I was fortunate to attend this experience as part of an Airbnb employee promotion. We hired Chef Amanda for a family style meal at our Airbnb in Vancouver. We had a mix of palates across five adults and three kids, ages 8-12. Amanda accommodated everyone, with an incredible array of dishes from summer tomatoes and burrata, to cacio e pepe risotto, baked salmon, grilled hanger steak, Brussels sprouts, broccolini, and a delicious olive oil cake for dessert. She arrived right on time, and prepped everything in an hour. There was something for everyone, and throughout the meal Amanda was a fantastic host. She explained her origins as a chef, the way she prepared the meal, and even gave us great recommendations for things to do around Vancouver. The next day, she sent us the recipe for the olive oil cake we want to make at home! There were lots of leftovers, which we’ll enjoy for at least two days after the wonderful meal!

Not only was the food great, Amanda was great. She showed up on time and totally prepared and was very easy going and easy to talk to. She kept to herself as she prepped the meal but was very approachable and happy to engage and answer the many questions our group had along the way.

The food was nicely balanced and diverse with fresh ingredients perfectly prepared - nothing too salty or sweet or under- or over-cooked right down to the dessert.

5 stars all around.
