Chef Cameron of Morchella was wonderful. He came prepared, professional, and completely in control of the evening. The food was beautiful and presented with great care, and every course had a story and sense of history behind it.
Everything was delicious and unique. His hospitality was truly top tier, and he was fun, personable, and easy to be around. Our guests loved the experience and were talking about it all night.
It was such a special way to host my husband’s 50th at home while still having a full luxury dining experience. I was able to enjoy the night without worrying about anything.
I would absolutely recommend him for any event.

Cameron created a meal way beyond our expectations! My mother-in -law suddenly passed away the week we were planning for her 100th birthday party and so our event turned into a celebration of life. First Cameron was very compassionate and understanding as we tacked. We were all a mess so it was particularly wonderful to have the dinner go off with such success and his easy mellow and organized way was a delight. The party of 24 was raving about every course! Just wonderful fresh and creative food. What a dream. I would hire him again in a heartbeat! Stop looking. This is your guy! A real Chef and a great person as well! More...

We loved having Chef Cameron come to our rental home because it allowed us to have an intimate meal while having a newborn with us. Chef’s attention to detail and his self-grown food items were impressive! The entire meal was truly amazing and everyone had clean plates. We didn’t have a single thing to clean up and conversation was easy. We highly recommend for a fine dining feel in your own space! More...

Chef Cameron knocked it out of the park as a private chef for my daughter’s wedding reception on 12/27. His spread for cocktail hour was fresh and delicious with many options including charcuterie, bruschetta and savory tarts. He also created a phenomenal main course dinner of braised beef short ribs over whipped potatoes with seasonal vegetables. He wowed all 20 of us at the dinner. He was so easy to work with and communicate with and his skill as a chef is astounding. I highly recommend him. More...
