%22We have had the privilege of working with Victoria Cortes on virtually every type of personal chef service she offers and each time it’s an absolute delight! Over the years she has catered multi-course fancy dinners, casual gatherings and high-end open houses for us along with personalized menus of meals for our family.

We have recently become raving fans of her convenient monthly meal programs where delicious, anti-inflammatory food is porch-dropped right to our front door and we don’t have to worry about what we’re eating for days! Her talents are endless and her food is a hit with everyone who has the pleasure of enjoying it.

As a business person, she is flexible, thoughtful, talented, organized and a joy to work with. Our life is better, healthier, easier and more lovely with Victoria in it. Treat yourself and your loved ones and work with Victoria Cortes for all your Northern Virginia personal chef needs!%22

%22Nothing but excellence from Chef Cortes – every time. We have used her services for family celebrations including our wedding dinner. It’s not just that she cooks well – her menus are always on point for the occasion and the flavors are just amazing – and both littles and adults sing her praises. Years later a guest will reminisce about a dish she prepared! Most recently, I joined her four week anti-inflammatory meal program. Creative, different, exceptionally seasoned – each dish was something to look forward to and I always felt full and satisfied. The anti-inflammatory aspect worked too and I just felt better in my skin. It is always a pleasure to work with Victoria – she is a truly kind and caring person. We left the area for a few years and are so thrilled to be back and able tap into her meal programs and services again!!%22

%22Victoria, Thank you for the amazing cooking demonstration for our women’s group. We thoroughly enjoyed learning how to prepare all the tasty and healthy foods you demonstrated along with the advice about the wine pairings. Many of the members have already tried your recipes at home with great success. We had such a good time, we plan to do it again!%22

%22It is truly a pleasure to recommend Victoria Cortes as a personal chef to you. We have enjoyed her innovative and healthy recipes for the past eight months without one complaint and intend on continuing to use her skilled service for the foreseeable future. As busy retirees we love the convenience of having a well-stocked freezer full of good food that is free from unhealthy chemicals within our reach whenever we want anything from a snack to an entire meal.%22

%22Victoria, let me start by saying that we are really happy that we hired you. You did a great job, and we thanked you at every meal…The sauce for the pizza kits was OUTSTANDING. It was the best I’ve ever had… Everyone agreed that your meatloaf was the best they’d ever had. There was not a crumb left after the meal…We were going to share the individual berry puddings, but everyone liked them so much that we each wanted our own. In all, a great weekend of food — and we are still eating all this goodness. You did a really fine job. Thank you again. %22

%22I contacted quite a few personal chefs for our events, and Victoria was the only one who treated our limitations as exciting challenges rather than blockers. Despite severe food allergies, the need for portable meals, and strong preferences and dislikes, Victoria rose to the occasion. Working with someone as professional and willing to adapt and learn was a pleasure for us. And the food was delicious, beautifully presented, and fairly priced. We will use her again!%22

%22Dear Victoria, thank you so much for all the hard work that went into being the chef for Hermione! It was quite a fabulous night thanks to you. I am so appreciative of your very generous contribution and you made cooking in my kitchen look so very easy. I must also say I do admire the camaraderie you share with your team; they are lucky to have such a delightful and talented woman to work with. I thank you enormously for being a part of the experience for us.%22

%22Hi Victoria! I just want to say, these past two weeks of having food prepared has been amazing! Let me just tell you that it was easy to have meals on the table, I had enough to cover lunch for me at times AND my husband loves each and EVERY dish!!! Double plus, having to cook just one or two of those days this past week didn’t feel like a chore and we only went out to dinner ONCE!!! So yes, we cannot wait for next week!!!%22

%22Personal Chef Victoria was instrumental in helping us follow an anti-inflammatory diet for optimal nutrition and performance. Chef Victoria worked with an extensive list of foods that we chose to avoid, and developed a variety of creative menu options for us. She inspired us to love more vegetables than before, and we never felt like we were eating a restricted diet. We particularly liked her homemade fermented beverages, her kale salad with a dairy-free cilantro-lime dressing, and her soups made with bone broth. We were surprised at the number of desserts and snacks Chef Victoria was able to adapt for us- they included gluten-free granola bars, nut butter energy bites, and a raw brownie. We will miss her food when we leave Washington.%22
