Exceptional Experience!

Chef Hayley and Chef George did an exceptional job from the start with my dinner party of 9 guests. From creating the charcuterie board to planning our dinner entrees (they gave me multiple choices to choose from for our plated dinner) down to the personalized menu cards. Every detail was carried through and I never had to worry about a thing! I could just relax with my guests.

They always promptly responded to any questions I had prior to the event.This team was all around 5 Stars and I can't wait to use them again! THANK YOU CookinGenie!! Cheers!

40th birthday dinner - nailed it!!

Thank you, Chef Bridget! You helped the night to run so smoothly. The guys all stated how tender their steaks were and how delicious everything else was - no leftovers at all. Thank you for your professionalism! Thank you also to George who helped with scheduling and flexibility with our needs.

Great experience!

We were very happy with our recent experience with Cookingenie (second time using the service)! I scheduled last minute for a grill out and was lucky that Chef Ed was available to come and grill what we requested-- a mixture of non veg and vegetarian burgers/hot dogs etc. and sides. Everything was a hit! We def plan to use the service again and I thank Sabah and George for being extremely helpful and really expediting the booking process!!

Chef Courtney gave us a 5 star experience!

Chef Courtney created delicious stuffed peppers for us. She was professional, kind and respectful. The peppers were so good and the spinach salad had a delicious homemade dressing on it. She made the whole experience exactly what I envisioned. She cleaned up the space wonderfully. Thanks Courtney!!!

We had a blast using cookingenie

We had a blast using cookingenie! We were on a friends trip to the lake and it was so fun and convenient to have a professional chef prepare dinner for the group! He even cleaned up afterwords, which was amazing. We were able to just enjoy our trip and everything was taken care of for us. Our chef was Dylan. He was very friendly and talented too! Our dinner was awesome! It’s definitely worth giving this a try. I can picture many instances where cookingenie would be a “go to” option.

Another wonderful Cooking Genie experience

This time it was genie Bridget who prepared a delicious meal for us. Her crab cakes with coleslaw and oven roasted potatoes were outstanding! Bridget is kind and personable and left our kitchen spotless. It was another wonderful cooking genie experience we loved!

Triple Chocolate Banana Bread!!

Our chef, Jessica, did all of the work and left us to just enjoy the evening with our guests. And her food was delicious! The triple chocolate banana bread earned oohs and aahs.

First Time Using CookinGenie

I used CookinGenie for the first time recently. Chef George gave my friend and I such an excellent experience. To have a freshly cooked meal made in the comfort of your home by a professional chef and then have everything left just as clean as it started was such a treat. Our entire meal was delicious and the whole process was very organized and professional. I highly recommend using CookinGenie for a special date-night occasion for yourself or as a gift to a loved one or even when you just want to treat yourself!

Cookingenie’s Chefs are Top

Cookingenie’s masterful chefs have done it again: perfection!
Francesca cooked an absolutely delightful Italian dinner for us and our guests. Every dish was wonderfully prepared and easy for us to keep warm and serve family style. The kitchen was also left impeccable.
I can’t wait to have Francesca and any of the masterful Cookingenie chefs back in my kitchen!

Our goal was to be guest at our dinner…

Our goal was to be guest at our dinner party. Chef John delivered on all accounts. From the time he arrived set up hors d’oeuvres, prepped and served dinner, clearing and cleaning up all the dishes and kitchen. Thanks John for letting us relax.

Another Home Run Experience with CookinGenie!

Last night my husband and I tried Chef La Mont for the first time and were so pleased, as we always are, with the resulting meal. He prepared a salmon dish and my husband commented it was the most perfectly prepared salmon he'd ever had. I agreed. Tonight we'll be enjoying the chicken parmesan he made and I can't wait, the aroma was amazing while he was cooking. Even more impressive with this experience is that La Mont was subbing for another chef - the recipes he prepared weren't even his own. Very impressive and we'll be sure to have him back to try some of his own signature dishes.

Overwhelming Experience of Excellence

There is not enough space to express how delighted we were with the food, the presentation, the engagement, and the experience from George Zappas through Cookin Genie. He and Bethany were awesome and over delivered against everyone's expectations.
We were facing the challenge of providing a reception for the baptism of our granddaughter for about 40 people. We knew if we did it ourselves, we would be unable to enjoy this special occasion with our friends and family, and frankly be exhausted trying to manage all the details. God provided a solution through George and Bethany and Cookin Genie.
The process for selecting the menu was simple, the communication was professional and reliable, and the execution was flawless.
Bethany and George arrived on time and with everything they needed for a memorable experience for our guests. They were extremely organized in the setup, efficient in the preparation, entertaining in conversations, and responsive to changes as they happened.
When George left that evening, you could not tell that there was a major celebration in the house with appetizers, several main courses, and dessert. The only thing that gave a clue that we had a party was the satisfied smiles on the faces of all who enjoyed the delicious food. The remaining food was packaged and stored in our refrigerator, the dishes were all clean, and the kitchen was "like new."
We are grateful for the gifts that God has given to George and Bethany and encourage everyone to give them a try - you will be amazed.

Chef Edmund made the evening special yet comfortable!

Chef Edmund was great! Food was delicious and he was super easy to have around. It was my first private chef experience and was not sure what to expect. He was personable, professional, and thorough--and my kitchen was left just as clean as he found it!

Delicious CookinGenie Experience!!!

We had the most wonderful experience with CookinGenie and our Genie, Christian! It was so simple selecting our genie on the website. We got Vegan Pad Thai and chocolate peanut butter bars and they were all OUTSTANDING. Our Genie was so friendly and left the house even cleaner than before he arrived! We highly recommend CookinGenie for your next event, just because, or a special anniversary! And we highly recommend Christian!

Jessica was so amazing! Loved the dinner she made our family and the caramel chocolate chip cookies for dessert. Not to mention, she cleaned the kitchen after... I can't rave enough about CookinGenie :)

My latest CookinGenie experience was wonderful. Overall, the company concept is ingenious. I thoroughly enjoyed sitting down to a home cooked meal that I did t have to prepare or clean up. Amazing!!
Christopher was professional and personable. He was able to talk to us about what he was preparing and answer all our many questions while still having our meal ready exactly on time. Every dish was incredibly delicious. I highly recommend CookinGenie!
