From the table setting to the delicious variety of appetizers, to a meal that truly rivaled any restaurant experience AND the dessert, she delivered.The local ingredients were delectable, to say the least. From appetizers to dessert our entire group savored each bite! Thanks again Amanda for making our birthday celebration so special.

We've had the pleasure of enjoying Amanda's cooking at friends' homes, and now that we hosted our own Amanda experience, we're hooked. The entire booking and planning process was easy and professional. After one conversation, Amanda came up with a menu that couldn't have been more perfect. She arrived at our home with fresh flowers and got right to work. As always, the food was divine. And here's one of the best parts: Amanda does all the dishes and leaves your kitchen more spotless than when she arrived. I highly recommend her private chef service!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Amanda for a bachelorette weekend in Portland, ME and it was incredible from start to finish. Amanda is extremely professional, friendly and responsive during the planning stages. She took all allergies and preferences into consideration when curating the menu and adjusted for any requests along the way. The presentation of all the food during our evening was beautiful not to mention absolutely delicious!! Amanda nailed the entire menu and I would definitely use her services in the future!

We collaborated on the meal and it was superb and I and my guests can be food snobs! Lobster bisque, butternut squash soup with crème fraiche and chestnuts, homemade pumpkin ice cream cones and chocolate cake…plus others! Amanda and  Andrea were unobtrusive, professional and cleaned everything up beautifully! This was a great alternative to the usual catering companies!

From start to finish, Amanda was professional and organized. Every dish she created was delicious — beautifully presented and full of flavor. She made the entire experience feel effortless, allowing our family to relax and truly enjoy the celebration. You can tell she puts her heart into her cooking. Highly recommend Amanda for any special occasion — we’re already thinking about when to book again!

She prepared some really amazing dishes that we could reheat and really saved our sanity with a newborn! Couldn’t recommend her enough for dinner parties or meal prep!
