Personal Chef Reviews

Sedona Daly-Armstrong is fantastic! We have so much enjoyed her creative and nutritious cooking – hard to believe she has been with us for nine months already. We have long forgotten what it was like to eat frozen or pre-prepared food (we both have disabilities and cooking is a lot more effort than it used to be). What's really terrific about working with Sedona is how she works with us to create a new menu every week. And at this point, we have many favorite dishes from her repertoire. The icing on the cake (so to speak and on her lemon cake, OMG) is that she leaves our kitchen absolutely spotless when she leaves. Five stars!

Our chef Erica is amazing. We couldn't be happier for lots of reasons-- it's made my life so much better and easier.. everything from entrees to side dishes is delicious and the quality-- like you'd find at a high-end restaurant. My husband and I eat very differently and I was making two separate meals every night...that's over! Proteins for me, more pastas for him..we're both happy!
It's also Erica's positive attitude and happy disposition that's so appealing. She obviously loves what she does and it shows. She's excited to go over ideas and menus, she's incredibly fast and leaves the kitchen spotless....best...now when I open the fridge it's filled with food we love to eat!

Erica has completely changed our lives for the better! It's been tough to find someone to cook as we don't get enough time in the day. Everything from the initial meet, to the regular communication, coordinating menu has been truly fantastic! But the best part is, THE FOOD IS DELICIOUS! Erica has taken our inputs very well, even cooked us traditional Indian recipes we crave. She is open to trying new things and she she tries them the first time like a pro.

She is going to be in demand so I recommend her you get her before she gets booked out!

Chef Jenny is amazing! Since I started with FTC I've been able to put more work in to my business. The food is well prepared and flavorful. Hire Friend That Cooks, its so worth it!

Katie has been fantastic! She has been professional and personable. We got along right away. She has been incredibly attentive to our likes and dislikes, checking in with me before every session to determine what worked and what didn't, collaborating and tailoring the weekly menu. And most importantly, her cooking is excellent! She uses a rainbow of vegetables every week, I love it! The FTC system is easy to navigate and totally customizable. It was totally worth the wait.

Chef Nick was awesome! He prepared and grilled for our summer cookout of 50 guests and delivered in both service and quality. Throughout the planning process, his communication was excellent and I felt very trusting of his capabilities. All my guests raved about his food. Would 100% hire him again for future events. Thanks, Nick!

We love Chef James from Friend that Cooks. The service is incredibly reasonable in cost and customized to dietary preferences (I'm a vegetarian, my husband is an omnivore). I also have a number of food allergies, and a ton of preferences around spice level.

We want to eat healthy, home-cooked meals, but my husband and I both have busy jobs, and we have a 15-month-old.

Meal prep could take hours out of your Sunday. Chef James does the planning, grocery shopping, cooking, and cleaning up and packages the meals into individual portion containers we can pop in the microwave or take to work as our lunch for the day.

We've tried various meal delivery services in the past, but none could match the unique value of Chef James' customized meals. It's like having a personal chef who caters to our specific dietary preferences and needs.

I'd recommend trying this service ASAP.

Chef Amy Cunningham has been amazing to work with. Not only is her service great, her food delicious, and her clean-up thorough, but she is a delightful person as well. We love her creative dishes that expand our kids’ palates, and we appreciate her ability to sneak extra vegetables into meals our kids love. If you have a busy schedule and want easy, healthy, delicious meals instead of fast food between school and extracurricular activities, we highly recommend hiring Chef Amy. She has been a life-changer!

Chef Sedona was incredibly accommodating for a dinner party. She was excellent to work with, timely and very professional. The menu she created was excellent and the meal was so delicious. Highly recommend her services!

I recently hired a home Chef Marcos to cook dinner meals for my family, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. The food was prepared to perfection and absolutely delicious. He even incorporated my husband’s deer meat. Not only that, but Chef Marcos was punctual, friendly, and a pleasure to have in our home. It was such a relief to have healthy, delicious meals ready to enjoy without the hassle of cooking. I highly recommend this chef to anyone looking for a convenient and delicious dining experience. Five stars all around! I look forward to see what he prepares next week!
