Debbie was amazing!! Very responsive and helpful from the first moment I reached out. She was also very accommodating for all of our needs and issues regarding non working stove and everything we needed in order to fully enjoy her cooking. There were so many options to choose from on her menu and everything we chose, was delicious. Truly a great experience and I highly recommend going with Debbie!!

Debbie was awesome from the beginning of planning this dinner to the end when she was leaving! Her food was absolutely delicious. She added her own little touches and it made it perfect! She went above and beyond to make this dinner more than what we could have ever asked for. Her knowledge and expertise was shown through her delivery, appearances, and flavors! I would 100% book Debbie again!

Debbie was very responsive when looking for a chef and had great ideas for the menu from the beginning. I was hosting a friends 40th birthday dinner. She was also very accommodating to my guest dietary needs. The food was excellent and very filling. My friends and I joked about wishing we had doggie bags for the left overs. That’s how good it was. Debbie was professional and left my kitchen just as she found it. She was a delight to work for. I would highly recommend Debbie for any occasion.

We were celebrating my mother’s 60th birthday in Arizona and trying to plan from out of town so we turned to Thumbtack and found Debbie - so grateful we did! She was incredibly responsive and helpful in finding the perfect menu for the special day. The menu was delicious and Debbie was great to interact during the planning, meal prep, and dining stages. I would absolutely recommend her for any special occasion or just for a fun new dining experience at home.

Chef Elder was incredible!! My boyfriend and I traveled to Scottsdale to celebrate his birthday and we reached out to Debbie to see if she could accommodate a private dinner at our Airbnb. She responded immediately with availability and menu options and worked with us to create the perfect dinner for two. The food was delicious (and way more than we could eat) so we got to enjoy the feast the next night as well! She was very professional and came fully prepared. Being that we were staying at an Airbnb, we didn't know what equipment would be available, but she arrived with all the necessities and was very proactive finding her way around the kitchen in search for whatever else she needed. She handled every detail from the prep work and cooking, to setting the table and lighting candles for our special occasion. Not to mention she took care of all of the cleanup afterwards! We could not have been more pleased with our experience and would absolutely recommend her for your next event! Thank you, Debbie!!

Debbie was incredible! Me and 4 friends came to Phoenix for an isolated birthday trip for my 25th. Debbie was so easy to work with, accommodating to all of my wishes and special requests. We went over a customized menu over the phone and she executed everything beautifully! She also suggested a perfect list of wine pairings and made some of the best food our group has enjoyed. I’d recommend Debbie for any event, large or small.
