What clients are saying
“I've been watching Elisa prepare food for the past 10yrs, and have very much enjoyed the quality, the clever recipes, and beautiful presentations. She catered our wedding and pulled off our request for a traditional Norwegian wedding cake - beautiful and delicious. She is a delight to work with!”
Bart B.
“Elisa is a remarkable human being and a gifted chef. I have never had the pleasure of working with someone who brings such a sense of professionalism, integrity, motivation, creativity, and inspiration to the table. She cooks for our family once a week and the feelings of joy and gratitude around having enough good food in the house for everyone is precious, and a relief!
We set the menu on Sunday, sometimes sharing recipes, but she also riffs off of any suggestion or idea I share with her. She procures all the needed groceries, arrives on time, and gets right to it. Her work ethic is admirable and her presence in my kitchen is a blessing. She creates healthy delicious nutritious foods and knows how to bend traditional and non-traditional recipes to meet the diverse needs of a family. Her skill set resounds in every dish she makes and she lovingly leaves my kitchen super clean. Elisa is reliable, extremely talented, and just an overall pleasure to work with. She can do everything from meal planning to specialized dinners and large scale catering. Her food is scrumptious, clean, dynamic, flavorful, nutrient dense, and balanced. What more could I ask for.”
Heather and Greg
“Elisa's private chef services have been a significant time-saver this month. Nutritious, thoughtfully prepared meals were ready to reheat, eliminating last-minute food decisions and less-than-ideal alternatives. The convenience is matched by the consistent quality and genuine pleasure of eating well. Strongly recommended , and sincere thanks to Elisa.”
