I contacted Samantha through Airtasker as a private chef for a surprise birthday dinner for two. Samantha provided us with a beautiful dinner which was French inspired. The serving sizes were good and the quality of the food was wonderful. Samantha was very easy to work with and really helped to make the evening special. I'd highly recommend her for any catering job.

Thank you for changing to beef as well as the German chocolate cake instead of tiramisu. Would be perfect in person all of it!

A plus for professionalism! Bert impressed and satisfied with my experience with chef Stanley. He noticed my drink option needed some TLC and he took initiative immediately to give it some freshly cut fruit to make it a proper mocktail. The food and experience of a personal chef in my going was exactly what I would expect from the event like this. Best birthday ever thanks to the chef and his helper 👨‍🍳
