Chef Hannah, on very short notice, created and cooked an incredible meal for my wife's birthday. Chef Hannah was friendly and completely cleaned everything we used for dinner. Highly recommend Chef Hannah for your next event.

Researched chefs online and Hannah had what we were looking for / gluten and dairy free options. She saved my bacon when I had to change my party plans at the last minute and did our dinner party after working two events earlier in the day. She’s superwoman! Loved everything from the appetizers to the main course and dessert - and the added bonus for us is that she left our kitchen spotless. Super happy with Hannah!

JR catered a Valentine’s dinner for our family. Compared to other proposals I received, Hannah (& subsequently JR) were, by far, the most professional and capable option. JR was punctual, affable, and the food delish! We had significant dietary restrictions, yet his dishes were complimentary, not over-powered, and delectable. I had seconds of the main course and thirds of the first! Highly recommend him (& Hannah) to host any event you throw!

Chef Hannah is the BEST!! I can't stay enough about every single thing she made, it was wonderful. Chef Hannah has a food solution to every situation AND her heart is as BIG as Texas. She and her assistant Ken took our vacation from GREAT to AWESOME!!! I'll never cook on vacation now that I found Chef Hannah.

Chef Hannah was great to work with. She was responsive and the food was great. My only complaint is that we needed more bacon wrapped dates 😉 (she actually made plenty but they were SO good we ate them all up)! I would highly recommend contacting her for your catering by needs. …

What to say about Chef Hannah and her assistant Ken. They were amazing. For 5 days we had a live in chef who was friendly, responsive and fun. Chef Hannah is amazing. Her food was beyond delicious. Beautiful presentation, great taste and healthy. The Chilean Sea Bass was amazing!!! My wife needed some comfort food one afternoon and Chef Hannah made her egg custard off the cuff. Boom!!! That is Chef Hannah. If you need a Chef call Chef Hannah!!! I never want my wife to cook again on vacation!!!

Chef Hannah's food is wonderful! I have enjoyed everything that she has made for us. She pays attention to detail and to the quality of the food. She's easy to work with and is reliable. She catered a party for us last year, and our guests raved about the food. She and her team made it smooth and easy to host a dinner party for a large group. I highly recommend her services!

Chef Hannah prepared a lasagna buffet for a workshop I organized on a farm in Charlotte. She was very responsive to my email requests, and the food was delivered on time by a very helpful staff member. Needless to say, the meal was delicious (both meat and veggie options!) and I would highly recommend her!

Chef Hannah made delicious meals for our family on our vacation. We enjoyed a few homemade meals like biscuits and gravy and steak fajitas with a delicious street corn. Our family favorite was a side dish of potato salad - it really is the perfect addition to any picnic style meal. Yum!

Hannah did a in home cooking experience for 2 and it was wonderful. We were able to cook and be a part of the fun. She taught us different ways to plate for a fun and interactive portion. The dinner was absolutely amazing. Chef Hannah brought everything needed for prep and cleaned up before she left for the evening. It was a great date night!
