Alec cooked for our anniversary dinner and it was the most incredible home dining experience we've ever had. Every course was restaurant-quality. Our guests are still talking about the beef tartare.

We hired Chef Alec for a client dinner for 14 people. Completely seamless from start to finish — outstanding food, professional service, and the kitchen was spotless when he left. Will absolutely book again.

The pasta-making class was hands down the best team event we've ever done. Everyone participated, Alec was engaging and knowledgeable, and the meal at the end was world-class. Highly recommend.
