Joan does an exceptional job with meal prep, and has a keen eye for customers’ unique dietary needs. I came to her with a long list of allergies and dietary restrictions to be mindful of, and she effortlessly whipped up 3 or 4 different meal options which have served me very well. It’s comforting to know that when I can’t eat a large chunk of the conventional modern diet, I can always turn to Joan to find something nutritious and tasty for me to settle down with. I have had only good experiences working with her since 2020!

 I would highly recommend Joan Watson and her delicious meals.  Each meal is cooked to order and freezer ready.  Joan is not only a wonderful chef but has become a very dear friend.

Joan was a private chef for my parents before they moved to a retirement community.  The meals she planned and prepared were consistently delicious and added greatly to my parents quality of life.  

In addition to her culinary talent, Joan is also calm and gracious, as well as flexible and very well organized - a genuine pleasure to work with.  She set up a good system, always asked for our input, and customized the menus accordingly.

Finding Joan was a blessing.  She even inspired my own cooking and I recommend her highly.

Chef Joan brightens our lives with her wonderful cooking and meals. Always smells great when it is a Chef Joan day, and does she save me time! Taking her great meals, individually packed from the freezer, heating them up, makes it easy, healthy, and more importantly, we always get a great tasting dinner! Joan has sample recipes that are fabulous! But she also is one of those cooking artists where I could ask her to follow a family recipe, or ask her to experiment this way or that. We always look forward to her cooking in our kitchen. I highly recommend this amazing talented personal chef.

I highly recommend Joan's Personal Chef Service. Joan Watson has been cooking for me for the past six months. Although I am on a very low salt diet, I have been enjoying a tasty, interesting variety of meals created and made by Joan once a month or so in my kitchen. She has a large variety of recipes at her finger tips and is able to tweak them to meet my dietary needs and culinary tastes. Joan is a pleasant woman, easy to work with, flexible and organized. I have found her charges to be quite reasonable. I recommend Joan's Personal Chef Services with no reservations.

I was privileged to have Joan as my special diabetic chef for 3 years. The meals were delicious, as well as nutritious. I am moving to an assisted living program but I will miss Joan tremendously. I would give her an A+++, plus she gave me lots of TLC.

Joan has been so accommodating to our needs. My husband and I are older and we each have several medical issues. Joan has happily made changes as our dietary requirements change. Not sure what we would do without her. We love the days when she is here. She always walks in with a smile and makes us feel good before she even begins to cook. She really has become a member of our family.

“Kudos to Joan and her cooking! The meals are not only nutritious, but delicious as well. We have had Joan cooking for my mother in law for a little over a year now. We couldn't be happier. My mother in law has diabetes and Joan is very conscientious, taking that into account, when planning meals. My mother in law's blood sugar has stabilized since Joan took over the cooking. Thanks Joan!!! We are very pleased with your services.

When Chef Joan cooks for us, we know there's a great meal waiting. And, the house always smells terrific, the table is set, and the kitchen is spotless.Finding Joan has meant that we get to spend the time enjoying our meal, lingering longer over it, and simply relaxing. It has meant priceless family time, at home.We would probably fall under the "in a rut" category, and never thought we would broaden our food horizons. Yet we like to try new choices from her repertoire, and have loved each and every item. We also come back to favorites such as the salmon with marmalade glaze, the London broil, and her pureed sweet potatoes. Joan has been amazing with her ability to accommodate the variety of preferences within our family. She's happy to adapt her offerings to individual tastes or dietary requirements. Our daughter loves coming home, to the smell of Joan's cooking, after school. She said it's like an elf came over and cooked our dinner. Indeed, there must be magic involved. Thank you, Joan.
