We loved the dinner experience with Chef Hortense. All courses were well-balanced, from amuse bouche all the way to dessert. Her wine recommendations worked really well for the different courses. Our dialogue and interaction from quotation, ordering, arrival at our place and then her work was perfect. Communication was easy when we discussed food choices, allergies, exact timing. She did a great job observing our food preferences as well as on presenting each course, alternating between French and English. As we had an open kitchen, we could follow the artistic process. We remained curious about what we ate and Hortense did a great job presenting the four courses we had, how she had prepared them, cooking style, etc. We can absolutely recommend her for a dinner party.

A fabulous meal and service from Chef Hortense to celebrate my partners Birthday. From initial contact and corresponding on menu options to her arrival on the day everything went very well. The meal was served promptly with the flavours and presentation of an outstanding quality. Hortense is a very personable, pleasant and polite individual and was very accommodating to our requests. Thankfully for me her English was perfect too. I highly recommend Chef Hortense.

<p>After working alongside renowned chefs, I decided to pursue a CAP cuisine (Professional Aptitude Certificate in Cooking). Once I obtained the diploma, I set sail to cook on a yacht around the world. Upon returning to the southeast, I established myself as a private chef and caterer to share my passion for cooking and quality ingredients with others.<br></p>
