Having Chef Ken Harper at our party made the event so much more successful. Not only was every morsel of food absolutely delicious, but Ken served as a charming and entertaining element as well. I have since recommended Ken to friends and they, too, have enjoyed having him cook and serve tasty gourmet fare in their homes. I look forward to the next opportunity to welcome Ken into my kitchen.

Ken has provided outstanding catering for my company when we have hosted major business partners and clients many times over the past several years. We own an exclusive corporate retreat in Ontario, where we bring our most important business associates. One of the major distinctions of the retreat is the outstanding cuisine that Ken provides. He is truly gifted as a chef, and he has an impressive ability to handle large and complex assignments. In all of this, Ken shows the kind of professionalism and talent that I have seen over the years displayed by chefs at my favorite restaurants, which include some of the finest and most celebrated establishments in the world.

I have taken more than 10 cooking classes taught by Ken and I learned a great deal at every one of them. During each class we practiced various cooking techniques and prepared a selection of dishes, gaining valuable hands-on experience. I also picked up many useful tips just by listening to Ken’s conversation throughout the class. I make the recipes we learned over and over.

Ken,
On behalf of Viva la wedding, I wanted to thank you for helping to make Kim and Derek’s wedding day a success.
Despite the short timelines we were given to plan their day you were able to put together a fantastic menu with ease, provide serving staff that were both personable and professional, and take care of any rentals we required. From the fabulous seafood cocktail hour with vodka martini luge to the mouth watering five course dinner, everything was perfect.
It was a sheer pleasure to work with you and we’re happy to add such a talented caterer to our preferred vendor list. We’re looking forward to working with Chop Chop in the future!
Thanks again,
Joan-Anne Cantley

Ken has catered three of our corporate events, and each time guests have raved about the food. (In fact, at the last we had a traffic jam around the guacamole!) He’s a gifted chef and a real professional—flexible, friendly and reliable. He tailors his menus to meet our needs, tastes and budgets. We’ve really appreciated his commitment to helping make our events successful.

Ken gave a cooking lesson to our two grandchildren (ages 7 and 9) at our home and they had a wonderful time. They helped him pick vegetables and herbs from the garden and to prepare a wonderful feast of spaghetti, beans, salad and peach crisp, which they then proudly served to their guests. We all learned a lot and made some wonderful memories.

I asked Ken to cater a reception in our home following the funeral of a family member. On very short notice, he looked after everything, from buying and preparing the food to setting up a beautiful buffet table. The food was delicious and everything was spotless when he left. He made a very stressful day so much easier for me and my family.

We loved working with Ken Harper and Chop Chop for our party. The food was just fabulous and plentiful while the service and clean up were faultless. We’ve put Chop Chop on our speed dial!

Ken Harper and Chop Chop came through at the last minute for an excellent, home-cooked, Thanksgiving dinner that truly accented our special family holiday!

This past Christmas I used Chop Chop to cater our annual staff party of 50 people; food and service were exceptional. Our guests have been assured that Chop Chop will return next December

Ken and his server Cory put on a wonderful brunch in our home for my husband’s birthday. His professional, courteous style and great cooking made it a memorable and hassle free event, not to mention the spotless kitchen he left behind!
