  • Tobin’s gluten free (Cornmeal) waffles…
    Amazing!!! After not being able to enjoy waffles for so long I was thrilled!
    I ate a full stack I loved them so much. And I keep going back for more!
    Thank you Tobin for bringing this treat back for me!

Deva T.

  • Chef Tobin is our new go-to for hearty meals and delicious treats.
    As omnivores, we also love eating vegan and vegetarian, and Chef Tobin is now top-of-mind for easy solutions and a winning menu.

Jen & Larry

Encino

  • We have been enjoying Tobin’s food for several years now. My husband and I eat a Plant Based Whole Food diet…in layman’s terms…a vegan diet.

    Tobin has made us many meals and special treats from his ever-increasing repertoire that have all been fantastic! In addition to tasting delicious, they are healthy and nutritious.
    Some of our favorites, in no particular order:
    * His Magic Frozen Oatmeal “cups” that we throw in our freezer and take out as desired for breakfast. Plump full of oats, raisins, cinnamon, sliced almonds, sweetened only with date syrup, with fresh berries on top.
    * Asian stir fry with soy curls (you’d swear you were eating meat!) Served with fried rice.
    * Vegan Tuna AND Vegan Egg Salad both with just the right seasonings. It’s not easy to find fillings to make a good old-fashioned sandwich with yummy hearty bread!

Amy & Mark F.

  • We were lucky enough to dine on Chef Tobin’s delicious creations. We especially enjoyed the truly magical frozen oatmeal cups, the delicious BFF stew and the tandoori chickpeas. Topping it all off with the old-fashioned fudge. What a delight! We highly recommend Chef Tobin.

  • Chef Tobin, Thank you so much for the incredible Manicotti, with fresh salad and your wonderful Caesar dressing which we served last night. I just finished the last of the Magic Frozen Oatmeal Cups– mmm so delicious! Please make sure to add those to my up-coming order.
