Personal Chef for Raw-Food Meals

We celebrated my mom's 80th birthday this past weekend with an amazing meal from Down to Earth Cuisine. Chefs Tom and Dean worked magic in the kitchen to craft a meal that my mom, who has traveled and entertained extensively, called one of the best meals she has ever had. My family has some specific dietary requirements and I was a little nervous when I first contacted David, the owner, and requested not only a gluten-free meal, but a dessert made without refined sugar. He assured me that not only could he accommodate these requests but we would be more than satisfied with the outcome. He was not wrong. Not only was the entire meal gluten-free, but was modified for one diner to be vegetarian. In addition, the amazing dessert was made with honey and not refined sugar. With all of these restrictions, you might think the flavor would suffer but nothing could be further from the truth…fresh, quality ingredients win every time and the results were delicious. Chef Tom explained every course and how it was prepared, and worked with me on any questions I had. The kitchen was cleaner when Chefs Tom and Dean left than when they arrived. And David recommended some wonderful wine pairing suggestions for each course. I cannot recommend this service enough! Thank you, Down to Earth Cuisine, for helping make my mom’s 80th birthday such a special occasion!

Down to Earth Cuisine was fantastic from start to finish! David made the process easy and was excellent w/respect to helping us select menu items that fit well together. The food was interesting and delicious, and David took time to explain how he prepared each course. I highly recommend Down to Earth Cuisine!

I had a wonderful experience with Down to Earth Cuisine. Their process is very straightforward, and they are well-prepared for events with a personal chef, like my son's graduation celebration. They provided a variety of menu options and welcomed my suggestions. They brought everything needed and offered a process to rent additional items if necessary. They were very accommodating with last-minute changes. Our personal chef, Eric, was punctual and highly professional. He prepared an impressive spread, and there was plenty of food for everyone.

Such an amazing experience! We hired Chef Tom through Down to Earth Cuisine and he was great. The communication prior to the event was super helpful. Chef Tom was very nice and cooked amazing food for our whole bachelorette party. It was amazing!! Would definitely book again.

Thank you for helping by to create a very special celebration. Anne-Marie was a delight to have in our home and her cooking was sensational. All 8 of us loved the dinner from start to finish. Her timing for the pace of the service was also perfect. We are so grateful to have the memory,

We hired Down to Earth Cuisine for fresh, weekly meals made in our home. Chef Eric Nguyen is our chef located in Orange County, CA. As wonderful of a chef as he is, he’s a nice person too.What a treat it is to open our fridge and find quality and delicious meals waiting for us to heat up. Meal plans are presented weekly and each one has been creative and suited our dietary needs and tastes perfectly. Everything has been delicious! And my kitchen is left as clean as it was when Chef Eric arrived. I thoroughly recommend their services!

Absolutely love working with Down to Earth Cuisine. Delicious meals, excellent service. A huge time saver for me!

From the first phone call with Chef David the whole process was so smooth! We celebrated our sons birthday at Suncadia. It was a camp theme so we went with the buffet style meal. Chef Tom was amazing! Very prompt, easy to talk to and most of all he did an incredible job!! We had a mixture of dietary needs that he prepared wonderfully. The presentation was so nicely done as well. It was wonderful to allow everyone to relax, enjoy a delicious meal and no clean up! I would highly recommend them. Thank you both Chef David for all your help and Chef Tom for doing an outstanding job!!!

David and his phenomenal cooking was the perfect addition to our intimate wedding day. He helped us curate a PNW/Persian flair menu for our special day and we all enjoyed spending the evening with him! 10/10 would recommend for anyone looking for a private chef for their intimate wedding day 🙂
