Chef in My Kitchen

Chef Mary is an absolute pleasure to work with! She made it easy to create our menu, showed up right on time and ready for our big bunch of 23, created a delicious 4 courses (appetizers, salad, main and dessert) and cleaned the kitchen better than when we had arrived! Definitely get the bourbon salmon and sweet potatoes...

Mary and her team helped me with a client event at the end of October. From beginning until end it was an amazing experience. I had more compliments from clients than for any other event I have ever hosted. It was so great, that night I personally booked Mary and her team to help me with a Holiday Party at my house in December. Needless to say they didn't disappoint. First Class all the way!!

If you need a top notch cater for great food and reasonable prices, Chef in my Kitchen is the choice. We first tried their food at a Wine tasting event and everything was delicious. Recently, we had an adult party with 50 people and everyone raved about the food. Mary (owner) was great to work with. She was very responsive, provided great insights along with suggestions and delivered everything as promised. Her staff arrived right on time and was very friendly. Mary definitely came across as a person that takes pride and attention to the food and service she was delivering. Her staff also has the pride and attention to detail which was fantastic to experience.

Mary prepared a delicious seasonal menu... without the seasonal entrée. She was flexible enough to prepare another menu entrée for me. Mary also kept my daughter entertained for at least 2 hours!If you want a night off from kitchen duty (shopping, cooking, serving, cleaning), this is a great luxury to experience. Get the season pumpkin butterscotch lava cake while you can!!!!!

What an incredible experience. Chef Cook and her team came to our vacation home to give a class on Italian pasta. They brought everything not typically stocked in a rental home and taught the 12 of us how to make tortellini, gnocchi, caprese salad, cannoli cups... What a feast. Chef Cook is very good at teaching people of various levels of experience, allowing everyone to feel comfortable and included in the fun. The food was delicious and the crew provided the initial prep of the ingredients, setting of the table, and the clean-up of the pots and pans. By the time they were finished, all we had to do was load the plates and glasses in the dishwasher after eating the delicious meal! We will be planning another class with them during our 2022 trip.

Mary was a treasure to work with! She is the consummate professional and was always quick to respond to questions that I had. She helped prepare a delicious dinner for our parents as a celebration of their 50th wedding anniversary. They raved not only about her food, but about how lovely she was. We look forward to working with her again!

Bottom line up front: Mary was incredible, professional, a pleasure to work with and provided a 5-star meal in our home. We had a small family gathering to celebrate our son's medical school graduation. Our vision was a relaxing, enjoyable event in our home without meal planning, preparation or clean up. From the very first meeting we were impressed with Mary and she far exceeded our expectations. She took care of all the meal planning, shopping, preparation and clean up. Her individual touches, like the personalized menu, helped make the evening even more special. Every course of the meal was incredible and when the dessert was served the conversation ceased and all you heard was a lot of "mmmm's, awwww's and wow." Thank you Mary for providing an incredible meal, making our celebration special and helping us create a wonderful family memory.

My brother is a chef, so I have high expectations when it comes to hiring a caterer. Mary and her team not only met every expectation I had, they exceeded them. I have a chalet for my clients at the Oceana Air Show every year and this year we were required to find our own catering for the event. Not an easy task when talking about base access, not having a normal kitchen set up, or even easy access to power. Mary was fantastic to work with through the entire process, a great communicator and made my job of coordinating for not only my chalet, but another one as well, easy. They fed more than 800 people over two days with amazing food and great service. I received many compliments on the food as well as requests for her contact information because she was so great. She has my highest recommendation!

It was such a pleasure to work with Mary. She helped me plan (from across the country, no less!) a series of meals to deliver to my brother and his wife on the occasion of their newest baby. Mary took my very broad instruction and turned it into hearty, healthy and very reasonable meals delivered weekly to make their lives easier when I couldn't be there in person.

Half jokingly, I would refer to Mary as my wife! As a professional woman whose workday may last up to 12 hours, it has been a little bit of heaven to come home to a delicious, nutritious meal prepared just the way we like it. Mary would deliver a weekly menu with about 30 options that we would pick from and tweak to our food preferences. Every meal is absolutely wonderful! She is very mindful of the coronoavirus-19 pandemic and takes every step to insure our safety which gives me added peace of mind. She is quick to respond when I contact her, she is a complete professional and best of all, a gifted chef! I highly recommend Mary at Chef in My Kitchen!
