Review of CooksOfKotor

“We have used Elaine’s services at our villa in Montenegro for several parties of guests over this year, and all of them without exception have been blown away by Elaine’s delicious food, and reliable, professional and friendly manner. We had previously tried working with several other chefs, and none of them came anywhere near in terms of quality of food and service, or value.

As well as cooking for groups of guests, Elaine has also cooked for a painting trip that I arranged and hosted at our villa, and I can testify from first-hand experience that Elaine made the process of keeping the guests well-fed and happy, as well as my job of looking after them, so much easier, and the food was fabulous! All of the guests commented on what a wonderful chef and person Elaine is, and I have no doubt that we will be working together again many times in the future. Elaine is never flustered and always friendly, and makes cooking for large parties look like child’s play, which is an amazing talent.”

Elaine is a super chef and a super person, and I will be eternally grateful to her for all she contributed to the success of our family reunion. Elaine’s stoicism in the face of electrical outages, water problems, heat wave, wildfires, latecomers to meals, and the general stress of cooking for a large crowd, was admirable.I just recreated a salad of watermelon, feta, avocado, and red union. with a few pecans thrown in ( a touch of South Carolina).Good, but Elaine’s was better.

Farfalla had a very busy schedule in both the Eastern med and the Caribbean. Elaine is an extremely proficient chef and totally unflappable! There was never a time in all our trips and deliveries where Elaine didn’t perform well, she delivered food on time all the time despite the conditions, be it a busy charter schedule or the RORC600 offshore race. Elaine’s cooking was well received, with some of our charter guests commenting that she was the best chef they’d ever had.

Elaine proved very talented at adapting to the different requests, allergies, and food preferences as absurd as they may have been! Her organising and supplying was faultless, her timing was spot on and the crew always had meals “made with love which was a daily boost to morale.

Elaine came very well recommended and once aboard it quickly became clear that she was one of the most experienced yacht Chefs I have ever worked with. Elaine is a very talented Chef, constantly able to produce a wide variety of very tasty dishes and cuisines. She is highly organised and works efficiently under all sea conditions and also when the yacht is under sail. Her meals very very much enjoyed by the owner, guests and crew alike and her galley all the while was kept spotless.
