More About Little Gem

  • From menu planning to eating our amazing meal, I had an excellent experience. Chef Jessica is not only a wonderful chef and creative menu planner, but she is also kind, thoughtful and attentive to detail. Our menu was seasonal, colorful and incredibly tasty.

    —Becca B.

  • This was the most incredible experience! Everything was DELICIOUS. Nothing beats having a warm 4 course meal delivered to your home perfectly packaged with no prep or clean up on our end. Wow! We can’t wait to use her talents again!

    —Kenzie F.

  • The food that Jessica prepared for us was incredible. She created a really nice atmosphere and really made the evening such a success. It can be so stressful to host but this was the best dinner party... it was so much easier and the food was right out of a restaurant. We will be using Little Gem again for certain.

    —Beatrice S.

  • Our request was not easy, vegetarian, gluten free, and traditional. She made the planning process so easy and then delivered an outstanding meal!!! I would easily recommend her for anyone’s Personal Chef needs.

    —Jim W.

  • Jessica was amazing! The food was delicious, she was courteous and just a pleasure to be around! The overall experience was wonderful. We will certainly hire her again!
