With two young children and balancing a hectic schedule, working with Patrick has been a much-needed addition to our family’s weekly routine. Understanding our preferences and dietary restrictions, he builds a menu with healthy and delicious dinner options for us to choose from each week.
From purchasing groceries to navigating our kitchen and explaining meal preparation, his process is well-organized and works seamlessly within our schedule. Most importantly, our kids love Patrick’s cooking (especially the twice-baked potato). It’s been an absolute joy to work with him and we would highly recommend Patrick to other families who want high-quality meals but don’t necessarily have the time to prepare them.

My husband and I wanted to entertain a couple of friends for dinner without having to shop around, cook and bake, worry about how the whole meal would come out, and clean up afterwards. Patrick was the answer!
We first communicated by email to decide on menu choices and to schedule the visit, Patrick arrived with all the ingredients and started to get right to it all while chatting with us while he was preparing.
Our menu was:
- Chilled Cucumber Soup with Yogurt & Herbs
- Rhode Island Porgy Sicilian Style with Fennel, Pine Nuts and Olive-Caper Vinaigrette
- Braised Rabbit with Mustard & Tarragon served with Thyme Roasted Carrots & Wild Mushrooms
- Raspberry Tart
We enjoyed our evening with our friends who, like us, praised each course. Everything was most delicious and very creative. We could relax so much more than when we usually entertain, because we didn't have to interrupt our conversation to run to the stove or to serve each dish. Each course was a success! In addition, Patrick was pleasant, calm, and made it look effortless. Also, he left us with a clean kitchen. We recommend him highly, he is a real Cordon Bleu!

Patrick was creative, resourceful, and patient in leading me to the best choice for taste, texture, and presentation of a menu that included appetizers, main dishes, salads, and desserts, and that would be varied enough to satisfy the guests’ diets and preferences. He was calm, friendly, relaxed, and extremely efficient and confident.
Everything went smoothly while we transitioned from one course to the next in an orderly, and yet light-hearted, manner. Everyone enjoyed the friendly atmosphere and the outstanding food. I highly recommend Patrick for any special or even daily occasion that requires a well-organized, friendly, competent, clean, and caring cook, to make any celebration a great success.
