Testimonials

“All-Round Delight”

I write this testimonial for Ms. Gitanjali Pande with no reservations or conditions. As background, Ms. Pande was in our employ as a personal chef for approximately 18 months until she moved from Washington, DC to New York, NY in November 2019. During her period of employment with us, Ms. Pande was unfailingly hard working, focused on pleasing us as customers, kind and absolutely trustworthy. Regarding her work ethic, Ms. Pande always cooked a wide array of exquisite dishes for us during very reasonable timeframes. Ms Pande always cleaned all kitchen equipment used and workspaces very well. As we almost always had her prepare menus, she would spend a lot of time communicating with us in advance suggesting potential dishes; once we decided on that which we wanted, she would give us detailed and easy to follow grocery shopping lists. While much of the time Ms. Pande cooked for us we were at work, on occasion one of us was home and her demeanor was nothing but positive and a pleasure to be with during these times. Finally, without hesitation, we gave Ms. Pande a key to our home and our alarm code. She came and went without incident and from our side, without the least bit of concern. I recommend Ms. Pande. Not only is she a highly skilled personal chef, she strives to please her customers and is perfectly trustworthy.

Gita Pande was my personal trainer when she lived in Maryland. I looked forward to each and every session, because Gita always came prepared and kept our sessions interesting, balanced, and fun. She is attentive to good form and adjusts exercises to your particular needs. Highly recommend!

“Love the variety of dishes“

Gita is an experienced nutrition expert, talented cook, and wonderful person. Over the last couple of months, I was delighted to have the opportunity to spend three sessions, about 2 hours each, talking and cooking with her. She’s responsive with the foods I wanted to learn to make – including kid-friendly versions – and we made a great assortment of Indian dishes. The biggest hit in my family was mattar paneer, which in now in our regular dinner rotation. We recently made Saag Paneer and Chana Masala, which were both delicious. I highly recommend her for nutritional advice, great food, and an enjoyable way to spend a couple of hours.

“Fantastic Quality”

Gitanjali Pande, or affectionately known as Ms. Gita or Chef Gita, is not only a wonderful Chef but she is a warm and pleasant individual. Just as she mixes fresh ingredients and spices to warm your stomach, her charming personality will warm your heart. Chef Gita has prepared food for my elderly mother for over a year. She prepares nutritious and organic meals with only the freshest ingredients. Chef Gita even manages to do all of this while staying within a budget that my mother can afford. We are so thankful to call her our Chef but we are even more thankful to call her our friend. Thank you Chef Gita for the opportunity to tell others what is always in our hearts. Chef Gita, YOU Rock!
