Chef Amber made this experience for our bride-to-be so memorable! She was so accommodating with the dietary needs and requests of our group of 8 and it made the dinner that much more enjoyable. We had an amazing set of appetizers and entrees followed by dessert. I highly recommend this experience to anyone who is staying in Asheville; Chef Amber was wonderful!

Amber was absolutely amazing – her food was delicious, her personality is amazing, and was so professional. Highly recommend booking with Amber!!

Amber was the most wonderful chef from start to finish. She went out of her way to personalize our experience by preparing a meal that accommodated everyone’s dietary restrictions. Her cooking was fantastic and the presentation was beautiful. It was truly a fabulous experience and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for the perfect in home dining experience. We look forward to working with Amber again sometime in the future!

Chef Amber prepared a beautiful meal for 18 women on a retreat from work. It was a real treat for these women and and the food was excellent. She was professional and fun. Even shared recipes and cooking tips which I was amazed by since chefs love to keep their secrets. After the meal was prepared, the kitchen was cleaned to a shine, then the dishes were cleaned too. I highly recommend both Chef Amber Cate and the risotto. Seriously try the risotto. Everything was amazing, but the risotto was out of this world!

We asked Chef Amber to be the chef for our private bachelorette dinner at an Airbnb. Firstly, communication was clear, easy and accommodating (both in that we had a gluten sensitive member in our party and that our Airbnb kitchen may not be fully stocked); she was open and readily accessible. Second, she was self sufficient and required little from us except any expectations or timelines we had. Third, and perhaps most importantly, the food was amazing, and exceeded our expectations. We optioned for a family style set up for the food, and chose charcuterie and scallops for the appetizer (huge eclectic spread of meats, cheeses and fruits, and tender scallops on a bed of fresh corn and cherry tomatoes), steak and lamb for the main (cooked to our desired temperature and served tastefully with seasoned roasted vegetables and crafted sauces), and a flourless chocolate torte for dessert (which was artfully presented and a decadent end to a fine meal). She is also very personable, very fun and energetic and engaging, and delightful to have in the house among us. The dinner service was about 1.5 hours start to finish with the pace of the courses being perfectly timed. Also, she left the kitchen spotless when done. All in all, I was 110% satisfied with Chef Amber and would not hesitate in the slightest to ask for her again if we need a similar dinner scenario in Asheville. Wonderful night!

Amber cooked one evening for our family vacation and we were impressed! She set up and was able to prepare our delicious meal in a somewhat small kitchen area. Everything was seasoned very well and flavorful! She took care of cleaning up and left the kitchen in better shape than when she arrived.
Amber exceeded our expectations and we would recommend her anytime!

We had Chef Amber as Chef Aaron had moved. She made an amazing meal! Everyone was impressed with how good it was, including my 90 year old Grandma who we were celebrating. Chef Amber was also super communicative leading up to the dinner. I would use her again on my next Asheville visit.

Graham was incredible! I highly recommend him!!!

We just finished an amazing week with chef Amber! She came to our vacation rental to cook dinner nightly for our family (4 adults and 3 kids). Her menus were innovative and the dishes were all delicious! She was so accommodating to special requests and so much fun to engage with! She even brought special fruits and other goodies to entice our youngest children to eat! She even went as far as to give a baking and science lesson to two of our boys! She was a welcomed addition to our family for the week and we were sad to say goodbye. We can’t wait to have her cook for us again! Highly recommend booking chef amber for all your dining needs! She excels at fine dining, family dining and even brunch! And her desserts are so light that there is always room for them even after a large meal! We will definitely be booking her again as soon as we are back in the area!

Chef Amber Cate was amazing! We had a party of 17 in Asheville for Fine French (Stuffed Mushrooms, Nicoise Salad, Steak/Frites, Asparagus, and Creme Brulee). All the food was fantastic. Steak was cooked just right and Amber was exceptional. We had never done anything like this before, but after our night with Amber, we’ll not only do it again, but would highly recommend her and FF&K to anyone interested in great food and a hands-off event! Well done and thanks for a wonderful night!

Amber cooked us a wonderful meal all the while entertaining us and teaching us along the way. She was super easy to book and coordinate with and truly made our evening one to remember :). We would absolutely recommend her!

Chef Amber Cate was amazing. We were planning a celebration event for our daughters engagement. Chef Amber Cate was amazing. She worked with our daughters very restrictive diet and made an amazing feast for her and 18 of her closest friends and family. The food was 5 star rated….UNBELIEVABLE. We could not stop raving about it. For my daughter, she made gluten and dairy free dishes that were fabulous. Chef Amber Cate was communicative with us throughout the planning and was extremely accommodating. I would highly recommend her. I would fly her to my daughters wedding reception and have her cater that if I could. That’s how good she is. Don’t pass her up. You won’t regret it. Thank you Chef Amber. We are so appreciative

Chef Amber Cate was such a delight! She was very accommodating and interactive with our group. Not to mention her food was PHENOMENAL! I would highly recommend not only the menu, but anything Chef Amber prepares! This was the perfect night for a group of traveling ladies looking for a great meal with no hassle. Highly recommend and would use again!!

Chef Amber Cate was seriously the best! She was personable and fun and extremely easy to work with. We had a group with some food restrictions (vegan, vegetarian, and pescatarian, as well as all meat eaters) and she accomodated the menus to fit the wants and needs of everyone in the group. This was a corporate dinner so Chef Amber was extremely respectful of that, while making the entire meal experience fun and educational. We would hire her services AGAIN and AGAIN!

If you get anyone else other than Chef Amber Cate you are doing it wrong!

Chef Amber was absolutely wonderful! Both professional and fun, she made my husbands birthday dinner fantastic! She was perfectly prompt and answered all our food questions as we watched her prepare our delicious meal. Next time we are in Asheville we will definitely do this again with the wonderful Chef Amber!

Chef Amber came to our vacation rental and created an amazing culinary experience for our family! She was so much fun to talk with while enjoying her amazing appetizers! We then sat down to a fantastic multi-course dinner for 8 people. Her lamb was cooked to perfection and the flavors just melted in our mouths. Her desserts are beyond incredible—you do not want to miss her pastry chef skills! I promise you, you will not be disappointed! We can’t wait to visit again and enjoy Chef Amber’s amazing food once again! I’ve already requested she make dessert! 🙂
