I hired Michael for a dinner party we had while on a girls' weekend in Scottsdale. There were 14 of us and everyone RAVED about his food. Throughout the entire process of working with Michael, he was extremely helpful, offered creative menu ideas and was very responsive. Everything he made from the amazing appetizers, to the deconstructed tiramisu was made from fresh ingredients and was delicious. He also did a great job cleaning the kitchen when he was done. If you're looking for a private chef in the Phoenix area, do yourself a favor and hire Michael, you definitely won't regret it.
