"A lovely private meal catered with just a few couples was expertly crafted and served by Melissa. Floating Lotus Kitchen created a meal of French cuisine with all of the traditional touches. Very delicious and served well."

The owner also taught a cooking class for my daughter and some friends that was such a great experience. Great teacher and she helped my daughter to grow in her love of cooking. Highly recommend!"

"Floating Lotus Kitchen has been cooking for my family, friends and I for years. She has made so many specialty dishes, both for special occasions and also just for everyday. No matter if our order is small or large, she does it, beautifully. Anything we ask of her, she will make. In addition, we also buy several of her delicious soups by the pint and freeze them and use all the time. It's great to always have them on hand when we get busy. All are so fresh, tasty and yummy. Plus, she is always on time, personable and always pleases us with personalized dishes to fit dietary needs. Don't hesitate to enjoy her dishes as I have used several personal chefs and she is no doubt the best ever!"

"Melissa knocked it out of the park with our home dinner party of 12 guests. We decided on a French themed dinner paired with French wines. She prepped much of the food beforehand thus saving time and cleaning of utensils. An authentic multi course French dinner was flawlessly executed from course to course as she expertly served and cleared each successive item from the table. Wine too was brought to table when needed. Although our kitchen is next to the dining room no loud noises were heard throughout. At the end of the party dishes were in dishwasher or stacked next to the sink. I highly recommend this company for a party or event. The food was absolutely fresh and delicious, the guests all loved it and we couldn't have done this without her culinary and organizational skills."

"I highly recommend Floating Lotus kitchen for all your catering needs! The owner is fantastic at curating the perfect menu for each event and her food is both delicious and beautiful. We have had individual meals cooked for our family as well as events catered for friends and family and had great experiences every time. The owner also taught a cooking class for kids that my daughter was lucky enough to attend and she enjoyed every session and learned to make some wonderful dishes for our family."

"Melissa was a personal chef in our home and made our lives so amazing with her Pre-made dinners, fresh fruit and salad bowls, breakfast quiches, and roasted veggies for the week. She is brilliant and was able to make anything we requested plus surprised us with some delicious dishes. If she still lived in San Diego we would never stop using her services. So many friends and neighbors used her as well. Nothing like having a weeks worth of fresh meals ready to go and a fully clean kitchen afterwards."
