Danielle H. says, “We had an incredible in-home cooking experience with Elvi and his wife. From the start, it was clear that Elvi truly cares about his craft—he took our preferences and turned them into dishes we’d never had before, each one creative, comforting, and absolutely delicious. Beyond the amazing food, the conversation was just as memorable. Elvi and his wife were an absolute delight to be around, making the whole experience feel warm and personal. Incredible food, great company, and an unbeatable price—highly recommend!”
Hannah T says, “Chef + SANs Kitchen + Catering, were STELLAR! We had a 50-person dinner party in our home that they executed flawlessly! Chef brought four servers to ensure our guests had everything they needed. They cooked everything in our home and it smelled so amazing - the food was top-tier, as requested.The menu they put together just WOWED us! We asked for an elegant, but approachable Spring Menu and she and her team just created the most beautiful spread of ideas that we ADORED. All we did was make one slight change (adding chicken to a delicious pasta dish,) and moved forward with every other item as-is.The hostess was so grateful she got to enjoy her party and guests, they cleaned up every dish and cutlery item so we woke up this morning like no huge party ever happened. Absolutely impressed with their hard working efforts, beautiful execution, and freshest of ingredients, not to mention their outstanding culinary-creativity! Just WOW. Thank you SO much for making our event a success! We look forward to working with you again in the future! HT”
Jake J. says, “We hired Chef Alisha Elenz for a Valentine’s Day dinner at home, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations!
From start to finish, everything was exceptional. Chef Alisha prepared a beautiful four-course meal (Basil Pesto Shrimp, Arugula & Apple Salad, Filet Mignon with mashed sweet potatoes and green bean almondine, and Chocolate Olive Oil Cake with raspberry coulis), and every single course was outstanding. The flavors were balanced, thoughtful, and restaurant-quality in every way.
What truly impressed us was her ability to accommodate food allergies without sacrificing quality or taste. The adjustments were seamless; you would never have known anything was modified. That level of care and skill speaks volumes about her expertise.
The presentation and table setup were absolutely beautiful and made the evening feel incredibly special. Beyond the food, Chef Alisha herself was warm, kind, and personable. She did a wonderful job interacting with our kids while she was cooking, making them feel included and comfortable in the experience.
If you’re looking for a private chef who delivers incredible food, elegant presentation, and a genuinely enjoyable atmosphere, we cannot recommend Chef Alisha Elenz highly enough. It was a perfect Valentine’s Day.”

Tina’s Comfort Food delivers an exceptional soul food experience that is both heartwarming and satisfying. From the moment you step in, the inviting atmosphere and friendly service set the stage for a memorable meal.

Matt S. says, “Nicole communicated very well, was very professional and came very prepared; brought everything we needed including the ingredients. We had a great time!”
Eric S. says, “My partner and I had a wonderful experience cooking with chef Sarah at our home. The food was amazing (we made a few Spanish dishes) but more importantly we learned a lot of techniques that will absolutely up-level our own cooking game. Would highly recommend hiring her!”
Lisa S. says, “We have had chefs on vacation & loved the experience. So we wanted to plan a dinner for a group of close friends. Chef Daniel had great communication & appreciated his prompt responses. He took the time to discuss menu & offered suggestions. He was very personable & organized. The meal was FABULOUS & was enjoyed by all. The crispy pork belly app. was a big hit! It was a great experience & we would definitely have him cook for us again. May make it an annual event!”
