History

Established in 2012.

I started this business because of my love of food and the social atmosphere it creates when you get people together (friends, family or even complete strangers!!). «Good Eating» is about selecting, preparing and enjoying the best ingredients available in a relaxing social atmosphere. When we cook meals at home it brings family together. It is about «The Art of Good Eating» not a process to feed our families.

Tom is awesome! I wanted to do a surprise meal/​cooking class for a close friend and Tom was completely into the whole planning process. And not only that, he made suggestions that helped me and my budget. It’s good to know there are honest people still around.
On the day of, he showed on time, came prepared and taught us tips and tricks about cooking and we made a delightful Asian meal together. He cleaned up after and we even asked him to stay for lunch because we really enjoyed his company!
I will definitely be calling Tom again!

Chef Tom prepared a fabulous meal and was very accommodating to the palettes of our guests. Dinner party of 6. We spent time discussing the likes and dislikes of my guests, and he came up with wonderful/​delicious ideas. My personal favorite was the jumbo wrapped scallops in bacon with lemon drizzle. He even cut fresh chives from his garden and put them on it. He explained every course and discussed his cooking techniques with us. We were a very curious group.
He was very personable as well as professional. I would have him back again. If your planning a party, please contact Chef Tom. You won’t be disappointed!

You don’t what your missing until you have chef Tom cook for you. Amazing food ! Very professional and informative. Not only do you get a great meal, you have learned how your meal was prepared. This is a great idea if you have a small group. It was so fun trying something that may never would have before. We all cannot wait to have him back we highly recommend him. Think we will make this a yearly tradition. He was on time and left our kitchen spotless.

Tom is an incredible chef and provides the very best quality. Not only are his meals delicious, but he goes the extra mile to make sure the customer’s dietary requests are met. He is very flexible and professional, but also very friendly and customer oriented. My wife and I feel we are eating like royalty at a reasonable price point when we order meals from Tom.

I hired Tom to make appetizers for my Christmas cocktail party in December of 2014.
Everyone was very impressed with the assortment of delicious appetizers.
He was great to work with. I will definitely hire Tom again for my next party occasion.

I hired Tom to come in and cook for my wife’s 40th birthday. Prior to selecting him I interviewed seven different chefs, reviewed their proposals and menus. What Tom provided from the standpoint of menu options, responsiveness and willingness to be flexible was great. At the party he showed up right on time and got to work. He was very sensitive to to the kitchen and took great care of it. The set up of the food was fantastic and he did a great job of staging out the appetizers (we didn’t have a sit down dinner). The food was fresh, the right temp and very tasty (we ate all of the leftovers the next day). Everyone really loved the Ahi Tuna Poke and the Seared Tenderloin on a Crispy chip (my favorite). All of the food received very positive feedback from our guests. He also provided a great balance of guest interaction while doing his work. He spoke with guests when they asked about the food and even made several on-​the-​spot items to accommodate different dietary restrictions we were unaware of. At the end of service he put the kitchen right back how he found it, wiped the floor down and helped to bus dishes and put them in the dishwasher. I would certainly hire Tom for another of our events and recommend him to anyone looking to throw a private party with a personal touch.
