank’ I’ve ever had!’. Her range of cooking styles is vast, and she can satisfy all eaters, from the biggest carnivores to the strictest of vegans (sometimes even at the same table!).”

“My wife and I had Chef Stephanie cater for my birthday last weekend. The food was awesome, her staff were attentive and friendly (one even brought lemons and some flowers from his own garden!), and she was great with incorporating the cake and Montreal smoke meat we bought into the menu. In spite of relatively short notice, she was still happy to swing by the house and adjust her quote based on the layout of the house and our input. We’d gladly have her again!”
