In short:
Sandra wasn't the responsive and helpful chef I was expecting. Totally opposite of what I read in these reviews, Sandra was very unresponsive which caused myself and the people I got this gift for to cancel and get a refund. At least Sandra was kind enough to give us a refund I suppose. I wouldn't recommend her unfortunately. It took over a year and a half of back and forth with her until we finally said screw it.

More details:
I got two friends of mine that were getting married this personal chef gift to use whenever they wanted. They tried calling Sandra multiple times to no avail. I tried helping out by emailing her to ask if she could get ahold of them and sent her their phone number, which she never used to call them despite claiming she would get in touch with them the next day. I had to follow up yet again two months after she said she would call them with still no luck at getting this set up.
We decided to cancel the plans and ask for a refund, which she ended up agreeing to. After informing me of it possibly taking up to 90 days, I waited. When over 90 days passed and I still hadn't received the refund I sent her an email letting her know. She then proceeded to tell me the check was in the mail. 13 days passed and I received another email from her informing me that she forgot to mail it and that she would put in in the mailbox the next day on Friday. When another 17 days passed I sent her another email asking her about the status of the refund, which she responded to a few days later saying that it "totally slipped my mind" and that she "dropped it in the mail yesterday".
All in all she was difficult to get ahold of via email or phone and I felt like once she got that deposit of $100 she didn't care much to follow through with preparing a meal. This was saddening, since I was looking forward to this for my friends and pretty happy about finding such a gift.
