Chef Anna uses unexpected ingredients and techniques and creates dishes that are  somehow both surprising and familiar. Her food is indulgent while at the same time being incredibly nourishing. She has a vast knowledge of several world cuisines that she weaves through her menus, making them unique from the menus of other chefs. While all of her courses are fantastic, she has a particular knack for creating the perfect bite in the appetizer course and unexpected salads. I appreciate her health-concious cooking, including incredible gluten-free and dairy-free dishes.

I am a photographer for Bass Pro Shops and Chef Anna is who we call when we need that extra special attention needed for our food shots. Not only is she a pure pleasure to work with, we knocked out more than expected in daily shots. By far, my favorite food stylist and Chef around!! Her attention to detail is unmatched.

Anna is a true friend of Norway and of Norwegian origin. Always willing to help others. Positive. Excellent chef. Dedicated.

Has worked at the most prestigious restaurant Maemo in Oslo (with three Michelin Stars). Caring. Lively. Hardworking. Fast. Sees and does everything that needs to be done.

Chef Anna is one of a kind! She’s not only incredibly talented but professional! Her menus are unique and delicious, and her rapport while commanding a dinner party is second to none. I cannot recommend her chef services enough!

I cannot express how much respect I have for Anna both as a person and a food connoisseur.  She is as intentional and thoughtful in her culinary creations as she is to work with planning a menu for an event. I have had the pleasure of doing several private events on my farm with her, and each one was thoughtfully curated to meet the needs of our farms mission and the ambience we wanted to create for our guests.  Anna made them unforgettable and helped us to set the expectation of a farm to table event as a standard of local culinary excellence. I love watching her bring the most important part of any gathering to life with her amazing skills as a chef.  Anna is a rare find.

Chef Anna's passion for flavor and high quality dining experiences is second to none. Her cooking is truly a work of art in itself, followed by stunning presentation. Chef Anna is a world class culinary artist.

What a fabulous meal prepared by an engaging chef.  We loved every course and how Chef Anna explained them. Anna coordinated well w/ the host in making selections. We would definitely use her again.

Chef Anna's food is unmatched in quality and flavor. The only food I've had that comes close to comparison are dishes I've gotten to enjoy at Michelin-star restaurants or in Scandinavian countries. I'm always impressed with how she can take simple, fresh ingredients and apply various preparation techniques to open up their flavor. It takes a very talented person to make ordinary and nutritious ingredients like vegetables tantalize your tastebuds, but she can do it. Furthermore, I've also gotten to observe her in the kitchen, and she remains kind and professional, even in high-pressure situations.

--Tessa Cooper, food writer and photographer

Chef Anna is beyond compare. Proactive and client-minded. Consummate food and delivery. Conversational and caring. Provider of first-class experience. Our dinner party had an exquisite time and Chef Anna and husband Wesley set the stage. We will be repeat clients!

Our time spent with Chef Anna was a JOY! She is so knowledgeable and well versed in all things culinary. The meals have always been well thought out and fun to participate creating. And even if you aren't cooking spending time with this lovely lady is a blessing in itself! Would highly recommend Chef Anna for any occasion big or small.

Our experience with Chef Anna was incredible! She worked with me in advance to get input into the menu and took into account several dietary restrictions. The food she prepared was spectacular -- delicious, unique, and beautifully presented! For as much as my family enjoyed the food, we equally enjoyed our time with Chef Anna and her sous-chef. My family unanimously agreed that next time we will set two extra places for them to join us in the meal. That evening is such a special memory for my family, and one we certainly plan to do again the next time when we are in the area. To anyone considering hiring a private chef for their next event, I could not more highly recommend Chef Anna.
