Highly recommend Chef Raconteur. Our family enjoyed our time to catch up before a very busy wedding week, holidays and grand-baby arrival…all while being served a very delicious surf and turf meal. Chef was personable, friendly and accommodating of our personal needs. We will definitely be doing this again!

About Food Raconteur
Chef Ashok believe in tales, especially food tales and global food tales. There’s no such thing as a perfect food, only the idea of it, then the real purpose of striving toward perfection becomes clear. To make people happy. That's what cooking is all about. But to give pleasure, you should soak yourself in it. For me, it’s the satisfaction of cooking, communicating with my ingredients, my tools and my creations. My source of pleasure in cooking is respect for the food. Respect for food is respect for life for who we are and what we do.

Ashok was absolutely amazing. He catered to our last minute wishes with such ease and professionalism. He designed a fun 5 course tasting fusion menu for 4 of us within a matter of a few days. The food was phenomenal and I’m blown away by hearing about his travels and experience. Ashok also catered to my vegetarian diet while still preparing protein for everyone else. We’re excited to book with him again!
40th anniversary dinner was outstanding. Chef was awesome with great personality.
The four course meal was beautifully executed and very tasty. Me and my Wife enjoyed the conversation with Mr. Nageswaran as well. Not only is he an EXCELLENT Chef, but he is very well rounded in so many delicious cuisines too. Lastly the desert was soooo yummy!!!! Thank you for the experience!!!!!
We had a group of 18 for a bachelorette party and chef Ashok & Rasmy took such good care of us. They tolerated our large group of rowdy gals and even managed to capture some photos for us. The food was amazing!! A 5- course meal prepared for and enjoyed at our rental home. It made eating with such a large group so easy and they even cleaned up everything before they left! Would definitely recommend for any large party looking to feed everyone at once without the hassle of having to do it all yourself.
Chef Ashok and his team were an absolute delight. The perfect touch to a girls' night in! The food was superb, and the attention to detail was amazing. Definitely will be leveraging this Chef again!
Ashok went above and beyond in meeting my family’s expectations for our Christmas dinner celebration. He was quick to respond and eager to help plan our dinner and menu, accommodating multiple food allergies. Each dish that was served was executed to perfection with much attention to detail. Everything was seasoned and cooked perfectly. The plating and presentation was elegant and eye catching. Ashok was punctual, personable and truly a pleasure to work with. We look forward to planning our next dinner and cooking class!
Ashok was amazing. We had a great time. I planned dinner for my husband and I for Valentine’s Day and Ashok made a delicious dinner. Everything was just perfect. I would definitely hire him again. If you are looking for somebody to make delicious food, here is your best choice.
Awesome evening!
Chef Ashok delivered excellent quality, presentation and personality. Along with several stories of the dish inspiration and preparation, Chef Ashok nailed all 5 courses, but the lobster bisque was exceptional and the Seared Jumbo Shrimp with red wine and shallot cream sauce may be the best seafood dish I’ve experienced (and I grew up on the coast). Fantastic experience!
The food was superb! Would highly recommend!
Overall very good experience. Communication was great. He made sure every need was meet. Thanks!
Very professional and the meal was outstanding. Everyone should experience a evening with Chef.
Chef Ashok was absolutely amazing! Every bite was more delicious than the one before. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect evening. If you are lucky enough to experience an evening with Chef Ashok I guarantee that you will not be disappointed. The food, the presentation.....Wow!!!!
This was the best experience ever. I hired this chef based on the reviews and his experience. This was for my boyfriends 40th birthday and the chef made this a night to forever remember. He was early, the food was splendid, he made us feel comfortable and he explained each dish. I will be hiring him again.
