I recently participated in a culinary team-building experience that exceeded all our expectations and proved to be both delightful and enriching. From the moment we entered the venue, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, setting the stage for fun, creativity, and collaboration.Each of our team members was engaged right from the start, encouraged by Chef Stephanie Chinchilla!Overall, this culinary team-building event was a resounding success. It offered a perfect blend of fun, learning, and teamwork, all set in a friendly and supportive environment. I would highly recommend it to any team looking to strengthen their bonds and cook up some unforgettable memories!

While in California for business, my team and I participated in one of Chef Stephanie's cooking class "battles" as a team building event. This was quite literally one of the best experiences and events that we have ever planned. Chef Stephanie and her team provided not only a fun, inviting, and delicious event - but the attention she gave to our team is worth more than 5 stars. If you are looking for a fun activity, great coaching, and good food - I 100% recommend Chef Stephanie for your next event. Can't wait to come back next year for another amazing cooking experience. Thank you so much for everything Chef Stephanie!!!

Stephanie, Al, and her entire team have given us the some of the most memorable experiences of our lives. We’ve been to her classes and experienced her personal Chef experiences on several occasions… MIND BLOWING. She was even able to curate a tasting event for my bachelor party when no other restaurant was open. It could not have been better. She is an absolute gem with an amazing eye for detail. LOVE LOVE LOVE

Ease, grace, and flexibility mixed in with superb knowledge, creativity and kindness. Chef Stephanie brings all of those elements to her events. Here's my story - I was in the middle of planning a live event with Chef when the pandemic closed the world. I came to her with a dash of desperation and she dove into her creative brain and created an incredible virtual wine tasting experience for my group. That was the beginning of countless virtual events, happy customers, increased sales, and a trusted relationship. Chef understands the balance between running her business, knowing that we are working to keep ours afloat, and just doing what's best because she's a good human being with a good heart. Thank you, Chef, for all that you've done and continue to do for the hospitality and event industry.

I've worked with Chef Stefanie on multiple corporate virtual events. She consistently produces fun and engaging experiences which is so impressive due to the temptation to multi-task we all face when we're in front of a screen. Attendees often stay on much longer than the original duration because they are genuinely having fun. Our virtual events consist of some technical content which can be dry but Chef Stefanie takes the time to understand the objectives and audience to create one cohesive experience. I really appreciate the creativity, flexibility and professionalism Chef Stefanie brings to the table!!

If I were on death row my last meal would have to be prepared by Stephanie! Is this an inappropriate thought? I’m not sure, but it’s true. Also HOT TIP: pumpkin rolls are physically to die for. I.would.die.for.them.

Always love Chef Stephanie’s creativity and energy. I am single handedly the worst cook in America and I can honestly say I regain confidence in my skills at each class I take with her. Believe me you CAN cook, with her guidance and information.

Chef Chinchilla is an absolute rockstar. We attended one of her dinner parties and I was blown away. Everything from start to finish was absolutely incredible. I can’t wait for an excuse to hire her again!

Chef Stephanie catered my baby shower and it was so perfect! From start to finish Stephanie was a pleasure to work with. She worked with me on the menu, and we came up with a great Italian theme. She made an amazing charcuterie board for 50 people, homemade meatballs, and different antipasto just to name a few. I would highly recommend Chef Stephanie for any of your events.
