We hired Chef Valerie for a private dining experience during our family trip to Orlando, and from start to finish, she was phenomenal. From the first call, her professionalism and warmth made planning effortless, and when she arrived at our vacation rental, we knew we were in great hands. The food was nothing short of spectacular—every dish was beautifully crafted and full of flavor, rivaling the best fine dining experiences.
