No More Missed Moments
You sat back down at the table after refilling the salad dressing and just as you reach for your fork, the oven timer goes off.
You jump up from the table again to make sure the dessert doesn't burn.
From the kitchen, you hear everyone burst out in laughter, but you missed it.
Wouldn't you rather relax and enjoy delicious food and delightful conversation while someone else takes care of the meal?
Planning, shopping, chopping, preparing, cooking, serving, and cleaning up is a LOT to take on when you want to connect with friends, family, or colleagues over a delicious meal.
Taste Fusion is a personal chef service based in Columbia, South Carolina. We happily serve delicious food throughout the Southeast including South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Alabama.
I'm Chef Renée, and I'll take it from here.
I'll handle all the details so you can focus on your people and enjoy an unforgettable meal experience together.
Taste Fusion is where culture meets cuisine.
Connect with others through the common language of food and bring back memories while creating new ones.
They may not remember everything that was said, but they'll remember the food.
Fresh
We source only the freshest ingredients - never processed, and we are familiar with special dietary needs such as low-carb, keto, paleo, vegan, and gluten-free.
Comforting
No matter where you're from, when you and your guests sit down to a meal we've prepared, you're going to feel right at home. We'll custom create a menu that's a perfect fit for you and your guests, whether that means Modern American, Asian, French, Italian, South American, European, or Mediterranean cuisines.
Stress-Free
We'll handle EVERYTHING down to the tiniest detail, so you can focus on connecting with your guests over a delicious meal and great conversation.
Our company had the pleasure of working with Chef Renée for a critical government dinner and she was absolutely fantastic. Our guests and staff were impressed with the delicious menu she offered. I highly recommend Taste Fusion!

Frequently Asked Questions
-
When you prepare a meal, do you use my kitchen?Because I'm a personal chef and not a caterer, all meals must be prepared either in a home kitchen or in a DHEC-approved commercial kitchen. If your business facility does not have an adequate kitchen, let's talk to create a custom solution for you.
-
Do you provide the pots, pans, plates, silverware, and glassware?We typically use whatever cookware, plates, silverware, and glasses you currently have on hand, but we can provide them for you upon request.
-
Where do you purchase your ingredients?We search for the freshest items, purchased from local farmers and trustworthy companies so we always cook for you with the highest quality, locally sourced ingredients available.
-
Do you have a limit of the number of people you'll serve?You can book a private dinner of 2-5 guests, and a dinner party of 10-30 guests, however, let's talk and once we learn more about your specific event, we'll let you know if we are a good fit.
-
What if a guest is late?We serve the first course approximately 15 minutes after the time on the dinner party invitation. If a guest misses a course because they arrive after that time, we will not interrupt the flow of service. The guest is welcome to join everyone and wait until the next course is served.
-
Do you offer your services outside of the Columbia, South Carolina area? Are you willing to travel?Yes! We love to travel. We serve guests in South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, and Alabama and apply a travel fee if you are located over 50 miles from Columbia, South Carolina. Please contact us for more information.
-
Do I get to discuss menu ideas with you?Of course! Just head over to the Contact page and select Book a Call. Discussing menu ideas with my clients is one of my favorite things to do! Be on the lookout - I'll have a sample menu posted on the website soon.
