We run a VRBO estate rental for large family groups or corporate off-site company retreats and a variety of other large group overnight stays. We recently hired Patti as a personal chef for a large group celebrating a birthday. Patti was very thorough in her correspondence and followed up with logistics, dietary needs, menu planning, as well as supporting local vendors and cooking with seasonal fresh food. She was efficient in her invoicing and her timeliness. The day of the event she came with her chef’s hat, two assistants and served a beautiful antipasti for the guests while she prepared their dinner. We had glowing reviews from the guests about presentation and the food. She also left the site completely cleaned and spotless so the guests had a clean kitchen in the morning for their breakfast preparation. I would highly recommend Patti as a personal chef or caterer.

I’d highly recommend Patti. She recently cooked a wonderful dinner for our large(14 guests) dinner party that had our friends raving about the food. She also prepared a very tasty appetizer platter for us to nosh on while she cooked, as we had just returned from a day of wine tasting. Patti was very friendly and pleasant to work with throughout the process; she was clear in her communications, very responsive to all of my questions, helpful in suggesting possible menus that would be seasonally appropriate, and accommodating to vegan/vegetarian/pescatarian requests. She even met with the owner of the house we rented prior to our event, in order to ensure that everything would be just right. And she and her assistants cleaned up everything as well before they left, leaving the kitchen spotless. I also liked that she supports local vendors, and helped direct me to a local patisserie for our dessert needs. Again, highly recommended!

I found Caper’s & Co. on Unilocal,called Patti on Wednesday, and she was able to whip up a delicious, healthy, and beautiful meal for 17 woman at a house we rented on VRBO. Patti came completely prepared, bringing everything she needed that wasn’t listed on the VRBO site, along with an additional worker(Lauren) to help her. Both Patti and Lauren were lovely — friendly and helpful. But best of all, I could just relax and enjoy the party! Everyone LOVED the food — and were so happy to just sit on the deck overlooking the river, all while enjoying exceptional fine dining fare! AND Patti took care of all the clean up — even mopped the floor! I HIGHLY recommend you hire Patti for your event in the Marin/Sonoma area!
