Testimonials

"Cliff created a wonderful Asian menu for us, and the whole process was such a joy. From brainstorming ideas together to matching the dishes to the flavors we love, it was a truly collaborative and fun experience. Watching Cliff prepare our personal dinner right in our kitchen was fascinating, and the lively conversation made it even better. The food was absolutely amazing, and the service was top-notch. I would definitely use Cliff’s services again—and I highly recommend him!"

"I had several failed attempts at going vegan before working with Cliff. Each time, I ended up feeling weak and frustrated. Cliff took the time to truly listen—understanding my concerns and past roadblocks—and together we created a simple, flexible approach that removed all the guesswork from my meals and snacks.

Because there were no rigid rules, I didn’t feel deprived or resistant. I had the freedom to include meat if I wanted, but I found myself naturally craving it less.

Three months later, I was astounded when my bloodwork showed my cholesterol had dropped by 30 points—a change I had been trying to achieve for two years with no success! Best of all, this way of eating felt sustainable.

Although I originally promised to ‘just give it a try,’ this is now simply part of my life. Chef Cliff, thank you for making my transition easy, enjoyable, and accessible."

"Unrefined Herbivore catered my 50th birthday party, and it was an absolute success! Not only did they create the most incredible vegan dishes, but they also stepped in to help with a last-minute crisis that nearly caused the party to be cancelled.

The personalized touches were unforgettable— from a custom menu to childhood photos woven into the food presentation. It was both meaningful and visually stunning. The dishes were so delicious that most guests could hardly believe they were entirely vegan and gluten-free!

Chef Cliff has a true gift for creating food that is both delectable and beautiful. On my special day, I felt like a queen. I would 100% choose Unrefined Herbivore again for any special occasion!"

"The experience was unforgettable—from the warm, inviting ambiance to the beautiful presentation of every dish. As someone with egg and dairy allergies, it’s rare to find food that is both completely safe and absolutely delicious. Every bite was a delight, and the vegan lasagna was so good I still dream about it! Each dish was crafted with care, skill, and creativity, making this a truly standout culinary experience."

"I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing the full range of services the talented Unrefined Herbivore offers. His efficient meal prepping came perfectly labeled and tailored to my athletic, high-protein needs. His in-kitchen meal preparation for a client was not only delicious but also fun and informative for everyone involved.

The intimate dinners were elevated with thoughtful touches that made the entire ambiance feel perfectly aligned, while the cocktail party featured him and his team providing live cooking entertainment alongside trays of mouthwatering vegan finger foods, served seamlessly indoors and out.

As someone new to veganism for Chronic Kidney Disease, his nutrition coaching has been patient, non-judgmental, and incredibly supportive—offering active guidance and making adjustments as needed to fit my busy schedule.

Overall, I highly recommend embarking on any and all Flavorful Journeys with Unrefined Herbivore!"
