Chef Hida was a gem. She was very responsive as we planned my daughter’s 40th birthday dinner. Food was abundant and delicious. Chef Hida was quiet but totally professional She was a little late and took some extra time prepping as her assistant was out sick but it didn’t matter to us I’d hire her again in a heartbeat. Turns out she and my daughter share a birthday so it was wonderful for her to work so hard on her special day.

Chef Hida was prompt, prepared and professional. She was reserved but extremely sweet and her food was delicious - particularly the appetizers and the arugula, citrus, and beet salad.
We had such a remarkable night with Chef Hida and her sou chef and highly recommend her for your next special evening/event. The food was remarkable and the atmosphere was so lovely. Chef Hida set a beautiful table scape to top it off! We couldn’t have asked for a better evening. Thank you!
I recently booked a private chef for my girlfriend’s birthday dinner, and I can honestly say it was one of the most memorable and flawless experiences we’ve ever had. From start to finish, everything was executed with incredible attention to detail and professionalism. The food was outstanding—each course felt like it belonged in a five-star restaurant. The flavors were perfectly balanced, the presentation was stunning, and every dish was tailored to our preferences. You could really tell how much thought and passion went into the menu. What truly elevated the evening was the ambiance. The chef didn’t just cook; they transformed our space into a beautiful, intimate dining setting. The decorations were elegant and tasteful—candlelight, florals, and table settings that made it feel like we were in a romantic, exclusive venue. It completely surprised my girlfriend and set the perfect tone for the night. On top of that, the chef was warm, professional, and incredibly organized. They arrived on time, handled everything smoothly, and left the kitchen spotless afterward. We didn’t have to lift a finger. If you’re looking to plan something truly special, I can’t recommend this experience enough. It was the perfect way to celebrate someone I love, and something we’ll both remember for a long time. Thank you Chef!!
What a fabulous chef. She’s professional, punctual, and her food was better than any place we could have eaten out. Worth every penny. My family can not stop talking about our meal. There was plenty left over for a second meal. ( we were so full)
Chef Hida truly exceeded all of our expectations! We went to Big Bear for the weekend to celebrate my sister’s birthday, and I thought the perfect way to end the weekend would be by hiring a chef to cook for us. From the very start, Chef Hida was incredibly attentive and responsive. What really stood out to me was that she took the time to personally call me after receiving my inquiry, answering all of my questions. It was such a personal touch that set her apart from anyone else! Now, the food… WOW. It was the best meal I’ve ever had. The food was absolutely incredible, and her customer service was exceptional. Chef Hida and her sous chef made sure the night was extra special, even providing birthday champagne glasses for us to celebrate. I only wish I lived closer so I could continue booking her. I can’t recommend her services enough. Thank you, Chef Hida, for an unforgettable experience! Wish I could rate more than 5 stars.
Chef Hilda recently cooked for me when I hosted a dinner party of six her food was simply amazing. My guests and I raved about her flavor profiles and how she was able to deliver such incredible flavors. One of the best things about her is her willingness to collaborate with you on the menu you may have in mind. Many of the other chefs I contacted did not see as willing to change their set menus. From top to bottom, beginning from the appetizer, to the soup, to the salad, to the main course, to the dessert , it was undoubtably one of the best meals I’ve had anywhere! She is prompt. She is professional, and she is an amazing chef; hire her if she is available, she delivered an amazing menu at an incredible value, she will be my first choice if I needed Chef services again!
Each item was very tasty and presentation was beautiful! Chef Hida made our night special and delicious and was very friendly and professional.
Chef Hida was fantastic to work with. She worked with my group and I to make our budget work, allowed me to have input on the menu, and catered to dietary restrictions. She was very kind and kept in touch with me ahead of our event which I greatly appreciated. Chef Hida and her staff showed up right on time and prepared a delicious meal for my friends and I. They also did a full cleanup in the kitchen and left it spotless which was appreciated as well. Overall, I would recommend using Chef Hida 100%. When I return to the Palm Springs area, she will definitely be getting another call from me.
Love Chef Hilda.
