Chef Eleni is amazing. We had the most wonderful meal at our Villa. She bought everything, prepped, cooked and cleaned up, always with a huge smile on her face. The food was authentic and delicious and we would absolutely have her back again!

Eleni coined for 10 of us at a villa we rented for my 50th birthday. Her communication was great and she gave us several options. The grilled meats were delicious and everyone loved the fish and salads. She even decorated and had a special birthday cake. Highly recommend her for any event!

Eleni and her team cooked for us and our 40 guests a really lovely dinner. She paid attention to all the tiny details that make a celebration special and was extremely kind. There is no need to mention that the food was delicious and that all our guests complimented it. I would highly recommend her.

Absolutely outstanding! We hired our private chef for my 40th birthday in Chania to cater for 25 guests, and every meal exceeded expectations. The food was fresh, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. She catered effortlessly for different dietary requirements, and every guest was impressed.  Professional, friendly, and incredibly organised, she made the whole experience completely stress-free. She was a huge part of making my birthday so special. If you’re in Chania and considering a private chef, book her—you won’t be disappointed!

Absolutely would recommend a million times over! Booked Eleni for my sister’s hen party, we did a cooking class on the first night and then private chef experience on our final night and it was amazing. When deciding what to book and which menus to go with Eleni was incredibly helpful with it all, she is super friendly, had such a good laugh with us and also cooked BEAUTIFUL food, so much so most of us want to make it at home (don’t think ours will taste as good though haha). Thank you so much Eleni, definitely book if this is something you’re considering doing in Crete!

Absolutely spectacular!!! Every meal was unique and perfectly cooked and DELICIOUS. It made the retreat I attended so special since sharing meals was one of the best part of the experience.

We had the joy of having their private chefs cook for us for 5 days and the food was superb and varied. It was like a tour of Greek cooking every meal. We felt so well nourished. Highly recommend!

Chef Eleni was wonderful to deal with and our dinner turned out amazing. My daughter has a severe dairy allergy and the chefs were great with keeping her safe. The food was delicious and our chefs were wonderful. Thank you for giving us a special memory that we will forever keep with us:)

Excellent high quality Cretan BBQ cooked by Eleni and Maria. The food was delicious from the grilled vegetables, tzatziki, dakos to the enormous platter of perfectly cooked bbq meats with Greek salad and amazing potatoes. Wonderful service by a charming team who also cleared up allowing us to party. Thank you - highly recommend

I first experienced Cook4U when I attended another retreat they cooked for. The most memorable part of the trip was the amazing food and also the human service we received.

I loved it so much I booked them again for my own trip and they did not disappoint. The food was absolutely incredible and all my guests told me that it was the highlight of their trip as well.

I simply could not recommend them more for any event you are hosting

Amazing culinary experience! Eleni and Marina were both lovely! We got to cook a few Greek food staples and enjoy our meal as a family thereafter. Eleni's recipes although Greek included awesome nuances heightening the dishes. My favorite were the demos (stuffed wine leaves) - out of this world delicious! I highly recommend this experience to any food lovers looking to make sweet memories and bring some cooking skills back home to keep the food experience alive! DEFINITELY A MUST!

Eleni and her team are simply the best! They put so much love and care into preparing delish Cretan dishes. They catered for our retreat and worked with all the dietary requirements of our group. Eleni is a wonderful woman who always came with a smile and a big heart. We loved having her energy and her food in our retreat!

Eleni and her team cooked a lovely birthday meal for my wifes 50th. Everything was perfect. The food was delicious and the service was 10/10. Will definately be using and recommending Eleni and team again. Thank you for going the extra mile with catering for gluten free guests.

Eleni and her team were amazing. They cooked 5 meals for us (2 breakfast, 1 lunch and 2 dinners) and the food was fabulous. As I was celebrating my 40th birthday they even made me a cake! It was so yummy. They arrived at the villa as promised and just got on with everything - we hardly noticed they were there. I can’t recommend enough. You certainly won’t go hungry or be disappointed with Eleni. Thank so much!

Amazing experience.
We have booked Cook4you for our annual incentive trip.
Four days of gustatory happiness. A permanent discovery (breakfast, lunch, dinner of flavours and tastes. Some of my colleagues are directly or indirectly linked to the world of cooking. and all, without exception, were charmed ( and me too ! ) What's more, Eleni and Marina were both incredibly kind and helpful. A very nice encounter. Good times. Thank you.

Absolutely wonderful team! Two sincere, friendly and humorous women are incredible masters of their craft. In addition, they generously share the secrets of their skill. Chef Eleni and partner-chef Marina are true luminaries of Cretan cuisine. Fast, tasty, clean and friendly. We sincerely thank them and recommend them to everyone.

We booked Eleni from Cook4you for our mastermind in Crete. She accompanied us for five days with plenty of variety. She was always very welcoming, and everyone had a great time. Of course, the food was also delicious. We can therefore highly recommend Eleni and her team and will certainly utilize her culinary skills again in the future.

Thank you Chef Eleni for making my 30th wedding anniversary a beautiful life long memory. When you first arrived, I asked what can I do, you said pour yourself a glass of wine and relax. The food was delicious and we ate for two days afterwards. Please extend my sincere thanks to your sous chef. He was incredible with the grilled meats!

Thank you😘😘😘😘

Tried this service and it was way beyond our expectations. We all expected the food to be good, but no one expected it to be that good. On top of that, Elena is an amazing presence — warm, engaging, and a true pleasure to have around.

A wonderful experience at our Villa! This was for our friend’s hen weekend and it could not have been more perfect. The food was absolutely delicious and the portions more than generous.

We had such a special experience with Eleni and Maria during our week of a women's leadership embodiment retreat in Crete. Eleni was masterful in creating our menus each day, ensuring that everyone's dietary restrictions were being met and being entertaining at the same time! We appreciated so much the care and deep experience that the women brought to our special time together and definitely recommend Eleni and her team for anyone considering hiring them for a retreat experience. Thank you so much!!

EXCELLENT! We hired Eleni and Maria to come to our Airbnb villa and cook for our family two separate nights during our vacation. The first night included a cooking class for our family, including our 3 children, and we all had such a fun experience! The second night, we did a bit more relaxing and they cooked for us and it was incredibly delicious! On both occasions they did the shopping, set up, cooked, set the table and served dinner, and cleaned up after! It was such a nice treat for our whole family and we are still dreaming of both meals that they made for us - SO YUMMY! In addition to the food, Eleni and Maria were professional, timely, organized, and most importantly - FUN :) We enjoyed having them in our home so much that we all got a bit sad when they had to leave the second night. We highly recommend this company to any groups in Crete looking for a delicious Greek dining experience. We can't wait to return to the island and work with them again!

Chef Eleni did a wonderful job working with us to plan our special dinner as part of our family gathering in Crete to celebrate our 55th wedding anniversary.  She worked through the complexities of planning for this dinner presented on an Easter Sunday with guests having a variety of food preferences and constraints (accommodating vegetarians, pescatarians, gluten free and serious nut allergies as well as omnivores).  Everyone was very pleased with the quality and quantity of food, the presentation and the timing.  Thanks to Chef Eleni and her wonderful team.

We cannot fault Eleni and her team at all! They were outstanding. We had a group of 19 people and she was amazing. The food was sensational. From starters to the mains everyone said how tasty their meal was. They were punctual, helpful, polite and kind. The food was all cooked fresh in the villa. They displayed it family style for us which was lovely. If we are ever in the area again I would use Eleni and her team.

Eleni and her team were the most wonderful group I have ever had the pleasure of interacting with. They went out of their way to accomodate food allergies and make every single meal special. Our group had 16 people and every breakfast and dinner was right on time and delicious. They provided a wide variety of appetizers and options at each meal and were extremely attentive. I could not recommend Eleni more. I hope to come back and get to have the honor of watching her cook again!

I could not possibly say enough good things about Eleni and the incredible meals that she and her team provided!! Eleni herself is highly professional, incredibly personal, and a skilled chef. The food was high-quality, fresh, and often locally sourced; every meal was a feast with tons of leftovers to save for later. Additionally, she provided options that catered to my gluten intolerance and always talked me through the allergens personally, despite how large our group was! Pricewise, it was more than worth every penny. I would recommend her services to everyone!

We used Eleni for a joint 60th and 30th birthday celebration recently. The whole experience from start to finish was excellent. The menu choices were varied and flexible, Eleni did the shopping and prepared the food wonderfully, and our party of 12 people thought the dishes were delicious. She even decorated the room with banners and left the kitchen spotlessly clean when she left. Many thanks Eleni, to you and your team, for making our big birthday celebration so special.

Incredible experience! The BBQ and side dishes were delicious, cooked perfectly and of really high quality. Very generous portions too. The communication beforehand was excellent, extremely responsive and made everything easy to arrange. Eleni and her assistant were very friendly and the kitchen was left spotless afterwards. It made our birthday celebrations really special. Highly recommend for a great private dining experience!
