Personal Chef Calvin

This man is nothing short of a genius in the kitchen. The consistency of his plates is second to none. I have used him since I moved to Miami last year and everytime he cooks for me it’s something new. He convinced me to try new things and to trust his judgement on the plates and hadn’t failed me once. He is also extremely professional and has a great attitude which transfers to his cooking. His energy is contagious which makes the personal cooking experience great. Highly recommend him for any personal meals, meal preps, or if you’re trying to do something special for your significant other.

I’ve used chef Calvin twice in the past month when I’ve been in Florida — he is professional, friendly, and his food is delicious!!! The first time we had a girls night and he made a fajita spread. The second time was for my moms birthday and he made all of her favorite foods. The food was amazing and his company is great. Thanks you Calvin — can’t wait to come back to Florida for our next meal!!!

Chef Calvin arrived at my home on Mother’s Day… a gift to me from my daughter. She couldn’t have given me a better gift and I thank both my daughter for her thoughtfulness and of course, Chef Calvin for making my day so very special.
At first glance, I knew the day was going to be perfect. He’s a handsome young man, well spoken, pleasant personality with a million dollar smile that lights up the room. He immediately took charge of my kitchen (he brought all the food & ingredients with him), put on his chef top & apron & went to work.
He started with brunch, consisting of a fresh veggie omelette, bagel & lox w/​onion & tomato and fruit, presented beautifully.
He then served us a wonderful cocktail of mango green tea w/​fresh fruit & vodka.
Lunch: Shrimp salad with brie, homemade mango citrusdressing over spinach, avocado, & grilled french bread deliciously seasoned.
Dinner: perfectly done salmon over quinoa and mixed veggies.
Dessert: bread pudding with fruit & butter pecan ice cream
Not only was the food delicious, but the presentation could not have been better, all served with a beautiful smile. He puts his heart & love into his creations and it’s obvious when you dine on his food…
I’m a foodie & have eaten in fine restaurants & I must say I’m not the easiest audience, but there is nothing but great things I can say about Chef Calvin. I would highly recommend him to anyone that appreciates food prepared perfectly & loves to «dine» as apposed to «just eating»…his creations are done with alot of love & he really cares about his client’s opinion. He’d bend over backward to please you. He’s just a gem & I would use his services whenever possible.

I was in a predicament a few weeks ago. I had a crazy schedule with work, 3 closings lined up and several buyers and sellers that I was still helping, and I knew I didn’t have a chance to stop and make something to eat, and as I am trying to get in shape for season, I couldn’t afford to wreck my temple with garbage at a restaurant or slow my metabolism with doing without. I decided to try a personal chef that I was recommended to by a fellow colleague in the business.
This guy works almost exclusively on referrals, so lets just say he passed around more than an Indian peace pipe, & with good reason as the food this guy produced was incredible. He was even able to stick to my strict dietary needs. The morning he showed up on time and within 15 min had the most elaborate spread of oatmeal (vanilla or bland is what I thought too) but it was with like a caramelized banana and apple spread with a la ‘orange concoction that was so good that I found myself asking something that I never thought I would in my lifetime and that was for some more oatmeal. It was such a nice breakfast that I found myself wasting time, after snapping out of it. I preceded back to the office. 3 hours later Chef Calvin brought me back a Glass of juice, but it was displayed so nicely in my Riedel grand cru red wine glass with fruit sticking out upon placing it on the table he explained what was in it. He said «I just threw something together with things you had in the fridge» it had beats, apples, spinach, ginger and carrots. It looked so festive and tropical with a thinly sliced strawberry on the rim and a few other fruits displayed. I took my first sip and, sweet nectar of the gods it was delicious. He left me to do my work only coming back to pick up my glass 15 minutes later and ask me what time a I wanted lunch to be served, and questioned if it was okay if he set up a spread outside, as it was a lovely day. I had a few errands I had to run and do but 2:00 couldn’t roll around fast enough. I stepped into the door and a fantastic smell hit me in the face. It was the most pleasant my kitchen has ever smelled. I walked out to the patio and lunch was sitting in front of me within 15 seconds rack of lamb with a mint yogurt dill sauce and a spinach salad. Incredible, was the only way to describe it. I have never had lamb taste so good and as I ate it I almost felt refreshed. I scarfed it down and left back to my work. Dinner was the same way served when I asked and was so incredibly good I forgot what I ate, as it was only on my plate briefly. I think it was some type of fish but it almost had a steak flavor to it. Before leaving Chef Calvin cleaned up and left, but the next morning when I opened my refrigerator chef Calvin left me a very nice letter and he took the liberty to clean out my refrigerator which I am sure he did because he was at my home all day. I was very impressed with Chef Calvin’s services and professionalism, and I will be sure to book him again if I can get an appointment, the next time I need my refrigerator cleaned.
