“Chef Ken created a wonderful dinner for our anniversary. Delicious food, attentive but never invasive service, and left the kitchen organized and clean. Will definitely be hiring him again!”
Tim W, West Seattle, September 1, 2019
“It has been a pleasure to have a class with Chef Ken since the beginning of my request for a very personalized class (as a birthday gift for my friend) with a very customized menu. We cooked octopus in three different ways and Chef Ken added appetizers and dessert and wine to make the whole experience as a complete dinner on top of fun and excellent class. The memories for me and my friend and the knowledge we got from his class are priceless. Thank you Chef Ken!!”

“First of all, Ken is incredibly kind and responsive. He is open to questions and is extremely flexible with putting together a menu. We had surprised my mom with a cooking class for her birthday and Ken put together a Thai menu (one of our favorites!) that fit our dietary wants and needs. He was very accommodating for allergies and was able to make helpful substitution suggestions along the way. It is obvious that Ken is a pro, but he never makes you feel inferior. He is very supportive and wants to help you learn. We definitely plan to hire Ken back in the future. He has great stories and will keep you entertained and engaged the whole time you’re with him. I can’t emphasize enough how pleased we were with his visit and his food. Such a pleasure to have worked with him and tasted such exquisite cuisine!”

“Chef Ken led a small cooking class at my parents house for my Mom’s birthday dinner. The food was outstanding, he was a great teacher, and very personable. We plan to work with him again in the future”

“An evening with Chef Ken is an absolute must-do! We had a great time learning lots of kitchen skills and plating techniques while creating a four course culinary experience that was well beyond our expectation! Ken is very professional and personable and we definitely recommend him and plan to have him back to create another wonderful evening with friends & family!”

“I give Chef Ken 5 stars! I would highly recommend him to anyone, and will definitely work with him for future events. Talk about staying calm under pressure. We had 60+ people (at our home) for a grad party so it was pretty hectic. We had decided the best thing to do would be to serve the food “in waves”. Everything on the menu was delicious. People were asking Ken for his business cards, one person said he’d name his kid after him….. even if it was a girl haha. I loved hearing many comments throughout the evening. Chef Ken’s assistant Michelle did a great job – always making sure the food was replenished and cleaned up the kitchen the best she could with so many people around. Thank you both for taking the stress out of hosting a big party. I look forward to our next event. You guys ROCK!”

“I arranged for Chef Ken to meet with my sister who is having a baby any day now. He will cook for her family a few weeks post-baby and she couldn’t be more pleased with his interactions thus far. Now for tasting his delicious cuisine!”
Marguerite G, Seattle May 7, 2016
“Chef Ken’s cooking is amazing! He provided an extraordinary Valentines meal for my wife and family. Service and food couldn’t have been any better. Definitely will use again!”
Chester M February 15.2016
“Very highly recommend Ken. Everything was from scratch and very high quality. We liked everything, but a special call-out for the roasted cauliflower risotto with crispy leeks, awesome. Then wild mushroom ragout in puff pastry–wow. Saffron poached halibut for the main course–highly recommend. Enjoyed chatting with him too.”
Dorothy, Kirkland WA, February 14.2016

Just wanted to drop a quick line thanking you for the outstanding meal that you provided for John, me and our guests on Saturday evening. It was outstanding in every way and I consider myself very lucky for having made the connection with you.
Lorraine” (Wake Forest)
This morning, I completed a glowing review on Angie’s list and would be more than happy to submit one to any site that might be helpful for you. Please let me know if any come to mind.
Again, thanks for an amazing, and extremely flavorful, evening.
“We’ve really enjoyed having you come out and cook for our company. Your delicious meals are clearly the product of not only your skills as a chef, but your thoughtful menu planning and attention to detail. With so many different dietary requirements, it was no easy task to think up something we could all share at our “family style” lunch meetings. We’ve been delighted with every meal you’ve served and really appreciate your great communication. Your spicy spin on butternut squash had us drawing straws to see who could have the leftovers!”
Elizabeth (Raleigh, North Carolina)
“The class was helpful, informative, and fun. Chef Ken even took the time to teach me how to fry an egg!”
Sophie (Chapel Hill, North Carolina)
“Just wanted to say thanks for everything on Saturday! All the food was delicious! The pulled pork was the best we ever had! Every bit of that went! Thanks again!”
Kelly (Wake Forest, North Carolina)
“The dinner was wonderful. It was everything I had hoped for and more. Everyone had a really good time. Thanks again.”
Anne (Cary, North Carolina)
“Just wanted to let you know how delicious all three of your salmon dishes were. Watching you prep and listening to your tips was fun, too. You have found an in-demand niche for which you have “mad” skills, and you actually seem to enjoy your work….always a good thing! Thanks so much.”
Joan (Cary, North Carolina)
“I have savored Ken’s culinary skills in both a professional and personal environment. One especially memorable occasion was a private lunch for eight at my home. This became a much talked about event as my guests enjoyed Chef Ken’s innovative mouth-watering delights, all produced out of a very basic, minimally equipped kitchen.”
Tracey (Queensland, Australia)
“Chef Ken recently visited my home and gave a wonderful demonstration on how to prepare Banana Fosters. His instructions were easy to follow and the resulting dessert was wonderful. Chef Ken makes cooking fun. It was a real treat having him prepare something special for us.”
Pat (Portland, Oregon)
“I have been fortunate to have Chef Ken cook for me on many occasions over the years. He has cooked for large parties and intimate affairs and I have always been amazed by his culinary masterpieces. I’m fortunate to have him as a Chef I can count on.”
Mike Altishin, President PhotoSteward.com (Laguna Beach, California / Bend, Oregon / Las Vegas, Nevada)
“I have had the pleasure of enjoying many meals supervised or prepared by Chef Ken, and I give his services the highest recommendation. During his tenure as head chef at the prestigious Tower Club in Seattle, everything from sauces to soufflés was never less than perfect. I even had the privilege of sampling a meal prepared by Chef Ken for my family-lobster Thermidor…..that dish still stands out in my mind years later….it was that fantastic.”
Jane (New Hampshire)
“Chef Ken catered my wedding over ten years ago. When I see family and friends who had attended the event, they always mention the meal Chef Ken prepared. His passion for freshness and his creativity with food is truly memorable.”
Mike (Beaverton, Oregon)
“Chef Ken cooked a dinner in my home that was just amazing. He took me to the store and we shopped for fresh ingredients. When we got back to the house he showed me how to prepare a very sophisticated dish but kept it very simple for me to understand. It was just delightful.”
