Testimonials

“We had a birthday dinner and were fortunate to be referred to Chef Stacy. Simply put, the food was excellent. From appetizers to the main course to dessert it was a great experience and something unique which made it that much more special.   Great alternative to an impersonal restaurant experience. Thank you again Stacy. We hope to see you again in the future.”

Testimonials

“Chef Stacy worked for us for 2 weeks in August of 2014 while we had rented a house in Coronado. Her food was amazing. We had a lot of special requests and dietary restrictions which she understood immediately. Once we explained what we wanted she got everything right without asking any further questions. I would highly recommend her. Her food was awesome. She was pleasant to deal with, she cleaned up everything after each meal, and clearly labeled all the food that she cooked. She was also great about coming up with suggested meals of all different food types. You will not be disappointed if you use her. We will use her again next time we are in the area.”

Testimonials

“I wanted to thank you for the incredible meal and service you provided to my wife and I.  Everything was amazing.  We loved how personal you made everything.  It felt like we were at a five star restaurant but in the comfort of our home.  My wife and I have eaten at some pretty amazing places but the experience we had with you was unique, amazing, and quality food with a personal touch.  We both loved how passionate you are about what you do and because of that we could see that in your service and taste it in your food.  I would recommend you to everyone.  It is a once in a lifetime experience.  Thank you again for making this one of the most memorable Valentines Days ever."

Testimonials

“My whole family was going to be in San Diego for a reunion and to celebrate a graduation.  Stacy was hired to deliver some meals and actually serve others.  She provided me with numerous menu options, but was still amenable to my modifications.  Everything was on time and wonderful.  Fresh and tasty.  My biggest complaint was that at the end of the meal there was never anything left.  Definitely someone that I would recommend.”

Testimonials

“Stacy is great! She made great food and really customized it to our needs! We hired her for our wedding and we started off with 70 people, but ended up with 90. Regardless, many of our wedding guests had rave reviews of all her food! I’d definitely use her again.
