Testimonies

“We loved our experience working with Chef Ess and her team! She was extremely professional and accommodated all of the changes we wanted to make. She beyond exceeded our expectations from the food to the presentation and decor. We look forward to being able to work with her again in the future! She made our Mother’s Day so special!”

“Chef Essence is the absolute BEST hands down! If I could put 10 stars I would because that’s how good she is. I booked her for a surprise private birthday dinner for my boyfriend. She was very very professional and efficient and her food was AMAZING!! My boyfriend still talks about her till this day. She made the experience very memorable. Will definitely recommend her!”

“Essential Eats is a VIBE!! From the music to the food. She’s so sweet and patient and I just loved that. I’m pretty indecisive, so working with someone like her made this process so easy. So not only is she a chef, but she decorates as well. When I told her the colors I was going for she didn’t disappoint with her decor. The food was AMAZING!!! The salmon was cooked to perfection!! Like my goodness. Everything she sat on our plates was sooooo good. And she put personal touches on everything. She put my name on the place setting cards and she put a candle on my dessert and my friends sang happy birthday to me. And she even stayed around for about 10 mins afterwards and took our group photos! Everything was just PERFECT! So look no further and book her NOW!!”

“Chef Essence and her team were AMAZING! With only 1 weeks notice they were available and able to pull off an amazing dinner for my girlfriend. We are not from the Houston Area and were very blessed to be able to experience her work. Communication was amazing, decor was spot on and the food was probably some of the best food I’ve had in a very long time. Do not hesitate booking her, you will definitely miss out!”

"Oxtails - Stew, I had my doubt about oxtails. Essence served this as part of a holiday meal. OMG...I discovered the incredible flavors. She had the meat falling of the bone. The ingredients she put in it made me go back for seconds. Essence can cook anything.  Her food talks to you. To me, when she cooks she is saying; “Sit here and let me show you how much I love what I do, Enjoy “… She definitely cooks with love..."

"Being one who judged the quality of a meal solely on taste I was amazed to see the effort that went into the presentation. I didn't know where to begin because I didn't want to interfere with such work of art."

"Second plate please! Essence's food has always left me and my guest wanting more. Always flavorful and always creative, Essence's cooking will make even the pickiest eater happy. Her versatility and true talent for cooking shows me that there is no dish she cannot do."

"Everything was perfectly prepared; the short ribs could be cut with a fork and well flavored. The salmon was moist and encased in a prefect baked pastry while being well seasoned. The dessert which I struggle to pronounce was amazingly moist and it could have been eaten by itself, the dish also came with the perfect sauce. My wife and I had an amazing dining experience thanks to Essence White."
