“In case you are looking for help with cooking every day or on special occasions, I highly recommend the personal chef we have been using - Danielle Davenport. She provides weekly meal for families on the go, creates personalized menus for specific lifestyles, does multi-course dinner parties and caters bridal/baby showers. We have really enjoyed working with her - she is thoughtful, thorough, trustworthy and has really impacted our families ability to sit down to a meal stress free!”
—Charu C. (Hoboken, NJ)
"Danielle is a highly skilled chef with the ability to juggle family food preferences, timing, organized planning, and absolutely delicious cuisine to the table. She genuinely cares about the quality of her food and the satisfaction of her clients. Her care to detail and take-it-all-on attitude are somehow balanced with an ear to ear smile! She makes it look easy! So far, our favorites are: bolognese, Asian glazed salmon, Brussels sprouts, and her insanely delectable cheesecake. We can't wait to try more of her scrumptious, creative, and balanced meals!"

"Many thanks for the beautiful food and wonderful service for our event in January. We were hosting a bridal shower for my youngest daughter and had over sixty guests. Every person commented on how delicious the food was and how lovely it was displayed. The theme was “rustic romantic” and the serving pieces you brought helped to make a special presentation. You worked on the preparation in advance, so when you arrived early to finish cooking, everything ran smoothly. Your attention to detail and organization made it easy to have you work in my sister-in- law’s kitchen. You made just the right amount of food to please the ladies’ appetites! You are a very personable professional, warm and loving woman, who brought good food and a delightful manner to our party. We will surely use you again for future events."

"We have had the good fortune of having Danielle host several dinner parties for us. The meals she has prepared for us have received high marks from all our guests. Danielle is everything one would want in a personal chef. She is super creative, has a real passion for food, presents the dishes in a very artful manner and is very organized. In addition to all those great traits, Danielle is very upbeat and is a joy to work with. She is a real keeper and I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a personal chef!"

"I had the pleasure of meeting with Danielle when we decided to try out a new option for weeknight meals. I had heard very positive things about her from a friend and I wanted to get a taste of her delicious recipes. We ended up using Danielle for several delicious weeknight meals as well as a larger meal for a Saturday night party. She is truly a professional and is a pro in the kitchen. She can make basic healthy foods such as broccoli and carrots taste indulgent, using fresh and simple ingredients. My kids, who are very picky eaters love her food! Some of my favorites include Asian salmon, ginger garlic broccoli, Bolognese sauce and chicken marsala. Danielle is a wonderful person and a talented chef! She will not disappoint."

"Danielle created several meals for us when we were undergoing a kitchen renovation. Danielle prepared delicious meals that were easy to heat and put together. My family had healthy, well balanced options and Danielle worked with me to accommodate some specific requests. The process was smooth, the food was delicious and I secretly wished the renovation would take longer so we could keep working together!"

"I hosted a bridal shower in my home for sixty two women in January, 2017 at noon for a luncheon. Danielle arrived early fully prepared and ready to do a job….and what a job she did!!!!! I handed over the kitchen to Danielle with complete confidence and she was ready to go…she worked in the kitchen with such ease and poise. The menu was just perfect for the bridal shower…..the succulent pineapple wrapped in crispy bacon was done to perfection…the small frittata bites were so moist and delicious…perfect as appetizers. The lunch included perfectly cooked and seasoned lemon chicken, risotto with asparagus and mushrooms, which was so creamy, and the asparagus had a wonderful little crunch. Bite sized turkey meatballs, requested by the bride, were a great addition to the menu…soft, moist and very flavorful. Danielle also served savory oven roasted Brussel sprouts. A delicious fresh green tossed salad rounded out the menu. Lastly, a delicious pumpkin bread desert….heavenly!!!!! Danielle is truly a professional chef…from the food preparation to the beautiful presentation. She is extremely well prepared from beginning to end. I would highly recommend Danielle for whatever event you are planning. She has such positive energy and a pleasure to work with. Without a doubt, you will be extremely pleased, as I was."
