I am writing to express the great happiness that both my party and I had when Chef Joslin and her team prepared a fabulous multicourse meal for us recently.... read more Everyone in our ten person party found the entire experience to be pretty much perfect - from excellent food to friendly, attentive service. We started out with several tasty passed hors d’oeuvres served to us poolside. I was partially fond of the gazpacho, which is a favorite that I like to make. It was fresh, well-balanced, and a great way to kick things off. Also standing out were the spectacular curry chicken salad cucumber cups. Dang, were those good. Again, balance of flavors reigned supreme, with just perfect current strength and depth, contrasted by the refreshing cold crisp of the fresh cucumber. Our meal continued to wow us. While I loved the salmon, the beef filet with peppercorn sauce stood out for how perfectly it was prepared - just the right amount of red with a great sear and nicely balanced sauce - neither heavy nor too light to stand up against the beef. Beautiful pencil thin asparagus was both perfectly cooked but also warm and accented with lemon zest. I never thought to microplane lemon on my asparagus, but I’ll be stealing this idea going forward. The scalloped potatoes were to die for. Oh and preceding salad was both fresh and pretty. I liked the edible flower as an extra touch. Desert impressed us as well, and I was especially fond of the berry crumble. Amazing. Chef Joslin and her partner went out of their way to make sure we had a great meal and a great experience. I cannot recommend them highly enough, and I feel like we got a wonderful value for our money. An awesome bespoke experience for a weary group of travelers who were kicking off their holiday in Palm Springs. I would love to eat Chef Joslin’s cooking again, and I loved how she looked out for all of us and was so down to earth. You can’t ask for much more than that, can you? Mmmmm.

We started with an amazing charcuterie spread in the back yard, then a 3 course dinner. The combination of flavors in each dish was complex and delicious. Cannot recommend highly enough.

April 6, 2024We had an amazing dinner at our rental house in Palm Springs. Sad we forgot to take pictures of the appetizers because they served them poolside by the fire pit.... read more Wonderful experience and very professional team. The food was excellent, proper temp (not cold like a lot of catering food) and the portions were perfect for our party of 10. Feeling kind of spoiled now like we need a private chef once a week, but only from this team. lol.

Chef Jossie and our server Merissa did an absolute stand up job. I hosted my grandma’s 70th birthday and needed to find a last minute private chef for dinner. Jossie... read more was so responsive, helpful, and flexible with the food requests. The night of the dinner, they came so prepared with everything they needed to ensure the dinner ran smoothly and without a fuss. The appetizer portion of the meal was excellent! We had a Mediterranean spread of dips, grilled vegetables and pita bread. The filet that was served for dinner was out of this world and the plating of everything was a piece of art. I would highly recommend Jossie and her team for any and all occasions from small, intimate dinners to larger gatherings. I am looking very forward to bringing her on board with our next party.

Chef Joslin is a true find! We had her host a private dinner party at our home for our visiting daughter and son-in-law to celebrate their one year anniversary. Joslin... read more created a very memorable evening for them and we’re grateful to her. She arrived on time, brought her own equipment, prepared a beautiful meal (customized for both a ‘foodie’ and a ‘picky eater’), printed out a personalized menu and left our kitchen spotless. We will definitely be using her in the future…I just hope she’ll be available!

October 3, 2023I cannot recommend Chef Joslin enough! We worked with Chef Joslin for a private bachelorette party dinner in Desert Hot Springs - we came to her with a pretty... read more vague canvas for the evening (we just knew we wanted a multi-course dinner, didn't know what we should make, etc.), and she curated an incredible coursed meal of apps and mains that gave us the experience of fine dining in our own home. She also proactively offered to print menus, which were such a fun keepsake and had the "theme" of our bachelorette party as the title. She came with her colleague, Merissa, who helped with set up and serving - Merissa also helped us with decor, plating, etc. to make the night extremely special, and again, give the experience of fine dining in our own home. She was also a pleasure to work with! Chef Joslin's pricing was extremely fair for all that was included, and in general, she's just an awesome/fun person, and made us feel super comfortable/relaxed - exactly the night we were hoping for! If you're looking for a private chef in the Palm Springs area, would absolutely recommend reaching out to Chef Joslin!
