Our them for our dinner was world travel as we had 3 couples coming to visit us for the weekend that we have been traveling the world with. Chef BB listen and delivered. She created a menu for us that celebrated past adventures to Portugal, Greece, Argentina, and our up coming trip to Norway. She created a 4 course menu that was superb. We cannot wait to have her back again someday. Thank you Chef BB for such a wonderful evening.

Cheff BB provided an amazing culinary experience for my birthday celebration! She crafted the three-course meal with foods that I would have never thought to put together--but every bite was more delicious than the next! She was extremely professional and personable. Her storytelling of MY LIFE STORY through everyone's palette mades it such a unique experience! I'd highly recommend her and The Salted Parlor!
Chef B.B. was amazing. She met with me before our event so that we could customize everything we were going to do. She created the most incredible evening for the surprise party I arranged for my wife's birthday. Our group of 8 participated in a 2.5 hour cooking class, focused on Thai cuisine. Chef B.B. supplied everything we needed. Our group then had the chance to enjoy the dinner we created. Chef B.B. stayed the whole time and cleaned it all up while we were enjoying dinner. I cannot recommend her highly enough! Thank you, Chef!
Every year around the holidays I do something with my adult daughters. This year we decided to hire a chef to help refine our baking skills. Chef BB was a great choice. She had all the skills you would want and really helped us understand the technic of baking much better. I would definitely recommend her for any group. That’s looking to have fun learning new techniques.
We had a great experience working with B.B. We developed our knife work, learned about different knives for different tasks, and how to safely use and clean them. As well, we spent time tasting and adjusting the ingredients in our dishes to make them suit our palates. Interesting to find other ways to make dishes more tasty other than using "salt" as well as ways to tone down the different flavours by using acidic compounds etc. Our Thai menu gave us ample opportunity to learn wok skills, new ways to slice and dice, and heating pans properly. Also leaving items to "cook" before stirring them was a good reminder. The five of us had an intriguing, rewarding experience enhanced by B.B.'s great experience with taste profiles, sense of humor and vast knowledge of the culinary arts. We will book this opportunity again! Thank you B.B!
We decided to take a cooking class to celebrate our first anniversary, and it was absolutely wonderful! Would highly recommend this to anybody.
My apologies for such a late review… We had the “Chef B.B. Huff Experience”, nearly a year ago, Nov 12, 2021 and my guest are STILL talking about it!!! When I tell you that this Woman has changed the way that I view “Fine Dining”, she certainly has!! Her knowledge of different food types, and her personable, yet professional demeanor was simply fantastic. I had never experienced baby carrots prepared the way that she had and everything was simply delicious!!! From appetizers to dessert, and everything in between, Chef B.B.’s cuisine was a hit for my fiancés surprised Birthday dinner!!!
Could not recommend Chef B.B. more! Everything was fantastic and she provided perfect instructions. The food turned out great. My wife and I loved every second
We had a great time with a Chef BB, can’t wait for the next time!
Cannot recommend Chef BB enough!! Food was phenomenal, she was a delightful to work with and extremely professional, warm, and fun. The food was beyond expectations, and the person touches and customization she adds to the menu made to such an incredibly special event that we won’t forget. She was so open to questions and sharing with our group, which made for an even more interactive experience. She cooked for 8 of us and every single person was blown away. Will 100% be booking her again when we have the chance.
Chef BB helped to make my husband's birthday celebration really special and unique. She really took the time to speak with me and my step daughter to develop a menu that perfectly matched my husband's likes. Her food was out of this world amazing. She used fresh ingredients and unique preparation of food. This was the most flavorful and special meals any of us had ever tasted. The smoked kale and mushrooms were not only amazing tasting, but the presentation was really special as it highlighted my husband's love of all things mystical. Lol. She is a truly an amazingly talented chef. I would give her 100 stars if I could. She has a true gift!
Chef B.B. Huff was an absolute pleasure to have. I hired her as a "Christmas Gift" for my Mom and Uncle. She was responsive, accommodating, and made the day very special for both of them. In addition to being a great Chef and teacher, my Uncle is visually impaired, and from what I was told she was great and very patient working with him! Thank you for the great experience Chef B.B. Huff!
We had B.B. come for a bachelorette party. It was an amazing experience and the food was incredible. Very impressed with her knowledge and skill as a chef. We highly recommend B.B. and Salted Parlor. She has us already thinking about having another event with her!
Chef BB is an extremely talented, sophisticated and patient instructor. She has been working with my teenage daughter and it has been amazing to see how the process is changing her skills and outlook. I highly recommend Chef BB for any application. She is amazingly professional and creates world class cuisine!
Without question, a phenomenal experience with Chef BB and her assistant John. Everything from the introduction and planning, to their clean-up and departure, was professional, thorough and the highest of quality. I asked Chef BB to facilitate a surprise dinner party for my husband's birthday. She curated a meal that really spoke to the details that I shared with her about my husband. The food was out of this world and nearly nothing was left due to its deliciousness. I can't say enough nice things about the chef (and John). I would highly recommend them for any occasion you need them!
Chef B.B. created an unforgettable evening for a special celebration! My college roommates and I gathered in Scottsdale from all over the country to have a reunion and celebrate each of us turning 70. Chef B.B. told the "story" of our long and valued friendship through the unique menu she conceived incorporating the different heritages of each of us. The food was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. The time together for us was made so much more special by the thoughtful and talented Chef B.B. Thank you so much!!
Chef BB was incredible! She was responsive, thoughtful and professional! Our team enjoyed her very much. Would highly recommend.
I reached out to Chef B.B. for a surprise dinner for my husbands birthday, and according to him, it was the best birthday he’s had! Chef BB was amazing to work with leading up to the day, very responsive and professional. On the day of, she was punctual, made an AMAZING meal for us, and included us in the process along the way. Not to mention she left our kitchen spotless. Can’t wait to have her come by again for another meal…next time we will let her pick the entire menu because we trust her that much.
Chef BB came to our house and taught my wife and I how to cook an Indian meal for our anniversary. She was so knowledgeable, organized and professional. We will definitely be doing another meal with her in the future. Thank you chef BB
I hired Chef B.B to help me organize a surprise dinner for my wife and I 10th year anniversary. She gave us the best dining experience we ever. We were still talking about it the day after. The food was super delicious and enjoyed it for lunch and dinner the following day. She customized the dinner to our needs and just make it special. She’s professional, personable, knowledgeable and just a great chef. It was just a pleasure working with her and looking forward to the next opportunity for us to do it again. Franz
