Testimonials
Jeff Jones
“We recently hired Susanne and team to cook for a family birthday party in our home (9 of us). We had an outstanding experience and I can't recommend Susanne enough to others who may be considering something similar. She arrived exactly on time with the meal supplies fresh from a farmers market. The team got to work right away and kept us updated as they adapted the previously agreed menu based on what they procured. No major changes but great touches to take advantage of what she found. The meal was absolutely delicious, among the best we've had. But more than that Susanne and team added to the family environment making the entire evening comfortable and relaxing. They made a lot of hard work look easy, including preparation, presentation and service. At the end our kitchen and dishes were left cleaner than when we started and leftovers packed in the fridge. A fantastic evening enjoyed by all of us. Susanne will be the first call the next time we consider something like this. Thank you Tiny Chef!”

“Susanne came to our home for a birthday event with 6 of our close friends. That was about 4 months ago and they still talk about what an amazing event it was. I spent about 6 weeks in coordination with Susanne, not only was she responsive and informative but provided great tips to enhance the evening. In fact, our company plans on using her for future events. She tailored the evening to our personalities and it was truly unforgettable. Her wine pairings, cooking instruction and food was absolutely phenomenal! If you ever get an opportunity to try her golden delicious apple risotto, beware, because it will change your life.”
