Chef Melanie was amazing throughout the entire process. From the moment I contacted her, she was extremely helpful in crafting a Classic French dinner menu for my wife’s birthday dinner. Melanie is very knowledgeable and offered several menu options, as well as recommended wine pairings for each course. Her suggestions were creative and thoughtful. On the day of the event, Melanie and her staff were extremely professional and accommodating towards all the guests. All of the courses served were delightful and flavorful. The main dish (Coq au Vin) was excellent in its presentation and execution. All in all, we were very pleased with Melanie, as a person and also in her culinary skills. Excellent! Highly recommended. Would definitely hire again. Thank you , Melanie.

Chef Mel created an unforgettable send off dinner to our weekend in Sonoma. She was extremely patient and accommodating with menu planning and vegetarian substitutions. With a group of 12 women it’s difficult to please all participants but the whole meal was a pleasure. The bacon wrapped date appetizer was incredible. However, the joy of finding the leftovers neatly packaged and labeled in the fridge for a late snack may have been our highlight! Thank you for cooking up such a memorable evening.

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 11 - 20 guests • Dinner • Premium (high end ingredients) • Dessert • Italian • Mexican / Latin American • French • Vegetarian or vegan • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

Chef Mel was everything you could have hoped for when planning a special celebration brunch for a 50th birthday and college reunion. She worked with me closely to craft the perfect menu designed to the guest of honors favorites and even tried a new recipe just to re-create a special dessert we had nearly 20 years ago! She was attentive to our timeline and needs, followed up & even was flexible to adjust timing on the day of the event. She showed up on time and just got to work creating an event to remember. By the time we were all dressed and ready for brunch, our feast was beautifully displayed for us to enjoy in the perfect setting. And the brunch was amazing!! I'm still dreaming of the maple bacon and the potatoes were "****" :). I couldn't have asked for more and would recommend her to anyone planning a special in-home catered event in the area! I'll share pictures soon! Thank you Chef Mel.
