He and his assistant Marissa made me look good that's for sure. Our guests were raving about the food all night and into the next morning. But beyond the food, he was also a pro's pro - easy to work with, cordial, funny, and on time. Thank you David and Marissa for making our party epic! read less

We hired Down to Earth Cuisine for our 30-person wedding and Chef David and his team absolutely blew us away with their care, professionalism and attention to detail.Chef David was collaborative and responsive during the planning process — he had his own thought starters & menu suggestions which I appreciated, but also listened to us and created a menu that completely fit our taste.On the day of the wedding, David and his team were like extra guests in the best way — they were kind, funny, warm, professional and went truly above and beyond to make sure we had the wedding we envisioned. They even cut and plated our cake for everyone when I panicked at the last minute and decided I didn't want to haha.If you have any doubts about hiring chef David for your next event, forget them. I would hire him again in a heartbeat. The food was SO good, everyone was raving about it. I'm still thinking about this creamy homemade cheese he made for our panzenella salad. The portions were generous and the flavors were fresh and incredible.Chef David also went the extra mile and made sure to send a plate over to our photographer during every course which made her night and ours.Food 10/10Presentation 10/10Responsiveness 10/10Thoughtfulness 12/10Seriously. Stop reading this review and hire him before someone else does! 🙂 read less

And if you are lucky enough to witness his magic, he'll enliven each chop, mix, and sauté with engaging conversation. He prepared three separate meals for me--all healthful, all delicious, all attractive, and all so varied that each dish felt like a new experience. Chef David has a particularly inventive palate and can transform recipes or invent new ones with whatever culinary tidbits on hand. He gave his chicken saltimbocca an extra punch by using salami in lieu of prosciutto, topped with a delicate madeira sauce and accompanied by savory fingerling potatoes. His grilled salmon on a bed of quinoa, mushrooms, squash, and broccoli glistened beneath a delectable pan sauce whipped up in minutes. Perhaps the most creative presentation in this trio was his Mediterranean Beef Korma nestled in a yoghurt sauce and encircled by a rice mélange dotted with pistachios, pecans, dried cranberries, and feta. When I later served this dish to guests, they extoled its beauty before they began raving about each taste. Chef David is also an expert multi-tasker who tidies up as he prepares the next step. When my guests arrived, all I had to do was share David's magic and enjoy their company. read less
