We hired Down to Earth Cuisine for my husbands 40th birthday with friends. The whole process was seamless. Chef Tom was excellent and all of our guests gushed over how delicious each course was. He was organized, kind, and engaging. I would definitely recommend for any special occasion!

Chef Corbin and the services of Down to Earth Cuisine have been a game-changer for us. I love to cook, but my schedule just doesn't allow for it these days. We've been able to eat so incredibly well since working with this team. The food is fresh, healthy, delicious, and my life has become so much more stress free. I can't recommend David and his team enough!

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!

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.

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!
