My secret in the kitchen is simple: have fun. Food made with love tastes better, and I bring that energy to every detail—from the first bite to the final course.

Chef Allyssa was very polite and punctual. She was flexible with my groups accommodations and very responsive beforehand. The food was good and she did an amazing job of cleaning before she left. This made things very easy and convenient to pivot from as our plans were tight.

Catherine Asselin

Chef allysa was very quick to answer questions and make minor adjustments to our menu. The food was prepared perfectly and garnished so lovely. Our family was able to focus on our evening and celebration. It was great - worth the money!

Nancy M Dalence

Allyssa, from start to finish, was a pleasure to work with. Her menu proposals were all divine, but we chose her Steakhouse option. She was incredibly accommodating to one of our party’s gluten allergy and made sure all menu items were gluten free. Despite this “allergy obstacle”, every single thing presented to us was absolutely delicious, locally sourced, visually stunning and left us all full and more than satisfied. I will absolutely be hiring Chef Allyssa again in the future and encourage any and all who are considering a private chef to do so as well. Thank you Chef Allyssa!

Catrina Huyghe

The food was INCREDIBLE. Highly recommend.

Nick Goerl

We had such a wonderful experience with our chef, Allyssa! From start to finish, everything was seamless and enjoyable. Allyssa was incredibly kind, professional, prepared, and accommodating. This was our first time doing something like this and we feared it may feel obtrusive and awkward, but Allyssa made us feel at ease from the first moment making the entire evening feel relaxed and effortless. The food was absolutely delicious. The starter salad and crostinis were fresh, flavorful, and simply prepared, letting the ingredients shine. The steak was the real standout. It was so tender it cut like butter and cooked to absolute perfection. We finished the meal with a rich, creamy cheesecake that was just the right amount of sweet and the perfect way to end the evening. We truly appreciated the intimate, pressure-free atmosphere she created. It felt like a special night without any of the stress. Highly recommend!
