White Apron Personal Chef

I had the pleasure of taking a cooking class with Brigitte and was SO Happy I did! Brigitte has many years of experience and this really comes out in her cooking classes! She was so knowledgable and passionate about teaching, sharing, and food and this really made the experience for me. I would highly recommend her cooking classes!

I love these guys. They cook most of the food we eat — its fast, affordable, health, and tasty. Basically we don’t have to worry about cooking anymore!

We’ve had Brigitte cook for us for years, doing weekly meals and dinner parties. Her cooking is outstanding, extremely tasty and healthy. She caters to all our dietary requests, and is very professional. I would recommend her to anyone!

We’ve had the pleasure of experiencing Brigitte’s personal chef services and would recommend her to anyone. She creates spectacularly good food that is unfussy, deeply flavorful, satisfying and plentiful. Brigitte is committed to fresh, whole, organic and unprocessed ingredients, and that comes through in the soulfulness of the food. And you will not be left hungry because her dishes don’t skimp on rich, filling ingredients, despite the emphasis on nutrition. :)
Another element that warrants a great rating is that Brigitte is super professional and reliable. She arrives on time with all the ingredients she needs. She’s engaging and great to talk to, and she gets down to business quickly, calmly churning out a bunch of amazing food in a remarkably compact amount of time. And then she cleans everything up before she leaves; it’s like getting a visit from the food fairy!

Brigitte was fantastic! She’s not only an absolutely amazing chef (some of the best food we’ve ever eaten!) but she customized the menu exactly based on food we liked. In addition to all that, she was prompt, efficient, clean, and super nice. I wholeheartedly recommend Brigitte if you want a beautifully made meal that’s delicious. Thank you Brigitte!

White Apron has been cooking for us for a while now and we have been very happy. Both with the food which has been nothing short of delicious, and the fresh organic ingredients that she she uses. Her choice of dishes have been nice mix of comfortingly familiar and exotically varied. My wife and I definitely recommend her services to anyone looking for a personal chef.

Brigitte is an amazing chef! You will love her food.
She has been a personal chef for my family since early 2008, and we have been so happy. Our household includes me and my spouse as well as our four (yes, 4!) children, and it is very busy. Brigitte comes one time per week, spends several hours, and prepares enough food to last us the entire week. Her food is always fresh, organic and healthy. We have her create mainly entrees, but she also makes sides, salads or soups each week. After cooking, she puts the food in storage containers, sticks them in the fridge and lets me know how to re-​heat them. Oh, most importantly, before she leaves, she cleans the entire kitchen and puts everything back in it’s place. Wow!
Brigitte is also a very versatile chef. I am a vegetarian, so I have her make mainly vegetarian dishes, which are awesome! However, when we have family visiting she makes meat dishes which they rave about, as well. She sometimes cooks very elegant, adult fare for our dinner parties. At other times, we have her make more family friendly meals. My children love her food and eat it for dinner every evening. That is to say, we don’t feed them chicken nuggets while we eat what Brigitte cooked. No, we ALL eat together the wonderful, healthy, tasty dishes she has prepared.
She is also very flexible. She will cook what I ask her to cook or she will suggest a broad range of items and allow me to choose or she will just decide herself what to make that week. It just depends on what works for me at the time. Additionally she takes feedback beautifully. She truly wants to make things that we enjoy, so she asks for our preferences, asks what we liked (or didn’t), and modifies accordingly.
Hmmmm… what else? Did I mention that her food is fantastic?!

Brigitte cooked for my husband’s 40^th birthday party, and she was absolutely first rate. We hosted 12 people for dinner and she provided delicious and beautiful appetizers, a full dinner and lovely dessert. She knows how to shop for, prepare and present the freshest ingredients, purchases organic options whenever possible, and is absolutely delightful to have around. We will definitely work with her again.

My other half does not eat anything except spaghetti with marinara and mac and cheese. We hired Bridgette to make us weight loss meals so that we could see the results of our personal training more rapidly. I was sure that there was going to be a lot of bitching and whining about low carbs and the number of veggies contained in the food. After she cooked everything in our kitchen in just a few hours (and rented a car to come out to the east bay) and cleaned up my kitchen (spotless) I was thinking I was going to have to eat all the food given my picky partner but BOY was I wrong. We both LOVE LOVE LOVE Bridgette’s food. It is healthy and hearty. She made us portions and I was afraid I was going to have the «diet» hunger I always have when I cook low cal for myself but with Bridgette I am always more than satisfied by the amount of food and the weight loss.

I was recently invited to a dinner Brigitte was putting on for a friend of mine. She had recently moved to the area from New York and I was looking forward to a professionally home cooked meal.
I was certainly not disappointed.
Brigitte made a simple but well seasoned salad of fresh organic veggies and mixed herbs. This was complimented by a hearty, soul-​warming lamb curry. I was delighted by her take on the curry. The meat was fork-​tender and the spices were complex and savory but not overwhelming.
We finished up with a playful make-​your-​own sundae and relaxed with happy full bellies.
I’d have Brigitte over to cook for me any time!

I highly recommend her service and look forward to enjoying more of it.
The owner of White Apron Chef, Brigitte Theriault, is a friend of my husband’s. I have had the deep pleasure of experiencing her cooking for years. Her quiet ability to skillfully execute a dining experience with warmth and creativity has emboldened my husband and I to convince her to move from New York City to San Francisco. Her love of cooking with fresh, organic and seasonal foods has finally convinced her to bring her talents to the West coast.
I recently enjoyed a few dishes of hers that make my mouth water just reflecting on them. Her tender lamb and beef curries fuse the heartiness of French cuisine with the vibrant spices of India, leaving a feeling of health and contentment in one’s body for hours. Despite my childish annoyance with green vegetables, I relished helping after helping of her tangy broccoli soup. It even made up for the fact that I missed my chance to enjoy her sweet corn soup.
I plan to enjoy her service as a chef for years to come.
