Brownstown"I used to make a decent...just decent pot roast but I will never attempt it again! I am absolutely blown away by Pot Roast with Vegetables, Boiled Red Potatoes with Parsley! I'm still drooling thinking about it! I would've eaten seconds, thirds, and fourths. And that's gluten-free!??? I cannot wait to try the rest of these meals this week..."
Pamela Santangelo
Oakland Township"Liz and Dan: Wow! That's really all I can say. Even in these crazy times, we somehow found a way to make Jess' 40th birthday magical and memorable. You all had a lot to do with that. I can't thank you enough for all you did - the food was truly incredible and perfectly planned. We really enjoyed working with you and we hope to get the chance to do it again soon."
Brian Tobin
West Bloomfield"Exceptional! Everything about our experience was quite exceptional and far exceeded our expectations. My husband is a perfectionist and he couldn't say enough about what a tremendous help Liz was in helping him plan the perfect menu to surprise me. She added special touches like menu cards to take it to the next level. She was wonderful. When I arrived home to find Dan in the kitchen chatting with my husband and cooking away I was very excited and looking forward to a delicious meal. The meal wasn't just delicious it was far and away beyond my highest expectations. Every bite was perfection. We have dined at Michelin star restaurants and many 5 star restaurants. The meal Dan prepared for us was the best meal I have ever had. The amazing thing, aside from the quality and flavor of the food, was that he cooked it all while talking away with us. He was so much fun and he made us feel very special, including our fur baby Piper. We haven't stopped talking about what an amazing experience this was and we can't wait to do it again. I will be raving about the incredible meal and exceptional service to all of my friends, family and co-workers. I want everyone to feel the same happiness we did. Dan did the dishes and left the kitchen spotless! He is a tremendous talent!! I would give them ten stars if I could. Thank you Dan and Liz from the bottom of my heart."

From the early stages of planning through having Dan here to execute the meal, everything was beyond my expectations. Thank you so much for all you did to make my party such a great success. The food was just wonderful, and when Dan was done I found my kitchen cleaned up, as if nothing had ever happened in there! I will definitely use Wandering Gourmet for my future party planning and will highly recommend you to my friends and family. THANK YOU!"

He had such a great personality and was really fun. Our food was phenomenal. We regularly dine at 5 star restaurants and this was one of the best meals we’ve ever had. Not only did he prepare an incredible meal, he also did the dishes afterward! A great experience that I highly recommend!"

West Bloomfield"This totally has changed my life! Knowing dinner is ready and waiting is a game changer for me."
Kathy Austin
Birmingham"I can't wait until the next cook day to tell you what I think. The food is DELICIOUS! Oh my gosh. I have a couple tweaks that I am writing in the feedback sheet. None is about taste though. I'm very impressed with the flavor of everything. I'm currently eating a late lunch of the brisket and sweet potato hash. They are outstanding on their own and together - what a combination. The sweet, savory hash is a nice complement to the salty beef. My idea of really good food is when the very last bite is just as amazing as the first. And yours most definitely is. Thanks for helping me be less stressed and healthier while not having to sacrifice taste. Looking forward to all the wonderful recipes to come."
Cathy Townsend

Nancy Rost
Bloomfield Hills"The Wandering Gourmet...A Priceless Gift - I don't usually try to "sell" people on things that I enjoy but I have to share this neat concept. Our neighbors were so kind in getting David and I a gift certificate to "The Wandering Gourmet".......Our gift certificate allowed us to get 20 meals so we chose a big variety of food......Each entree is beautifully labeled with directions as to how to thaw and eat. Once you meet Dan you will understand why he does so well at coming into peoples homes. He is friendly and just pretty laid back......If you are looking for a special treat or a great gift for someone, you should really check it out".
Heather Mott
Bloomfield Township"I am an old customer of yours from around 2006/2007 - you cooked for me at my apartment in Troy many times while I was caregiving for my parents. I now live in Chicago and have tried 2 personal chefs here but nobody comes close to you! Miss your services and your food sooooo much!"
Gerilyn Diffata
Troy"Ronnie and I wanted to let you both know that everything you delivered for Thanksgiving was absolutely fantastic. We really loved everything. The corn and Brussels sprouts were devoured as was the Turkey and stuffing.. This helped Ronnie out immensely and allowed her to enjoy her grandchildren and the day. There is no doubt we would recommend you to anyone and everyone.. as long as you keep a spot open for us. Put us on the agenda again for next year.. and we will also likely be calling to do a smaller private dinner at our home as well. Thanks again for everything."

Canton"Choosing to use Chef Dan to simplify our lives and provide healthy meals for our family was the best decision we have made in a long time. We were so tired of trying to come up with dinner plans in between our busy schedules that we ended up in restaurants 4-5 times per week. We are now eating better, are less stressed, AND saving money! My wife and I are kicking ourselves that we did not do this years ago. Thank you, thank you, thank you Chef Dan and company!!!!!!!!"

Everything from the food to the timing in service to the enjoyment of being in our own environment to how personable Dan is - everything! - exceeded my expectations! The menus were such a nice touch, especially you going as far as to have a custom one describing my husband's salad with croutons instead of pecans! It was so thoughtful! We will definitely keep your information in hand and in the forefront of our minds for other special occasions and/or party opportunities and we most definitely will refer Dan to anybody we know is interested!!! Thanks again!"

It was very nice for her and we really appreciate it. Thank you so much!"
Michelle McHone
Waterford"First, let me just say Thanksgiving was delicious…and Michael was thrilled with his Brussels sprouts. Thank you for making our family holiday an (easy) joy..........

We wanted to extend our compliments to both the massage therapists and Chef Dan for the wonderful evening. We were particularly impressed with the quality of the meal and professionalism. We thought the meal was on par with many of the 5 star restaurants that we have previously dined at. This experience has opened up many ideas for future dinner and party plans. Hats off to Chef Dan and the massage therapists. We will definitely recommend your services to our friends and family. See you soon..."

She reported that the dinners were delicious and beautifully prepared. The meals were a Godsend during a hectic week in which my brother-in-law was having some medical work. Since it was not possible for me to fly out from Boston to cook--you really fit the bill! If we need to do this again, you are my go-to chefs."

It produced wonderful gravy as well, prompting Fred to say, 'give me a gallon of that gravy, please!' The roasted tomato soup was great as well, and I'm glad I asked for extra for my freezer. Thanks for your care and attention to great meals -- it makes a difference!!!"
