We had the pleasure of welcoming Elisabeth into our home as a private chef for the first time, and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish.

Her presence was subtle and calm, exactly what you hope for when inviting someone into your home, especially with family around. She blended in effortlessly, creating a relaxed atmosphere while quietly taking care of everything in the kitchen.

The food itself was excellent. Thoughtful, well-prepared, and clearly made with care. What we appreciated most was how naturally she catered to both vegetarians and non-vegetarians, without compromise on flavor or quality for either. Everyone at the table felt equally considered, and every dish stood on its own.

A warm, professional, and highly enjoyable first experience with a private chef at home. We would happily invite Elisabeth back and can wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for refined, home-based cooking that feels both special and comfortable.

Chef Elisabeth heeft via ChefMaison een fantastisch diner verzorgd en ons een heerlijke avond bezorgd! Naast het heerlijke eten is zij ook een ontzettend leuk en warm persoon om erbij te hebben. Echt een aanrader, Elisabeth; nogmaals veel dank! En tot de volgende keer.

We loved the experience with chef Elizabeth! I booked a dinner for a surprise birthday party with my friends and chef Elisabeth delivered a great experience. She was flexible, communicated quickly and was very fun to be around, she was perfect for our party. Key highlights were the ajo blanco soup and the main meal (meat dish) and a nice sharing desert experience. I highly recommend her! Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures of the meals!
