Personal Chef Reviews

Chef Nick has been an absolute game changer for our family. He prepares meals for our family of five that are both highly nutritious and delicious. Just as important, his service saves two working parents with three school-aged kids a massive amount of time. With our evenings packed full of sports and activities, Chef Nick gives us the precious time we need to handle pickups, drop-offs, games, and shows—all without having to resort to fast food or frozen meals or really late meals. When we first signed up, I was worried because we couldn’t hand-pick our chef. Friends That Cook assured me we would be happy. I honestly scoffed at the time, but I am pleased to say they were absolutely right! Not only is Chef Nick a fantastic cook, but his customer service is also exceptional. He consistently anticipates our needs, and his attention to detail is always impressive. He is incredibly kind and personable, and we are so glad we started this journey with him. We have been lucky enough to have Chef Nick for over a year and a half now, and we couldn’t be happier!

Tess is awesome and makes THE BEST buckeyes!

The Friend That Cooks service is a game-changer, and Chef Nick Young has been a godsend for our family. With kids in multiple sports and activities, work travel, and schedules constantly in flux, we had been finding ourselves facing constant frustration and exhaustion even trying to get food on the table, much less aligning schedules to be able to eat as a family. Now with Nick, whenever we get home from our nightly activities, all we have to do is quickly warm up his delicious meals and we can all eat -- stress-free, quickly, and as a family. And the food is always so healthy and delicious. Nick integrated seamlessly into our home, always taking any requests we have for meals, being willing to pick up groceries we might be in last-minute need of, and constantly warm, friendly, and professional. Very very grateful!

Chef Nick has been an absolute lifesaver and a total game changer for our family! The meals are delicious, and it’s rare to find food that my husband, our kids, and I all genuinely love. Best of all, we never have to stress about what’s for dinner anymore. Chef Nick has made our busy weeks so much easier, we couldn’t recommend him more highly!

Chef Nick is the absolute best! We absolutely love having him come cook for us every week. He is incredibly talented, professional, and such a pleasure to have in our home. The food is always fantastic and Mondays have become our favorite day of the week because we know he’s coming! Thank you for everything Nick!

Chef Louis is excellent! We have enjoyed many delicious dishes, and the convenience of having them prepared in our own home is great. Would highly recommend!

Louis has been a fantastic addition to our weekly routine, coming to our home to prepare absolutely delicious meals while working quickly and efficiently. He does a wonderful job cleaning up afterward, leaving our kitchen spotless every single time. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for amazing food and a stress-free dining experience

He handles the massive mess of meal prepping with ease, leaving our kitchen spotless and pristine every single week. Louis gives us back our valuable time with zero stress.

Chef Louis has been preparing meals for me for the past three years, and he has made my life so much easier. He takes care of everything from grocery shopping to preparing meals for the entire week. It’s one less thing I have to think about or make time for.

What I appreciate most is the time he has given back to me. Instead of spending hours shopping, cooking, and cleaning up, I can spend that time with family or doing things I enjoy. Louis is dependable, easy to work with, and a great chef. I highly recommend him!

Chef Louis immediately created family time and margin for us. We are two extremely busy professionals with one child at home and many other commitments. We love good food and love to cook but rarely have the time during the week. Having great food ready to go has been a game changer. We highly recommend this service.
