Marianne cooked dinner for 6 of us earlier this week at our house in Kent to celebrate my wife's 40th birthday. She designed a great menu for us tailored to the fact that my wife is German. Most importantly, the standard of the food was excellent. But also it was a pleasure to watch Marianne go quietly and efficiently about the food preparation (albeit seated on the other side of our kitchen). All in all, we (literally) could not rate Marianne more highly. And when you think (versus going out for dinner) that there is no minicab stress, no paying well over the odds for wine, and no babysitting, the marginal cost of dining at home is really pretty insignificant, never mind you get to choose the menu AND you don't have the annoying wait at the end of the meal to wait for the card machine to come around.

My birthday dinner for an extended family was made into absolutely perfect evening by Marianne - superb and innovative food, great service and communication. We really couldn’t have asked got more. More...

Marianne is a wonderful chef, and takes many differing dietary requirements in her stride with seemingly effortless grace and good humour. She has cooked for me many times, and each experience has been a delight ! I cannot recommend her highly enough. More...

Marianne provided an excellent meal in a large holiday "cottage" I'd rented for a certain birthday celebration. The food was great and after she'd cleared up and left we found the kitchen was much neater than when she'd arrived!
Thoroughly recommended.

The Dutch Foodie is a great find and I can not recommend Marianne and the lovely Elaine who helped serve the beautiful canapés enough. Very professional and beautiful food, really can not ask for more. Many thanks from Sian and family. More...

Marianne created a wonderful evening with fabulous food for a 50th celebration for all in attendance; the fondue and raclette was great fun and absolutely delicious. We tried to eat all the food but were defeated! I would highly recommend The Dutch Foodie. More...

"Never knowingly undercatered". It was a pleasure. Until a next time!

Marianne put on a hot and cold lunch buffet for a post-funeral reception in my home. Right from the start I felt we had found an understanding and competent chef and organizer and so it turned out to be. A large number of hors d'oeuvre, hot and cold, a soup, Dutch sausage rolls and embellished brownies had to be made up and presented. Marianne also provided the drinks service. The general opinion was that the quality of the food was excellent and we were in awe of the non-stop energy coming from the kitchen from where Marianne master-minded operations. I can thoroughly recommend the Dutch Foodie Company. More...

Marianne has been a private chef for us and our guests twice and the nights have become very popular amongst our group of friends. We came across the Dutch Foodie while looking for a change from our local restaurants without the need to drag ourselves in and out of London. Having her visit our home was an absolute pleasure and priveledge. The diversity in Marianne’s food, her never ending development of dishes and her knowledge of tastes and textures impressed us and all our guests. Thank you for making the whole process easy and being so lovely, we can’t wait to rebook! More...

The Dutch Foodie created a range of delicious and inventive desserts for our wedding, including a (surprise) rolo rocky road cake that she knew was personally suited to my sweet tooth. All our guests loved them and commented on how great they were - put it this way, by the end of the evening, there wasn't a single crumb left!! Thank you Marianne for all your hard work in putting together a great dessert table - infinitely preferable to having a wedding cake! My new husband and I definitely recommend you to anyone looking for something fun, delicious and different to the more usual, mundane wedding desserts. More...

If I could click 10 stars. I would, we have just had the most amazing experience with Marianne cooking for 11 off us in our home we had a 3 course Greek meal, to celebrate a very special birthday, the quality and service and off course the wonderful flavours were everything you could wish for.
we are so looking forward to our next meal we book, and to top everything Marianne leaves your kitchen spotless what more could you ask for 10 out off 10, and thank you once again, see you soon

Heidi
Marianne brought a fun and full lesson in baking and presentation (and food appreciation!) to my kitchen for me and my 8 year old daughter. Marianne's passion and enthusiasm was well balanced with her calm and confident manner. I felt in safe hands and enjoyed a wonderful afternoon of sheer pleasure! Thank you Marianne! More...

Thank you, Heidi. I look forward to a next opportunity to share my passion with you and your family

Marianne came to cook a private dinner for four. A highly pleasurable experience - easy and enthusiastic to communicate with. She was flexible as we built the menu, and the meal itself was sublime. Highly recommended! More...

Thanks Graham, looking forward to the next time. You were a joy to work with designing the menu and it was a pleasure to cook for such appreciative people on the night

Marianne catered my parents’ 50th anniversary family lunch. Nothing was too much trouble in getting the menu spot on to suit many different palates, and communication was very easy. The food was lovely and everyone was very pleased with how the event went. Marianne was also happy to provide a different menu for the younger members of the family and the children loved her food, particularly her amazing brownies. More...

Thank you, Kathryn. It was a delight to cook for you and your wonderful family!

Marianne was amazing! I booked her to cater a dinner for 13 guys on a stag. She was really flexible and communicative. She designed a menu to suit our group and made contact with the venue to ensure she had enough space and facilities.
On the day she organised everything and was extremely friendly.
And of course, the food was amazing. A Middle Eastern feast!
Would highly recommend booking Marianne.

Thanks Richard. It was an absolute pleasure and all you guys were a delight to cook for. Hoping to be of service again in the future.

Marianne was amazing. She kept me informed all the way through the process, answering emails and phone calls so that I wasn't left worrying about the food or her arrival. The food was amazing and all my friends and relatives were VERY impressed! I had thought that they might think I was being pretentious but I think that they were just relieved I didn't try to cook! Would highly recommend and am already planning another occasion of a dinner party which I will contact Marianne about in the future. Thank you Marianne! More...

I had never used a caterer before. Marianne created a lovely menu and all the guests really enjoyed the food of which there was lots!
The only complaint from was the kids was they wanted more brownies :-)
Would defiantly recommend Dutch Foodie.
