Ronnie was such a pleasure to work with. I had LOTS of requests and he managed to handle all of them with a smile. Not only is his food fantastic, but he's just a gem and a lot of fun. Can't wait for him to come back!

So much fun. My friends and I had a cooking lesson with Ronnie as a surprise birthday for a friend, and she couldn't have been any happier with the outcome. Ronnie was super friendly and great at improvising, and the sweet potato mac 'n cheese was probably the best carb dish I've had in a long time

We planned a wonderful menu and it turned out even better than planned – a delicious butternut squash soup, followed by a beautiful hanger steak with a veggie of roasted chard, red quinoa and goat cheese – it wa

Ronnie did a fabulous job. He prepared 8 appetizers for our saki and sushi tasting and coordinated with our saki sommelier who also offered 8 saki tastings. The food was great and beautifully presented. Most of all, we all had a great time.

I booked Ronnie to cook a dinner for a surprise birthday party for 10 people two nights before the event. Although it was a little last minute, Ronnie really came through and helped made the event a success. Ronnie was extremely professional, responsive and flexible (we had to add two additional meal

Ronnie was amazing and so was the food. There were some traffic challenges in the city and he arrived late, but totally made up for the time. He was personable and easy to work with. We were both really busy during the planning and we played a lot of phone and voice mail tag, but we made it work a

I only have incredible things to say about Ronnie. My partner hired him to cook at a surprise birthday party for me and I can say, without a doubt that it is the best birthday I've ever had. Roannie had multiple calls with my partner to get a feel for what I liked (he even faked being her cousin when

Ronnie is fabulous!! He's a lot of fun to work with and his food is outstanding! We had a group that ranged in age from 5 to 45 and everyone enjoyed the food completely. Ronnie was creative with the menu, but also thoughtful given the audience - kids tried and loved the "adult" food and the adult

Chef Ronnie is exactly what you'd hope for when booking a private chef -- food is exceptional, presentation is perfect & service is precise. Best of all though, Ronnie is pleasant & easy to work with. He pulled off a 20 person high profile dinner party with 24 hours notice & totally killed it. As the

It was a casual Friday get together with friends at my apartment. Chef Ronnie's food was exquisite and delicious. The chicken coconut-milk curry was very authentic and the dessert was heavenly. He was also very amenable: I am dairy free and a few of the guests kept Kosher and he catered for everyone

Ronnie is a pleasure to work with. First, the discussion regarding the menu was rather straightforward. In that, he came up with a few options for me to select. The descriptions made the selection rather simple. I change the arrival time on him a couple of times and he still graciously agreed to the
