We recently hired this amazing entrepreneur for our oldest daughter's 4th birthday party. My daughter loves to cook with mommy and calls herself a "cooker" so it was an easy decision to go with a cooking theme for her party.

I contacted The playful chef and spoke to chef Alisa and right from the start I knew I made the right decision. She was very professional, very thorough and very sweet too! She did EVERYTHING ! From set-up to clean up -she kept all of our guests entertained to the fullest and every child left having had a blast!

The "Chefs" made pizzas and cupcakes for desert and did crafts while the pizzas were cooking!

I would highly recommend this company to anyone considering having a cooking themed party. 

The party is great for ages 4 through 12. She thought of everything and I got to enjoy my guests at this party because she was so involved with every aspect !!

I didn't even have to take pictures,she takes them and sends them to you on a CD!! -what a nice change from my normal parties where I don't even get a chance to eat .

This was by far my easiest birthday party I have ever planned -thanks to chef Alisa !

H.K. Gilbert was inspired to write children's books when she saw her daughter's face filled with excitement as they read bed time stories together. She has had amazing opportunities to volunteer for organizations such as project R.E.A.D. , which tutors adults who never had the opportunity to learn to read , other organizations such as The Hillman House-a foundation to help children with Cystic Fibrosis and houses their families during treatments. With all these experiences , the common thread is that she is involved with activities that give back!
