Recent Chef reviews in St James

I contacted Samantha through Airtasker as a private chef for a surprise birthday dinner for two. Samantha provided us with a beautiful dinner which was French inspired. The serving sizes were good and the quality of the food was wonderful. Samantha was very easy to work with and really helped to make the evening special. I'd highly recommend her for any catering job.
