   Your feedback is very important to me, so here are a few of the many reviews that I have received from my clients over the years. I encourage you to check them out, and as always, personal references are furnished upon request.

Hi Chef Tim,  Thank you for all your superb service and professionalism in making my husband’s birthday party such a smashing success. It was an amazing evening!   All the colorfully delicious foods that you prepared were absolutely fabulous, everyone said they enjoyed them so. The appetizers were a huge hit and the comments on the grilled meats and all the accompaniments were super complimentary as well. People have asked for your contact details, which I’m sure is Ok to give out!!  Thank you so much for your hard work and it was so perfect, exactly what we had hoped it would be. You are a very talented Chef. Thanks so much again, if there is anything I can do for you, please let me know.                                                                                                                                                                                                                           Our very Best,                                                                                                                                                                                                               Patsy and Jim

Chef Tim was a god send after my strokes.  Don't know what I would do without his '5-star meals'.  Every time I eat one, I automatically murmur out loud, "mmmm-mm" after the first bite I take and 2 - 3 more times while eating!  It's that delicious, even with my low sodium requirements.  I never did that before, even at the finest restaurants.                                                                                                                   Gail Kershner Riggs, 1982 Tucson's Woman of the Year

Chef Tim is amazing with his cooking talent. I wasn't quite sure what I wanted to serve, but after receiving his suggestions, I then had too much to choose from as they all sounded wonderful! So we worked out a menu, and my guests were more than pleased. Tim is easy to work with....he takes the time to explain all in detail. Prices are quite affordable, and not having to clean up is very nice.                                    Judy Luce, Tucson, AZ

Chef Tim Vogl is simply the best! For over a decade, we have happily grazed on his culinary delights as guests at a number of his catered events and in his home, which is comparable to dining at one of the best restaurants in Tucson! Tim's pleasant and playful personality is reflected in an impressive array of savory creations and artful presentations. He thoroughly enjoys the process, and his customers call on him time and time again, which speaks volumes.                                                                                                                                                           Lou Tudor & Charlie Sparr, Tucson, AZ

Chef Tim Vogl was my pick for my birthday dinner several years ago. His presentation is gorgeous, his food is delicious and he comes prepared, and cleans up beautifully. He has a wide range of menus and price ranges. It is a pleasure to have him in our home. And several of our guests have hired him for birthdays, weddings and even home delivered meals for busy working folks.                                               Pam Lopes, Tucson, AZ

If you enjoy food that you 'eat with your eyes' & beyond delicious, you would be well taken care of by Chef Tim.  Food + personality plus. Bon appetit with A Culinary Affair & Chef Tim.                                                                                                                                                                     Rich Roth, Tubac, AZ

Chef Tim Vogl is a great chef!  He will work with any menu you desire and his presentation is beautiful. He has catered many special occasions for me and I have always been delighted with the freshness and flavor of the food. Now that's some good gourmet cooking!    Mary Ann Ahrens, Tucson, AZ
