Private Chef in Destin, Florida – Gourmet Home Dining for Any Occasion

"have used multiple times highly reccomend"

"Another wonderful experience with Chef!"

"I’m challenged when it comes to the computer and different platforms. The CookinGenie re..." sponded right away to walk me through.

"The platform was difficult for me to navigate and rather than being able to see all items ..." on one page, you have to scroll down. Adding items as you went was a little confusing since after selecting a single item (with more to add), it wanted me to 'check out' when I wasn't finished. Although nowhere I could see on their site, they did NOT allow me to use a discount code with my gift certificate. Ultimately, I had to call customer service to complete by phone.

"We would definitely book again. Chef Warren and his assistants were all wonderful and the..." food incredible. The evening could not have better.

"Chef Harvey was EXCELLENT! friendly- food was scrumptious - cleaned up perfectly! A tota..." lly YUMMY night. We just loved it ❤️😋❤️

"Chef Russ's Four Courses in Appalachia was an absolute delicious, thoughtful meal fro..." m beginning to end and Russ was a delight to chat with while he prepared it for us!

"Chef Jene’e was super prepared and such a warm personally. Great experience!"

"The multiple apps are confusing. "

"Chef Larry was superb! my family was floored with the quality of the dishes and we had ze..." ro leftovers. The grilled octopus was amazing. and he still managed to make incredible duck with a difficult oven at the Airbnb. Book him if you want to wow your guests!

"Cookingenie is an easy platform to manage and book private chefs. It has good search func..." tions (find a chef) and seems to handle the logistics for the chefs very well.

"Easy to navigate and use. "

"Russel showed up right on time and offered to make our dinner experience longer or short d..." epending on our preference. He shared some cooking tips while he was preparing our dinner. Most importantly the entire dinner was amazing and exceeded our expectations. He also left everything extremely clean. We would definitely book him again!

"Allison was wonderful! She arrived on time, she was polite and has a great sense of humor...." She made the evening a complete amazing experience for our anniversary 🙂

"Chef Steve and his team made a great meal for our corporate gathering. The service was exc..." ellent and food was amazing. It was so nice being able to have a more intimate gathering with a chef than at an impersonal restaurant.

"Great person. I would use him again"

"Yes, had a chef cancel the day before which was saddening but they found a replacement and..." made everything work out!

"Chef Russ was absolutely fantastic! He served our small wedding dinner for 10 adults and 2..." kids and all of the food was amazing. The rental home we were staying at had problems with the oven and stove and Chef Russ still knocked it out of the park. We would reccomend him to anyone looking for a chef experience. Hoping to have him cook again for us in the future!

"This was an awesome experience ! Chef Russell was friendly, funny, and made great food. He..." was flexible even though our cabin had some unique appliances. You can really tell that what he does is an art and a science, and he was just an all-around uplifting guy. We had good conversation, he was well-prepared, and we ended the night feeling full and smiling. Would recommend him to anyone and hope we can do it again!

"For the money spent, we were expecting a much better experience. Toinette was a charming l..." ady, just didn't deliver last night.
