Testimonials

“As two working parents we found ourselves consistently eating out or ordering in due to lack of time, planning, or creativity for the weeks menu.  We decided to try a personal chef and after several interviews chose Todd for his diverse menu ideas, rave reviews, and because he’s just great. His meals are delicious, nutritious, and we’re diversifying both our palates as well as our kids.  He has never made a meal we didn’t enjoy. Above all –  the time we save not making menus for the week, shopping, food prepping, cooking, and cleaning up after is now time we spend together as a family just enjoying the food and each others company. For us that time is invaluable.  We highly recommend Todd and his services!”

“Todd has been an absolute game changer for my family. He is always on time, efficient, and neat, with everything labeled and stored in the refrigerator, and the kitchen is spotless when he leaves. His menus are creative (but not weird), nicely varied, and always delicious. He is responsive to feedback, and can be a good fit for all kinds of different tastes and dietary preferences. He comes up with the weekly menu plans, so you don’t have to spend time and energy thinking about what to have for dinner. His rates are very reasonable, and he makes the grocery money go a lot farther than I ever could. And Todd is so much better than the delivery meal box options. He can cook for bigger (or smaller) families, the prep work is all done for you, and it’s fresh, local and personalized. Having Todd cook for our family has been so worth it. He has great meal ideas, they are healthy, delicious and family friendly, and he takes care of everything from menu ideas to prep to storage to clean up. He saves me a ton of time and energy, and also money with more efficient grocery shopping and not eating out because I didn’t have time to cook. Todd has truly been a gift to our family! I would absolutely recommend him to anyone.”

“Todd prepared a beautiful birthday dinner for 16 at our lake house and was on time, organized, and cleaned up well.  Most importantly, the food was very fresh and delicious! The whitefish was caught the day he cooked it, and the salads were perfect. Our family will definitely call on him again for a special occasion while we are at the lake!”

“Todd has cooked in our home to prepare 2-3 meals/week over the summer, as well as for my extended family at our cabin during our reunion. Aside from being a wonderful cook, he is a wonderful human being. Todd is very professional, quiet,  funny, warm, interesting and sincere. He quickly became a beloved fixture in our home (we have 5 children) and was a highlight of our 25 family member family reunion for a week in July. Todd’s ability to cook large amounts of food in an efficient, highly organized manner is impressive, but his ability to keep a kitchen clean in the meantime is even more so! As a cook myself, I know how hard it is to keep the kitchen clean as you work. When Todd came to our house to cook, he left it cleaner than he found it. I have no doubt that he will treat your kitchen as if it were his own. I cannot say enough what a wonderful person Todd is, and how pleasurable it was to work with him.”

“I hosted a large holiday party at my home and Todd orchestrated the food. It was a huge success and the food tasted wonderful. So many guests complimented about the food with many inquiries as to who catered. Todd was great to work with and I am eager to host another event soon with his assistance.”

“Todd prepared an amazing meal to help complete a 70th birthday celebration weekend in Two Harbors, MN. Working with Todd was very easy – he listened to our needs, communication was timely and clear and the result was perfect. He created a menu that was a great value, appealed to adults and teenagers alike and accommodated our food allergies. Having Todd prepare our dinner allowed us to truly focus on celebrating Grandma’s birthday. We’d highly recommend Todd!”

“Chef Todd is absolutely wonderful and a hidden gem in the Northland! Todd was great to work with, giving me ideas making planning our menu not only fun but easy. He came into my home, prepared a delicious and beautiful meal for a special birthday dinner. A dozen ladies gathered around the table enjoying every morsel together from appetizers to dessert! I look forward to another opportunity to call Chef Todd! Only if you want an amazing meal should you call him.”

“Chef Todd assisted in creating a delicious meal for our small family wedding.  We had 15 adults and a few kids; there was ample food for everyone to enjoy.  The beef tenderloin was superb and everyone raved about the appetizers.  He was extremely prompt, organized, and his communication was phenomenal.  I would highly recommend him for any personal chef services and look forward to enjoying more of his cooking in the near future!
 
Thank you again for being a wonderful part of our day, it truly was a joy to have you both assist in making the day absolutely perfect.  We are so grateful!”
