“Cooking is a mirror that reflects the mind.” 100% made with love

Chef Stella was absolutely stellar! She made every dish with great attention to detail and everything tasted incredible. Every dish had a distinct flavor, we couldn’t pick a favorite. Everything also looked beautiful. She made sure to give us a fine dining experience at home. I want her to come back and cook for us again. Still can’t stop thinking about that amazing salad and the dessert.

Stella was great! On time, organized, pleasant and delicious food. She politely adapted to our shifting schedule and was a pleasure to have in our home.

Amazing food ! Very professional. Overall great experience :)

We had such a great experience with Chef Stella. She was so helpful with curating the perfect menu, and we honestly loved every single dish she made. The food was incredible, and she was just great company to have in the house. She handled everything from start to finish and left the kitchen sparkling. We can’t wait to have her back!

Chef Stella was skillful and engaging in my kitchen. My guests loved everything especially appetizers while we watched her cook. The sashimi was like butter! And she cleaned up very well!!

Stella gave my family and me an amazing experience for a holiday dinner. The food was excellent, creative, portioned generously, and presented beautifully. Stella herself was warm, courteous, professional, and really wonderful. All-in-all, fantastic meal with a lot of attention to details.

Chef Stella is a true artist. Her meal was very, very good! Her ability to work with what utensils I had and her ingredients was magical and delish. The kindness and joy that she brought to the day was calming and centering. My guests and I LOVED the food and her timing of bringing everything out was perfect! A divine and special night because of her culinary artisanal expertise.

Stella is an incredible chef with a ton of attention to all the details in the presentation of the meals she prepared for my partner and I, made the experience nice and interactive, took an interest in our history with our food preparation practices, and topped off the evening with some incredible Korean-inspired dessert. Highly recommend her!

Stella was wonderful all around! We had a family style Mediterranean dinner for my husband's birthday and loved every dish! Her appetizers were wonderful and the chicken she made was incredible as was the tiramisu!!!

From our first virtual menu proposal encounter to our post-dinner farewell, Chef Stella exceeded all of our expectations. Clearly, Chef Stella had reviewed our initial TakeaChef request and crafted a menu proposal that was designed to meet our unique needs. Subsequently, she explained clearly her approach to menu design based on client needs and made minor revisions to the menu as we provided additional information clarifying our desired outcome. On the day of our dinner, Chef Stella arrived promptly, setup her dinner prep station and crafted our dinner menu diligently with an accommodating, pleasant, and engaging style for all ranging in age from 3 to 74 years of age. The presentation was perfect for our location and situation; and, the restaurant quality food was delicious and enjoyed by everyone. Finally, Chef Stella thoroughly cleaned and re-ordered the kitchen returning to it to the state she found it when she had arrived hours earlier. Overall, Chef Stella performed professionally, warmly, and incredibly!
