We cook across the Palos Verdes Peninsula, from Lunada Bay and Malaga Cove in Palos Verdes Estates to Rancho Palos Verdes, Rolling Hills and Rolling Hills Estates, and in nearby Manhattan Beach and the South Bay. Gated roads, gate codes and long driveways are a normal week, and we’ll set up access before the first visit. Most clients aren’t home during service.
