Kasia S Samuels

Very nice
steak steak steak - all v nice but out of all the guests, he had the toughest bit of steak (wasn't great)
definitely will use us again

fantastic from start to finish

The Chefs were very professional and very accepting of any requests

The food was good but I didn't feel it lived up to its millechen star advertising

We had the Thai menu from Kasia Samuels and it was fantastic. Kasia was really helpful beforehand and communication was great. On the day she was lovely and friendly, the food was excellent. She left the kitchen spotless and the whole experience was totally positive.

Kasia was great. She arrived punctually and was very professional. The food was delicous and served with a good sense of timing for our group of 10. She and her assistant left the kitchen spotless and cleared everything up before they left. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her for a dinner party.

Food was great, Kasia was lovely. I have used this service four times now and Kasia has been the most outstanding chef.

Had my first chef last night. She was top class and left the kitchen spotless before she left. The food was stunning. I will be using this company again.

Kasia made us a lovely five course dinner - she arrived punctually and went about her prep and cooking very quietly. our kitchen and dining room is open plan so I had worried it would be awkward but it wasn’t at all. The steak was gorgeous and everyone loved the experience! Highly recommend!

This was a celebratory birthday meal for my husband’s 60th birthday, so I opted for the priciest tier menu.
We were agreed that the meal was tasty and enjoyable, but I felt that the main course could also have included vegetables, as with just fish, rice and a salsa it was lacking something. Having someone to prepare a meal made a lovely change.

Kasia Samuels was very friendly and efficient and cooked a delicious meal for our group of six.

If you are considering Kasia for a private dinner I can say from my direct and personal experience she is second to non. She arrived on time. Took time to prepare. Kept me informed at all times. Even asked if my guest was going to be late. She prepared a welcome drink, a delicious starter and main and desert. All were first class and with service and explanations. We didn't notice she was there. The evening flowed perfectly. She cleaned up and left like a mouse. We hardly heard to door close. She truly understands what a customer needs. I will use her again and highly recommend her to anyone

We had a really lovely meal and cannot fault the chef, Kasia, her food was amazing and served promptly with no fuss. My only criticism of La Belle Assiette would be cost, you pay an awful lot of money for the privilege of having a meal prepared in your own home, we have used private chefs before and would say that La Belle Assiette do not offer great value for money in comparison. As I say no reflection on the chef, just felt that it wasn't the fantastic experience it should have been for the money.

I chose menu from chef Kasia. I was able to make a few amendments. Kasia communicated with me via text prior to the event and was prompt on the day. She and her assistant were really nice and jovial and relaxed. They got on with what they needed to do and were very easy to get on with. The food was delicious and it did feel like a special treat on the day. I would definitely recommend having a private chef for a special event and I would also recommend chef Kasia.

Delicious food and Chef Kasia and her team could not have been more helpful to ensure a successful evening.

Kasia was professional and efficient. She turned up, cooked, cleaned up and left the kitchen as she found it. The mexican food was delicious and she managed to cater for 2 guests with awkward dietary requirements. 100% recommended.

Fantastic kaisa was very efficient and provided an excellent professional friendly service

Another seamless night of entertaining without the workload just all the enjoyment! Kasia and her assistant were brilliant - the food was delicious and everything was cleared up before we got to coffee. Highly recommended.

Kasia couldn’t of been more professional. She arrived on time and served the starter at the time agreed. The food was absolutely amazing, I couldn’t fault it at all. From start to finish I and my guests were most impressed! It was my first time with a private chef and I’m confused as to why I haven’t booked Kasia before. Can’t wait to have Kasia cook for us again.

Kasia provided us with a fantastic meal at short notice over the Easter holiday. She customised one of her signature menus for our theme, arrived exactly on time and was super efficient, even helping out serve and pour the wine. We would recommend her and would engage her again.

Thank you so much for such a tasty Mexican food you have prepared for me and my guests! We loved the food and presentation was fantastic . All my guests really had a great time and enjoyed your food so much. We definitely need to book again to taste the rest of your beautiful food

An amazing experience! Chief Kasia was absolutely fantastic -- not only was the food exquisite but the ingredients she used were fresh and delicious.

Amazing format for a dinner party. No work for the host! Chef was excellent. Food was delicious! Ten times better than being in a restaurant. Have your own booze, music, ambiance. Do no cooking or cleaning up. DREAM!

Gourmet cuisine indoors :)

Exquisite from start to end :) Kasia and her assistant arrived in a timely fashion and made themselves at home in our kitchen where they set to work and produced three stunning meals^^

We had already worked up an appetite having just finished an escape room an hour before hand. This was the perfect end to a great day :)

A delectable risotto followed by a triple cooked duck and topped of with a fantastically lavish tiramisu to end :)

All in all...nothing short of sublime ;)

Thank you ever so much for making my Mothers birthday so memorable and please let me know if apple pie makes it's way on to the menu in the future xD

We booked an evening with Kasia S Samuels and her 'Favourite Flavours' menu for my parents' birthday. The experience was very smooth from start to finish; the food was excellent and my parents were absolutely delighted with the novelty of having a professional chef come and cook for them (my mum was a bit worried that the kitchen was too small, but clearly that didn't phase Kasia)

Kasia herself was a real pleasure to work with - she responded promptly to all my messages, made a really excellent alteration to her menu to suit the vegetarian in the group and left the kitchen spotless. One particular thing I would highlight is the pride Kasia obviously took in her work - the dishes were immaculately presented and Kasia was positively beaming when she was describing the food to us while she was plating up.

I think the chefs get most of their business through word of mouth so I hope this review can convince someone on the fence to give Kasia a try because I have nothing but good things to say about her professionalism and ability as a chef. The only drawback to the evening was that it was a little pricey, but I still felt it was excellent value for money - you get far more of a personalised experience than an equivalent price meal in a conventional restaurant, and the quality of the food is much better. I would certainly do it every week if I could afford it!

Fabulous dinner from Chef Kasia
Really excellent food which everyone thoroughly enjoyed. Kasia arrived nice and early to prep, left everything spotless and tidy, and gave just the right level of service and attention. We couldn't fault it

Kasia was very nice - she arrived on time and was very clean and tidy. The menu wasn't completely to my taste though.

The evening went without a hitch. The food was phenomenal and the service was impeccable. Kasia was extremely helpful both before and during the evening and i will most certainly be booking again.

Having a private chef is a great experience. We have a young baby and it was my partner’s birthday, so it was a great way to celebrate in the comfort of our own home. It really created the sense of a special occasion while keeping it low key.
Kasia was great and the food was good and tasty, although most of the dishes were pre-prepared (but I can’t expect too much in our tiny kitchen) and it felt a little rushed. Having said that, I’ll most definitely have this experience again on another occasion, as it is super convenient, not having to wash up or trave home after dinner :) Would definitely recommend it to others too.

Absolutely fabulous evening from start to finish, the food was outstanding and the chefs were 5*. Highly recommended. Thankyou

Everything was exceptional from start to finish. Communication was great, very responsive and at no point was I left wondering what was going on or if everything was going to plan. The chef, Kasia, texted me to introduce herself so I had her number to reach out directly if necessary and texted a few days before to confirm everything was still ok. I had one person drop out and a change of some of the courses (one recommended by Kasia which I'm very glad I took!), all of which was handled exceptionally smoothly. The food was amazing, the starter was one of the best I've ever had (thanks Kasia)! Kasia was friendly, efficient and left the kitchen cleaner than when she started! All in all an exceptional experience that I will definitely repeat again in future and would definitely recommend to anyone.

Lovely girls, great food, great experience all round.

Wonderful service and meal which made for a perfect evening. The rare beef carpaccio was a triumph! Thank you both for a great time! Xx

Dinner was very tasty but could have been hotter. A couple of the men wanted larger portions. Our chefs were lovely.

Kasia was great start to finish. She arrived and took control of the kitchen making us feel very comfortable and she left it very tidy and clean. In between she prepared the most amazing food, using fresh ingredients she had either grown herself or carefully sourced. She was flexible around our timings for service and polite and friendly but not overbearing. All in a fantastic experience and I couldn't recommend Kasia enough!

Everything was great! Kasia was really friendly and I would suggest her to anyone!

I booked a private dinner with chef Kasia as a surprise for my husband's 40th birthday. Everything about the evening was perfect. Kasia was perfectly on time, professional and, most importantly, an amazing cook. Each course was perfectly flavoured and we loved hearing how she's personally selected and sourced the ingredients. And when she was done she left us with our glasses and bellies full and our kitchen was cleaner than it probably has ever been!

Kasia, our chef, was not only friendly and warm with the children, but professional, punctual and hard working, coping excellently with the idiosyncrasies of our dodgy oven and tiny kitchen! Her food was delicious, really good quality and beautifully presented. We felt truly spoilt by this relaxing and tasty experience.

The wonderful Kasia catered a small dinner party for 11 people for my husband’s 50th birthday.

We have nothing but praise for her at every step of the way.

Before the evening, she asked for David’s preferences. The evening was all about him after all. He is pescatarian, loves healthy eating and his favourite cake is cheesecake — well you need to eat cake on your birthday!

She sent us a delicious-sounding menu with three options per course, each so wonderful it was hard to choose. She also kept going with cheesecake options — from a simple strawberry cheesecake with toasted coconut and roasted nuts and cherry balsamic glaze to a roasted hazelnut, milk chocolate cheesecake with pecan/walnut biscuit base and dark salted chocolate ganache on top. David went for one made with salted caramel (with black salt and pecans) and a coconut, walnut digestive base.

On the night, she arrived bang on time (an hour and a half before our guests) with her waitress and (after a speedy cuppa) they got on with it. And I got on with enjoying getting ready for dinner in my own home with NO work! (Apart from laying the table and pouring drinks.)

She was flexible when two of our guests arrived late — nothing was too much trouble.

Dinner was fabulous. Presented on her own china, it looked restaurant-ready and tasted equally good. The starter was a super food salad made with a gazillion ingredients, including garlic-infused black rice, kale, peppers, pickled balsamic glaze, beetroot, pink Himalayan salt, sesame haloumi and pomegranates. Colourful, crunchy and pretty in equal measure.

The main course sea bass with caper lemon, red chilli sauce sat on top of crushed new potatoes and a zingy tomato, cucumber and coriander salsa with sweet, juicy mango. Another winning dish.

The finale was that cheesecake. David’s portion was served on a heart-shaped platter complete with edible flowers and candles. (I hadn’t requested those – it was entirely her idea.) He (and I) were utterly delighted.

When Kasia left, the kitchen was spotless and all we had to do was load the last wine glasses into the dishwasher. It was the hugest treat.

I eat a lot (for my living) and her food is up there with the best. Fresh, colourful, perfectly seasoned and well-balanced. I recommend her without any reservations.

Thank you Kasia for making David’s special birthday such a treat.

Very punctual and professional. Cooked a delicious meal; the scallops and lamb were fantastic. Left my kitchen cleaner than it was before. Would definitely recommend Kasia.

Amazing experience my partner really loved it as it was a b day surprise, food was amazing, chef was very friendly, punctual and helped make the day extra special

Amazing. Great food, great service.

GREAT!

Great experience. Food was delicious, and the kitchen was spotless at the end. We never lifted a finger, save to open a bottle of wine!

Kasia was very punctual, organized everything, cooked everything and served, washed up etc. It all went very well and efficiently and the pancakes were particularly appreciated

Many thanks to chef Kasia! She took away all the usual stress of a formal dinner party and treated our 8 'foodies' to a first class menu.
We started with the wild mushroom soup which was divine (and the warmed garlic and herb bread a perfect addition).
Then onto the delicious honey marinated smoked salmon which we all thought was perfectly paired with some sesame seeds and mango dressing.
Kasia then cooked the 'melt in your mouth' wagyu beef to order (by which time 2 of our guests had already asked me for details of where to find Kasia for their forthcoming dinners!)
Before desert Kasia surprised us with a pallet cleanser of organic strawberry vodka cocktails which then led onto the desert finale, of a salted caramel pecan cheesecake with a coconut and walnut base!
All in all a delightful evening with not one but two oral orgasms (The Wagyu beef and cheesecake)
We are greatly looking forward to welcoming Kasia to our next dinner party so we can experience some more of her splendid cuisine. M&Y

Chef Kasia catered for a family birthday party on one of the hottest days in the year! Despite the heat, Chef Kasia and her team were friendly and professional, delivering a fantastic evening for all the family. Very flexible on timings which worked great for us too. Kitchen was left immaculate. Thanks Chef Kasia!

Kasia was very good!

Excellent brunch, absolutely delicious. Chef Kasia was very professional and service was wonderful.

The evening went very well, Kasia took care of everything. We will definitely book again.

Kasia's cooking was amazing, there were a few items on the menu that I wasn't entirely convinced by but when the food came it was absolutely delicious! The only reason this is not 5 star is because we opted for a taster menu, and for me the experience was a bit too quick, the food came quickly and not much time to breath inbetween. However any food left over, Kasia was sure to cover it up and we gobbled it up the following day :) Overall, really enjoyed the food and would recommend Chef Kasia!!

We had a wonderful 50th birthday dinner for 22 people thanks to Kasia and her assistants. The food was excellent - beautifully presented and delicious. I have never had a more amazing looking and tasting chocolate cake!! Kasia was very friendly, professional and accommodating both before and during the event and her two assistants showed lots of initiative in greeting and serving guests. We never had to think about a thing after everyone arrived - a big change from usually trying to do it all ourselves! I would highly recommend Chef Kasia.

Kasia was awesome. Every course was delicious, generous portions, timed perfectly. 4 courses of this quality would cost a lot more in any restaurant. Many ingredients were from Kasia's own garden - I'm sure if we'd chosen any other of her menus it would have been just as good!

Kasia was great from start to finish. Happy to adjust the menu to suit guests with dietary requirements. The food was excellent, the steak one of the best steak's I, plus a number of guests, had ever eaten. Service was excellent, on time, plus everything clean and tidy at the end. Overall an excelllent experience. Thank you.

Chef Kasia contacted us before the evening to discuss any particular needs. She arrived very promptly and set about preparing the meal unobtrusively. It our wedding anniversary and we were able to prepare for the evening and enjoy a relaxing pre-drink. The meal was served promptly at the pre-arranged time with very professional style and description of the courses. The food was absolutely delicious with the steak in particular being melt-in-the-mouth tender. Over all a thoroughly delightful experience and one that will be well worth repeating. At the end of the meal the kitchen was left absolutely immaculate.

Kasia came and cooked for 18 of us to celebrate my husband's 60th. The whole process from start to finish was amazing. Her communication before the event was very good as we had varying dietary requirements. The food itself was sensational. One guest commented that it was the best steak he had ever had. Our dining table is in our kitchen but Kasia was completely unobtrusive as she cooked. After the dessert she slipped out leaving the kitchen immaculate. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience from start to finish, great food and excellent service all round.

Kasia was extremely friendly and professional; she produced a delicious and beautifully presented gluten-free meal, using fresh, organic and seasonal ingredients. We would recommend Kasia very highly and will use her again in the future.

I spent the whole evenings attention on myself and my friends. The chef Kasia was friendly and adaptable and left my kitchen spotless! Thank you.

Chef Kasia and her assistant Maja were incredibly friendly and professional. The food and service was outstanding and the kitchen was left spotless after they left. My only small criticisms would be that the portion sizes were too big and we would have enjoyed more of a gap between courses. Nonetheless, I would highly recommend chef Kasia and would gladly ask for her again in the future.

What a fantastic evening, our chef Kasia was totally professional, cooked exceptional organic food and made some amazing cocktails. My guests were blown away by the menu and the taste. I will be using Kasia again for any other special occasions.

From the initial enquiry working with Gianluc Bucchi to the end of the meal when Kasia finished off our meal and left our home the experience has been so easy with an amazing food.

Kasia was on time and thoroughly organised. She prepared a lovely dinner for us and left our kitchen spotless.

Fabulous food - perfect choice for my birthday celebration. Would highly recommend.

Lovely experience and fantastic Chef

Our meal with Kasia as our chef was fabulous. Food was amazing. I had booked Kasia for a 40th celebration meal and was a truly special occasion.

Excellent food and service
Kasia was very friendly and charming

An excellent experiece. Kasia waa very professionsl and friendly, the food was delicious and the tidying up was perfect. Made for a fantastic dinner party.

Chef Kasia was fantastic (as was Gosia, her colleague). The communication prior to the event was great and most importantly, the food and presentation was superb. Thank you!

We could not fault a single part of our Christmas meal with Kasia. The presentation, taste and service of the food was impeccable. Not to mention the fact that Kasia and her sous chef were incredibly friendly and accommodating (we had to postpone the dinner by 25 minutes as there were late arrivals). We would absolutely recommend Kasia to anyone booking with La Belle. Our work Christmas party was a roaring success - thanks you so much!

Our chef was totally professional and very friendly the food was amazing. My Kitchen after the event was left spotless. Would definitely recommend to friends and family.

Everything was terrific.

Chef Kasia was an extremely efficient and professional Chef whose attention to detail and service standard was outstanding. She produced a fabulous breakfast which factored in our dietary requirements and which was thoroughly enjoyed by the entire party.

Kasia was great. The triple cooked duck was the best duck I've had. The homemade mango sauce with Salmon was delicious. The choc & orange cake with vanilla cream went down a treat.
Kasia provided organic ingredients which we loved. Her knowledge of organic and naturally sourced food items was very useful. Kasia also catered for my 17mnth daughter. Giving her food from the menu. She was very warming and helpful.
I would highly recommend Kasia to everyone and look forward to booking kasia again.

Food Was Lovely, Presentation was Lovely, We all had a great time!

Our chef turned up on time, was really friendly and cooked amazing food.

Kasia and her assistant were absolutely fantastic. They were willing to fit the timings of the meal around the timings of a murder mystery night we were taking part in, were really friendly and tidy. And most importantly the food was absolutely delicious. I'd definitely recommend them.

Kasia was great - she arrived on time and prepared a wonderful meal for myself and my wife.

The overall service was good, however I was disappointed by two things:
1. the kitchen floor as well as other small areas were not left as found, I had to mop the floor and re-clean other areas of the kitchen. In addition, the chef and waitress put their feet up with shoes on the kitchen stools whilst we were eating.
2. the olive paste contained anchovies, and I had made it clear in previous correspondence with Gianluca that anchovies is one of the food items that should not be included as my girlfriend does not eat it.

Kasia provided us with an excellent dining experience for our family to celebrate my wife's 60th burthday.

Everything was great on the night - food service etc. This rating has been lowered overall due to some lack of communication and mis-understandings on the run-up to the event. Otherwise it was really good!

Kasia made sure that all the guests special requests were met. Superb food . From her arrival everything was taken care of so we could enjoy our evening. Kitchen left clean and tidy. Thank you.

Great food, great service! Highly recommended - can't wait to experience a dinner with Kasia again.

We had a wonderful evening and the menu was superb.... I look forward to our next flavor Experience ! Thank you!

We were very last minute in booking up but Gianluca was really helpful and we chose our chef for the night to be Kasia. Kasia was great. Very prompt and polite. The food was amazing. Have been to some lovely restaurants but it's been a while since I enjoyed all three courses as much as I did Kasia's. All four of us were very pleased with the experience, and not to have to wash up was just a bonus. I would highly recommend.

We had a wonder experience with Kasia - she was friendly, clean and swift. She arrived on time, and breakfast was served up bang on the time we had requested. Kasia was full of knowledge and shared her experience of picking products and menus with us whist she prepared everything.

Chef Kasia was incredible. So so polite, clean and the food was beautiful. It was amazing, especially for my dad who's agoraphobic, it was nice to bring a posh restaurant experience home to him. I will definitely be booking again.

Absolutely fantastic! All requests were accommodated even the surprise for my wife which was just fabulous. Kasia certainly went beyond our expectations and delivered an awesome lunch for everyone (even with short notice for additional guests)! Cannot wait to eat Kasia's food again at our next event - thank you for such an amazing experience!

Terrific food and service.

We have used Chef Sasia a couple of times in the past and decided to use her for our wedding lunch. I was apprehensive about how smoothly things would go as she would be cooking for 30+ guests, she reassured me that everything would go according to the plan and unsurprisingly she delivered. All the courses were served according to the seating plan and on time. All my guests were impressed by the quality of the food and the large portion sizes, suffice to say not much dinner was eaten that night!! I would highly recommend Chef Sasia; the service and most importantly the quality of her cooking would stand up to any reputable restaurant.

I decided a meal cooked at home for a group of friends for my birthday would be something different - and I was right. After selecting my dates I was given a list of menus by different chefs and decided on Meaty Meaty cooked by Chef Kasia. I wanted a couple of changes to the menu which was not a problem after speaking to Kasia. The night was perfect. Kasia and her assistant arrived on time and started preparing the meal after a couple of questions. We were left to enjoy drinks outside while everything was prepared. Once ready we were asked to be seated at the table and were served delicious food. All we had to do was look after the wine and wait for the next course. After dessert, our cheese board was presented and then they were off leaving the kitchen spotless. The night was perfect, the food was superb and everyone was impressed.

We had booked Chef Kasia Samuels for a celebration lunch for 6 on our 40th wedding Anniversary (with granddaughters 3 months old and three years old also present it seemed the perfect solution)
Within minutes of arriving, Chef Kasia and her sous-chef had started cooking.
I had explained that the meal might have to be delayed if my daughter needed to feed the baby. Kasia was very understanding and we did actually have to delay the meal for a few minutes and kasia coped with this with no fuss at all.
We had chosen the Teaser Menu with the mushroom stater, the sweet and sour sea bass as main and the crumble as dessert. We were not disappointed! Every course was delicious and beautifully presented ( I had worried about which of my crockery they would find suitable, in fact they brought their own stylish plates).
Crucially, the sea bass fillets were cooked to perfection, the portions were generous and the flavours of the whole menu were very well balanced.
Before the event kasia offered good communication and was happy to discuss menu choices and advise on wines. On the day, I found kasia (and her sous-chef) very friendly, organised and super efficient. Within two and a half hours, the meal had been cooked served and the kitchen left spotless. Thank you!
A minor point is that we had ordered individual printed menus from La Belle Assiette which sadly, arrived the day
after the event... I suspect it's because we had chosen the menu quite late (only 10 days before) and also they had come from Paris. In the end, it didn't matter as I had printed my own.
Overall, a lovely experience, it was and felt very special. Thank you Kasia and La Belle Assiette

Kasia was a pleasure to have in our home. She was upbeat, efficient and unobtrusive. We would definitely have her cook for us again.

This was my first experience with La Bellle Assiette and I am glad I selected Kasia to be the chef for the night. She delivered tasty food in a professional manner. I would highly recommend her.

I was unsure of what to expect having someone cooking in my kitchen but the whole experience was surprising exceptional. The quality of the food would stand up to any reputable restaurant. I have a number of fussy eaters; who all enjoyed the food and cleared their plates. We have booked Chef Sasia again for a big event in a couple of weeks.

Kasia was prompt, friendly and got straight on with the cooking on arrival. The food was tasty, nicely presented and the portions were generous. We all loved it and would recommend her.

This was an event for 25 people, and LeBelleAssiette gave me extra help in selecting a chef and setting it all up.

I chose Kasia based on her excellent reviews on the site and the type of menus she had.

Kasia was accommodating of amendments to the menu given it was a large party and discussed everything with me in advance, including thoughts on the wine to go with it.

She arrived in the afternoon with another chef to help her and they were fun around the house as well as working hard to get everything ready. It was a warm day and we were working outside to get the party set up, and Kasia made a really refreshing drink with some fruit to keep us going.

The service was great, on time and with a smile. Every plate identical and beautifully presented, especially the salmon on the slates and the desserts.

When Kasia left at the end of the night everything was spotless.

The dinner went faultlessly. For a big party of 25 and for my wife's 40th, I put all my faith in Kasia that it would be perfect, and it exceeded all my expectations. Our friends like their food and eat out at high end restaurants and they were all commenting on the quality of the food. Made me proud to have pulled off a big dinner for our best friends, all thanks to Kasia.

We were completely wowed by the efficiency, service and – most importantly – the food. Kasia was a joy to have around – so friendly, but not in an overbearing way at all. It was quite something seeing her and her colleague at work – in no time at all, she and her colleague had the most delicious meal ready that all my guests raved about. They were flexible and accommodating about when we wanted the starters to turn up and there was no feeling of being rushed through the meal. The quality of the food and the flavours and textures were wonderful. Quantities were perfect (nobody left anything, but we certainly didn’t go hungry!) and the presentation was restaurant-quality. Kasia left the kitchen spotless. We hope to use her again soon. Huge thanks for us. 10 out of 10.

... A very special occasion, made extra special with Kasias help!

Through brilliant communication from start to finish, Kasia came up with a beautifully tailored experience for my wedding proposal in the candle lit garden.
Each dish was cooked to perfection & presented with precision & perfect timing, allowing us to enjoy the lovely warm summer evening together.
Kasia, after her finale of a delicious collaboration between tiramisu and salted caramel, managed to quietly clean & pack up, leaving us to complete a magical evening uninterrupted.
Overall our experience with Kasia was fantastic & we loved her commitment to a perfect meal & flexibility to create a special memory which we will keep forever.

Thank you so much for your help & we can't recommend you enough to add an extra bit of magic to any special occasion!
Many thanks,
Stuart & Katie

Perfect experience! Couldn't take my wife out for a high quality meal in London for our anniversary due to a 12 week old baby, Chef Kasia to the rescue. Couldn't have worked out better and food was better than many London high end restaurant. That combined with Kasia's personal touch, kindness, knowledge of food and combining flavours made this an evening to remember. My wife was impressed anyway! Only problem: how do I top this next year!

the meal was very nice and Kaisa left the kitchen spotless. Thank you

Great service offering, good communication, outstanding presentation and wonderful menu. Kaisa gave a few alternative fish options so we ended up with a sea bass main course that was truly epic!

Kasia's menu was beautiful and cooked to perfection! Having read all of her great reviews, we were very excited to try her food and it was delicious. Our starter of prawns had great flavour and the steak main course was melt in the mouth. Kasia was great to speak to before our dinner party and arrange the details of the menu and we can't wait to book again! She was so friendly and lovely to have around too - thank you Kasia for making our dinner a special occasion!

When we booked a chef, we had no idea it was going to be sooo good. Kasia's fish disk was a taste sensation at every layer. She is a true chef and takes great care and pride in her dishes. Kasia us 8 girls want to say a huge thank you (you also coped well with the Aga saga ;-) - professional, punctual and above all courteous and a brilliant chef - cant recommend you enough - thank you

Kasia was fantastic, we had a wonderful birthday lunch. Food was absolutely delicious. Would highly recommend!

It was truly an exceptional experience. It is great being able to spend every minute with your guests while knowing that you don't have to worry about food preparation etc. Kasia's dishes were delicious. I would definitely have her on other occasions, and i would highly recommend her.

I just wanted to share some feedback from our wonderful experience last Friday - we four girls had an amazing time!

Kasia was incredibly punctual, left the kitchen just as it was. She was efficient and quick at preparing our courses, All in all, it was such a great experience to have a professionally prepared meal in the comfort of your own home and everything was very easy. We had a big group of girls around afterwards for olives and cheese and several of them took business cards as they were interested to learn more about La Belle Assiette!

Thank you for this whole experience - it made for the perfect Friday night in.

We had a really lovely evening. It was so nice not to have to worry about anything when hosting a dinner party and the kitchen was left spotless at the end of the evening.

Kasia's menu was absolutely delicious and everyone loved the meal, especially the steak. She arrived, cooked and left leaving the kitchen immaculate. The whole experience was calm and thoroughly enjoyable.

The food was absolutely delicious, every mouthful was heavenly and none of the dinner guests wanted the food (especially the steak) to be finished from our plates as it tasted too good! Kasia worked so hard and left the kitchen spotless. The food was served together so no one had to wait for their meal. I would recommend Kasia and book with her again.

Kasia's food was unreal and she cooked the best fillet steak I have truthfully ever eaten and I wish it was an everlasting gobstopper and could have lasted for ever!!

I really enjoyed the entire evening and the food was superb. Of note was the main course though, tender melt in your mouth beef and creamy truffle mashed potato! Stunning! The dining in experience was also fantastic and felt very special. Well done Kasia!

For this mother’s day we wanted to try something different, rather than going out for lunch or getting a takeaway. Hiring a chef for the lunch (Kasia Samules) turned out of be a fantastic idea. Not only the food was brilliant (home / freshly cooked), my wife and I could put our feet up and enjoy some quality time with the family.

Kasia turned up on the day and took full control of the kitchen. Once the starters were ready she invited us to a well laid dining table. She then served the food and waited until we were done. Finally, she cleaned the kitchen before leaving.

The food was brilliant – we went for Chicken wings for the starters, Green Thai chicken curry with rice for the starters and Apple and Strawberry crumble with ice-cream for the dessert. I would definitely recommend Chicken wings – one of the best I have had for sometime.

I think we may have Kasia back in for the Christmas and cook us a nice roast, while we enjoy with the family.

Kasia was amazing.
Despite a range of dietary requirements which played havoc with her menu, she managed to cater for everyone perfectly.
Ahead of the evening, her menu read mouth wateringly well. She, and her waitress arrived in good time and just got on with it. All I had to do was to lay the table, although they even offered to do that.
The food was superb. The starter was pretty as a picture, presented on a black slate, and tasted just as good. The main course steak was the best i'd ever eaten - truly. It just melted in the mouth and every one of us eating it felt the same. It was in a rich, deeply flavoured red wine jus which I could have drunk on its own. So so good! Lucky she served it on some yummy mash to mop it up with! The champagne jelly and pannacotta pud was a perfect, light ending to the meal.
She served everything on her own, elegant china/slate/glass so it all looked restaurant standard.
The veggies amongst us weren't neglected as they ate wild mushroom soup with griddled focaccia and a Thai-style veggie curry and rice. (Also delicious)
She and her waitress left my kitchen pretty well as they found it and left us all with huge smiles on our faces.
We agreed we'd love to have Kasia come and cook for us anytime! Thank you so much Kasia.

I had the pleasure of being invited to a meal at my friend's home, to experience the culinary genius that is Kasia S Samuels. I can quite happily say that it was the best meal I have eaten in a very long time (if not ever). The attention to detail, combination of tastes, textures and ingredients were inspiring. Kasia clearly cooks with passion and dedication, and I could see how much she cared about the preparation and presentation of the food. The meal began with seared salmon, which was rare (almost sushi) but beautifully complimented by sesame seeds and spirallised vegetables. Very light, upbeat and incredible tasty to start. The main course however for me was the main event. We were served steak (cooked to our own preferences), which was so tender it melted in the mouth, with truffle mash and asparagus. Everything cooked to perfection, just the right portion size - not too big/small, and everyone around the table agreed on it being the best steak we'd tasted. I gather it had been marinated for two days, and Kasia clearly selects the best herbs, spices and ingredients. Dessert was the perfect finale - a panacotta cup with zingy berry layers, to leave us all with a sweet taste after an extraordinary meal. On a personal note, Kasia is charming, professional, calm, organised, and most importantly - an incredible chef. And all enjoyed in the comfort of a home setting - I'd definitely book her in the future.

Simply excellent. My daughter and I really enjoyed the lesson and learned a lot.

Great menu for our Valentine day plus able to cater separately a menu for our 5yo daughter. While it was strange someone else at home cooking fine food and drink, it gave a chance to relax and enjoy the moment with whole family. The food was amazing and cocktails had good kick. Well worth staying in for fine dining so no taxi home or mess 😀

Thank you for an excellent meal last night. Every one thoroughly enjoyed themselves and we particularly enjoyed the Starter and the Steak main course. They were brilliant. We enjoyed your presentations and you were attentive without being intrusive. Finally "thank you" for leaving the Kitchen so clean and tidy.

Kasia was friendly and flexible to our likes and dislikes. Her food was really tasty and well presented and she was very professional.

Truly outstanding menu prepared and presented with great efficiency and skill. We had a wonderful evening and will certainly invite chef Kasia back again.

Kasia was very helpful leading up to the event. She arrived early to ensure that everything was done on time. She was very friendly and the food was great.

very nice and friendly service and good quality food

Kasia was a pleasure to work with. She was very friendly and organised, but most importantly - she prepared a real delicious Christmas feast that every single person enjoyed immensely!

Thanks to Kasia we had a truly wonderful dinner party. This was a huge treat as a gift - dinner for 6 at home. The menu was fantastic and the food really was gorgeous - all our guests said so. Kasia was also a pleasure to have in the house. She just got on with everything and left us with nothing at all to worry about. A wonderful evening and I would not hesitate to recommend Kasia and La Belle Assiette.

Excellent and on time , perfect......

Superb all round we cannot fault her. I would highly recommend her and use her again.

Kasia provided my family with a fantastic, nutritious and well presented meal. The fillet steaks were cooked to everyone's individual taste buds and the scallop starter dish was delicious, with just the right seasoning. I'll never forget the way she made the crispy sage! The poached pear was absolutely delicious !!! Really recommend Kasia for your event.

The presentation, service and the quality of ingredients was outstanding. Kasia was very kind and patient and always delivered delicious food.

Kasia was delightful, really efficient, great to have around but not evasive. Food was phenomenal ane the cocktails were superb.

Kasia is an excellent chef. Well mannered and talented, the 3-course meal of tuna steak, chicken curry and poached pear was light yet flavoursome. I'd recommend her to everyone and she created a great experience. You can tell she really cares about the food she cooks and presents for the diners.

The food and service was very good and professional chef kasia is the best we have had yet would definitely recommend her. Her fillet steak was definitely the best I ever had and it was very tasty and full of fantastic flavours.

This was the first Chef I have hired for a company event, and something that as a brand we are looking to do more of. It enables us to demonstrate the fantastic food we can cook on our products by a professional chef - whilst we can be on hand to talk about the functionalities and benefits. Kasia was extremely easy to deal with from the outset - even at extremely short notice. On the day she was professional and remained calm even under difficult circumstances - we had limited space anD no running water. I think she was even convinved into buying one of our steam ovens. 5*! Thanks for your help. Helena - Account Manager Electrolux PLC.

Kasia was absolutely amazing. She was an utter delight to have in the house, worked around all the mess I left in the kitchen, was polite at all times but most importantly the food was incredible. The duck was beyond tasty and all the dishes looked fantastic. I even told her at last minute one guest was vegetarian and she sorted them out an equally tasty dish with no fuss or hassle. I throughly recommend her to everyone.

We had Kasia come and cook for us on Saturday. She was excellent. The food was delicious and the kitchen was left spotless.

Superb meal well presented. Kasia was great - punctual, pleasant and served us a wonderful meal. The marinated steaks really did melt in the mouth ! Highly recommended.

Kasia cooked an amazing menu full of wonderful flavours and textures. I can still taste the tender fillet steak in my mouth - it was fantastic!

Overall it was the perfect way to celebrate our anniversary and I highly recommend Kasia.

After months of struggling on my own to cook using the Gerson Nutritional Therapy guidelines, today, Chef Kasia brought life to recipes which were previously bland and unappetising; adding herbs and spices and finding interesting combinations of ingredients which I am able to finally enjoy eating. She has been very attentive and considerate of my dietary requirements and I no longer feel alone in this aspect of the Gerson Nutritional Therapy. I feel very lucky to have 'found' her and look forward to her coming again.
