Peter Barber2024-08-19I wish I could give more stars... The dinner Cheryl and Emeli served us was out of this world! From the tablescape to the cleanup, it was truly an exercise in decadence. Outstanding meal enhanced by the ladies' willingness to engage our party with chitchat, discussion of ingredients and just generally putting us first. Very casual, no hurry, no fuss no muss. Just what the doctor ordered! Highly recommend these folks for anyone wanting to be pampered.Clifton Muckenfuss2024-08-05I recently had the pleasure of hiring Chef Cheryl and Sous Chef Emeli to prepare gourmet meals for a mastermind event aboard my catamaran, and I couldn't be more impressed with their exceptional service and culinary talents. From the moment they stepped on board, Cheryl and Emeli brought a sense of professionalism and expertise that set the tone for the entire event. Despite facing poor weather and less-than-ideal boating conditions, they never wavered in their commitment to delivering an outstanding culinary experience. The gourmet lunch, a taco bar featuring blackened grouper, shrimp and chicken, with all the fixings and four-course dinner (scallop appetizer, caesar salad in a parmesan basket, filet and lobster with zucchini and a potato gratin, crème brulee) they prepared were nothing short of extraordinary. Every dish was a masterpiece, showcasing not only their impeccable cooking skills but also creativity and attention to detail. The flavors were exquisite, with each course offering a delightful blend of taste and texture. Presentation was another highlight of the experience. Cheryl and Emeli have a keen eye for detail, and each plate was a work of art. The care they took in plating each dish was evident. Their ability to execute flawlessly under challenging conditions speaks volumes about their professionalism and dedication. Cheryl and Emeli not only met but exceeded my expectations, creating a memorable culinary experience that became a highlight of the event. I highly recommend Cheryl and Emeli to anyone seeking a top-notch culinary team. Their passion for food, creativity, and resilience in the face of challenges make them truly exceptional. Thank you, Cheryl and Emeli, for making our event a resounding success!Jen M2024-07-23Chef Cheryl provided an incredible dining experience for our 50th birthday dinner party. We started the evening with a varied charcuterie board, beautifully presented and generously filled with fine quality meats, cheeses, fruits and more. The lamb shank and parmesan crusted grouper entrees were a huge hit with the gusts, along with the tiramisu for dessert. The scallop appetizer was exceptionally tender and flavorful, and guests are still talking about it. Chef Cheryl and her assistant Emeli were consummate professionals, setting up quickly and quietly, and leaving the kitchen immaculate as they left. With a huge and diverse menu to choose from, exceptional execution skills, a warm and friendly demeanor, and absolute professionalism, I can’t recommend Chef Cheryl’s services highly enough.Tara Burns2024-07-22I hired Chef Cheryl to cook for a small group for my husband’s 40th Birthday.

And for the cherry on top, the food was out of this world. All of the girls talked about the whole experience for the rest of our trip. I truly felt like we knew Cheryl by the end of the weekend.
