“I got in touch with Chef Marie only 2 weeks before our event. She responded to my request the same day and willingly took on this last minute party. Chef Marie was easy to work with and flexible with menu choices. The staff that delivered the food were friendly, helpful and also easy to work with. The food was plentiful and I didnt have to good for several days afterwards! Thanks Chef!” -Jill Wood

Each course had its own distinct taste, which added to the dining adventure for the night. Learning new ways to enjoy healthy meals added to the pleasure and contentment of each bite.
Definitely recommend and would use Proper Palate again.”-Jerry & Stephanie Oliveira
“Chef Marie was amazing! From interviewing her, talking about dinner options, to the whole dinner experience. She is well versed in her methods and her food is A-Mazing! She does everything for you to make your experience a memorable one. I would HIGHLY recommend her and use her again! ❤️”- Teresa Fabbella

The knife you use to cut butter, we cut a juice 8oz, beautifully cut, perfectly seasoned and prepared to exactly the requested medium rare, filet. We were mind blown to say the least. I truly couldn’t give Chef Marie enough stars or write enough words in this review; to even give a glimpse of how PERFECT she made our day! From day one of planning to event day, she was OFF THE CHARTS exceeding every single expectation we had for a personal chef! She listened to us, which was more than the other few chefs we spoke with, she gave feedback and even kindly gave recommendations. She was so considerate that this was new to use and we didn’t really even have a clue about hiring a private chef. She walked us through the whole process, what to expect, when, how, what she does, etc!! We ALL were beyond blown away!! When she showed up, she was very fun and we throughly enjoyed her company; yet she was focused on prepping and cooking! This was a surprise birthday meal for a close friend of ours that has never had a chance to celebrate his birthday to do his career. This was the first time ever he was able to properly celebrate and she made it an EPIC and unforgettable birthday. We were so impressed, so thankful, so pleased, so appreciative and loved every single minute of it! We played loud music and stood for the appetizers, which she didn’t mind at all!! She fit in so well, you would’ve thought she was a close friend of ours! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY, did I say HIGHLY, recommend!!!! She will blow your mind with her cooking!!!”-Larissa Callas

She truly brought the kitchen to us. We didn’t do a thing except for enjoy each other’s company. The food was to die for - she let us know what to expect before bringing it out and it was quite the plus her healthy cooking techniques. Will definitely use her services again for another occasion! Thank you Proper Palate!” -Amanda Parker
Read More“We had enjoyed Chef Marie’s talent at other external events but this time we hosted a dinner party at our house for a special occasion. Chef worked with us to develop a delicious multi course menu - with perfectly prepared specialties like crab cakes and deconstructed bacon wrapped scallops to start. Our main was superbly decadent Beef Wellington’s that melted in your mouth. Finished with a Chocolate Mousse cake that was so yummy even though we were stuffed we “can’t believe we ate the whole thing”. Looking forward to our next event with Chef Marie!!!”- Sean Andersen
