Feel the Love

 
You truly made our time in wine country so much more special and we were super happy we got to meet you and eat the wonderful food you prepared for us.  We really enjoyed getting to know you and look forward to seeing you here in Chicago, to show you a great time, and plan a pop up.

Maria has a real way with food. She can tell from talking to you what will work best for you and your guests. She makes a Shrimp Cheesecake that is filled with the flavors of the south.  She is a great person and has a million dollar smile. I guess that is why she is in such high demand. I would highly recommend having her cook for you, If you can get her.

When 15 pediatricians head to Wine Country, their goal is to de-stress and relax. What Maria and her staff did for us was beyond anything we imagined. I arrived a day early and planned a private tour of Napa with Maria. The following day, our group had platters of beautiful local food waiting for us, and dinner was being prepared by Maria and her fantastic team. We didn’t have to do anything. Trusting someone to take care of you on vacation is not always easy, but the moment I spoke with Maria, I knew I had found the perfect chef.

A group of eight men headed to a wine country house for a few days of rest and relaxation.  The house had a huge kitchen, but we had a busy schedule...  Maria was exceptional in ensuring we were not only full but given a menu of delicious food.  We provided some high level styles of preferred cuisines and she developed a delicious menu that delighted everyone’s taste buds.  To this day many of us continue following her on social media to see what creations she comes up with and look forward to a time when we can return to the area to get another delicious home-cooked, professionally prepared meal from Maria and her team.

Maria is the best! We booked her for a group of 10 in the house we rented for the weekend. We were looking for an easy stay-at-home night in Sonoma. What we got was so much more. The food was amazing and she was very accommodating. It was the most special night we had on our vacation.

MEETING MARIA AND HEARING HER STORIES WAS HEART WARMINg. THE PREPARATION OF FRESHLY CAUGHT LOUISIANA FISh, WITH ATTENTION TO OUR FAMILY’S FAVORITE FOODS during thanksgiving week, made it MAGNIFICENT.

I WAS TRASPORTED TO NEW ORLEANS WHEN I TASTED MARIA’S CUISINE. I LOVED THE “SIDE B” ASPECT OF LESSER KNOWN ETHNIC INFLUENCES LINKED TO THE FOOD IN NOLA.

JUST BECAUSE YOU’RE IN COSTA RICA, IT DOESN’T MEAN YOU CAN’T DINE “IN NEW ORLEANS”.

HAVING MARIA COME TO THE LAND OF “PURA VIDA” WAS THE BEST ANNIVERSARY PRESENT OF ALL. 4 DAYS OF FRESH, LOCAL SOURCED FOOD, WITH A NEW ORLEANS TWIST, AND A LOT OF FUN

WE LEARNED SO MUCH ABOUT CAJUN VS. CREOLE PEOPLE AND CUISINE, AND PREPARED INCREDIBLY FRESH FISH, IN THE CLASSIC FRENCH STYLE OF NEW ORLEANS COOKING. MARIA IS A BORN TEACHER WHO TAUGHT US CULINARY TECHNIQUES I WILL USE WITH ALL CUISINES.
