Thank you."

"A friend and I recently hired Chef Cristian Feher to prepare a surprise Valentine's Day dinner for our husbands.  The meal was absolutely delicious.  In addition to the very tasty meal, Chef Cristian entertained us with stories about his travels and the various foods he had sampled along the way.  The evening was a hit, our husbands were happy and we all had such a good time.  I highly recommend Chef Cristian's services.  We are looking foward to planning our next event and hiring the Chef again.
 
Thank you Chef Cristian for creating a wonderful evening we will never forget!"

"Thank you very much for making our end of year team-building event a success.  The group and I had a great time learning to make sushi! Coincidentally, the next night was our department holiday party where sushi was served, so, of course, we were all critics, given that we were so much more educated on the subject. Everyone had a great time and the event required very little planning / organizing on my part.  We would certainly recommend your services to anyone."

"Chef Cristian and and his staff,Natale and Stephanie,,,helped to make my 60th Birthday Celebration the elegant dinner party that I wanted it to be.  From the moment he arrived that afternoon,,,my hosts for the evening were in awe of his masterful and aromatic creative work in the kitchen.  He is a joy to work with!"

"Chef,,,there were so many compliments on the food,,,,everything,,,,from the appetizers to the custom made Sicilian Cassata Birthday Cake,,,,was absolutely delicious! Even a last minute substitution from Osso Bucco to Ahi Tuna for one guest meal (who does not eat meat) did not shake Chef Cristian.  He created a fabulous meal for her!  I will definitely use Tampa Bay Chef Services for my next catered affair!  Thank you for making this milestone birthday  on 11-11-11 so very special."

"On Saturday 11/5, my wife and I held a dinner party for five out of town guests at our home in Redington Beach. Cristian and I had discussed the menu and times, and he arrived right on time at 6PM to start preparing. The food was amazing, appetizers were prepared and served at the perfect time, and the main course far exceeded our expectations...then dessert was the final touch to a perfect evening. Cristian was not only spot on in his preperation of the food, but his interaction with the guests created a wonderful, free flowing conversation ....not only about the food, but life experiences and travels for everyone.
 
We loved the experience, and thanks to Cristian, our guests did as well. We will certainly work with him again."

"Thank you so much for the cooking lesson. My husband and I loved it, we learned so much and the food turned out great. We're excited to try to make it again. We are already trying to decide when to have you come back out here. Thanks again."

“I surprised my husband with a sushi party for his birthday and it was the best party we have had in a very long time. Cristian did a superb job in the presentation of the sushi and selection. Everyone raved about the quality, how fresh the sushi tasted and the display was impeccable. I have to confess that my ultimate favorite was the Salmon sashimi; it was just absolutely the best! Thank you chef Cristian for an awesome sushi party!”

Mariana

"Dear Chef Cristian,  Jerry and I had a truly wonderful experience with your cooking class.  We expected it, based upon the information we received, to be quite good, but this was outstanding.  We have eaten in many gourmet restaurants over the years, and we would certainly put this experience at the top of the list."

"When I received my gift certificate from my girlfriend for a private one on one sushi cooking session for Christmas, I was ecstatic. I'm a huge sushi fan, and was excited to get a rare experience like this. I emailed Chef Cristian right away and received an email back the same day! He was very flexible with the date and time and he told me exactly what I needed to do. It was a fantastic experience with lots of laughs and sushi. I learned how to make all my favorite rolls and even some new ones I grew to love. I even learned some new knife tricks to compliment my cooking! It was a great time and I would choose Chef Cristian again for any of my cooking needs."

Travis and Amanda

"Thank you very much for a memorable evening, very well done! The aroma of your cooking still lingers in the kitchen, sign of a great time. I must confess, Jodi came up with the idea and purchased you as part of a birthday gift. Great idea! I don't know how she is going to top this next year. We may just have to have you come back again."

"We really appreciated you coming to the house to help us with many time saving tips including the correct way to hold a knife, bruising herbs, and proper onion cutting technique. You were so professional (even with our children requiring our attention). The food you prepared are things we would definitely prepare again. Thank you so much for a fun night."

"I had the pleasure of taking three cooking classes with Chef Cristian while visiting the Tampa area. He has the knowledge of a chef combined with an easy-going demeanor and a practical approach to cooking. In addition to teaching me knife skills, Chef Cristian showed me how to make Greek, Indian, and Venezuelan dishes that were delicious and easy to make."

"Thank you for helping make my birthday a memorable one.  My fiance', Nick, definitely planned a delightful surprise having you come in and cook such a fantastic meal for us.  From appetizers to dessert, everything was a  hit.  Having a personal chef in my kitchen cooking just for me....it doesn't get any better than that!  You even have an extra touch in being a great conversationalist."

"My wife and I were given the thoughtful anniversary gift of having Chef Cristian (Tampa Bay Chef Services) come to our house to prepare a meal.  Any gift of your children is special but this one was fantastic!  Not only did we learn from watching the preparation; we very much enjoyed the dinner that was made.  We even had enough for leftovers, which kind of made this the gift that kept on giving."

Brian and Yvonne

"Firstly, let me express my gratitude to you for your hard work and patience working out in the open during the party.
Secondly, your food was perfect!  The guests keep talking about the food!   Everyone got to try the apps!  I guess folks are use to running out of food, but your planning was impeccable.
I look forward to the time I will call you again."

Suzanne

"Thank you so much for the private cooking lesson.  Mike and I really enjoyed learning about food and the meal was absolutely delicious!  We look forward to using you in the future.  I am definitely going to use these recipes on Thanksgiving.  We loved it so much that we right away posted your website link on our facebook page and recommended you to everyone for all of their chef needs!  We have been telling everyone about your private cooking lesson, and how wonderful it was, and to check it out.  Thank you again so very much. We really enjoyed it."

"My family has been enjoying the services of Tampa Bay Chef Services since 2009.  Chef Cristian has been preparing weekly menus for our family, to help us figure out our new dietary requirements, which must eliminate wheat and gluten, dairy, eggs, and soy, among other foods, due to allergies and food intolerances.  He has helped us through a particularly difficult transition, without sacrificing variety and flavor.  He has been making the extra effort to teach me to cook my own meals as deliciously as he does.  We are most grateful to Chef Christian, he has made what would otherwise have been a very rough and disappointing dietary transition, into a pleasure."

"I bought my Father a gift certificate for a private cooking lesson as his Father's Day present, and he loved it!  He said it was the best present he had ever received.  Christian was an excellent teacher and was very patient.  Besides, my parents shared the left overs . . . YUM!! I would recommend him for any cooking lessons or events.  Thanks again!"


Jennifer

"I just wanted to say thank you again for the sushi lesson.  We all had an amazing time learning to make great sushi rolls. Pete thought it was a fantastic idea and had a lot of fun. We'll definitely be eating more sushi in the future!"

Holly

"Chef Cristian met and exceeded my expectations. I wanted to throw a Japanese themed party for my husband's 40th birthday with fresh sushi made in front of guests. Chef Cristian created a fabulous menu and made sushi that was amazing! My husband and guests were blown away by the food and impressed that I had hired a personal chef. The party was great success in large part due to Chef Cristian.  I would highly recommend him to any one!"

Tammy
Palm Harbor, FL



"
I am a stay at home mom who needed a break and that is what Chef Cristian has given me, as well as delicious meals that my whole family loves. Chef Cristian is professional and well skilled but also flexible and creative with his cuisine. He will tailor your menu to your desire or simply create it. He accommodates every need and is great at communicating. You will love his service. I am much more relaxed in the evenings knowing we have his dinners ready to eat. I can now enjoy my family more often. I have Chef Cristian to thank for that gift."

Abby

"We were looking for an improved way to interact with our healthcare partners in an environment that was comfortable, enjoyable and helped build camraderie. Chef Cristian's dinner and service was the answer, and the result were rave reviews."

Bob
Healthcare CEO
St. Petersburg, FL



"My  husband and I recieved a certificate for a "Couples Cooking Lesson" for Christmas and couldn't wait to cash it in.  We weren't disapointed!  Chef Cristian was very skilled, personable, and fun!  He was able to create a menu for the evening based on my rather vague explanation of the foods we enjoyed eating and it was perfect!  We had a great time learning new techniques and the food was excellent.  What's best is that we've already used the lesson we learned and made the same menu for our family, they loved it and so did we!"

Sarah

Largo, FL


"I wanted to do something special for my girlfriend for Valentines Day so I figured having our own private chef would be a fun romantic experience.  Chef Christian provided us with an experience we will never forget.  He was very personable and the food was excellent.  Can't wait to use him again!"

"I am a customer of Tampa Bay Chef Services,  Chef Cristian and I have developed a menu for me that allows for maximum lean muscle growth.  By using his services combined with an exercise program I have dropped several pounds of fat from my body."

"Wow, what a memorable evening thanks to Chef Cristian. Sometimes we all hesitate to do something different, especially for special occasions such as a 15th wedding anniversary.  But, relying only on his website, I boldly decided to give Chef Cristian a call and surprise my wife, Michelle.  I gave Chef Cristian full reign on a seafood dinner for two.  He arrived a few days later with a bounty of fresh seafood.  (So, this is how Oprah lives, I thought.)  He soon got down to business, setting the table and opening his cooler of goodies.  Being a novice cook myself, I took keen interest in what Chef Cristian was doing. Chef Cristian liked answering our questions about his cooking.  Michelle and I enjoyed watching him use our kitchen and our pots and pans (he can bring his own) to create a meal to remember. Too soon it seemed, the dinner and visit were over. We didn't have to clean a thing, and there were leftovers!  And, during the following days  I think I earned husband points as Michelle's friends complimented such a novel idea.

So, thanks Chef Cristian for a great dinner experience at a very reasonable price."

"I use Tampa Bay Chef Services because of my busy and hectic life.  I had hoped that the food would be nutritious, but did not dare expect that it would be delicious.  I am very finicky.  Chef Christian has done a wonderful job assuring healthful, nutritious meals, convenient delivery and he has satisfied a picky eater.  He did such a wonderful job that I also asked him to cater a luncheon at my office, which he did, and everyone loved the food."

"We invited Chef Cristian over to our beach house to do a sushi rolling lesson for my wife and a few of our close friends. The Chef was very skilled, has a great personality, and taught us how to make sushi. It was a great evening that our friends are still raving about! I highly recommend Chef Cristian for your next party. We will certainly be using his services again."

Michael

"Hi Christian.
You were able to impress a house full of critics. I don't know how you did it, but everyone was raving about your cooking. My mom couldn't believe how everything stayed so fresh in the fridge. Even my grandfather who eats everything plain, loved everything, the pistachio crusted chicken, the sauces. I don't know how you did it!
Thanks so much for everything."

Lisa

"I  just thought I would let you know that you have achieved the impossible - my six year old son actually asked for seconds on the fish that you made. He loved it!!!  We couldn't believe it. The food was great and we look forward to having you back next week!"
