5/5 Miguel
Chef Kashani made our event incredibly special. Her cooking genuinely blew our minds and her personality made the whole experience extremely fun. I couldn’t recommend her enough for any event.
5/5 Dolly – Dec 22
Chef Sarah is exceptional in so many ways. She is personable when needed, quiet when needed, helpful, and an extremely talented chef. Her dishes stole the show. Each was bursting with flavor. Highly recommend it!
5/5 Michael – June 22
Chef Sarah was the key to giving my mom an amazing 75th birthday. A delicious 5 course meal made with ingredients picked fresh the day before. She was fun and entertaining and talked to my mom – who loves to cook – about the culinary art. One of the best parts was she went at our pace spending well over 5 hours with my family. By the time she left, everything had been cleaned and put away leaving no trace other than 7 happy adults, and even a 10 year old picky eater. Thank you Chef Sarah for making my mom’s birthday such a special experience for all.

5/5 Paul – Dec 22
Amazing dinner and 60th birthday celebration. Memorable and delicious! My four adult kids, wife and I all debated which course was the favourite. All were fantastic. Great portions, presentation and quality ingredients. And Sarah was a lively, lovely and engaging guest in our home.

Sarah was just amazing, we had her over for dinner and from the minute she walked in, I knew we were in for a fun experience. From the unique menu, the on-point presentation, her big personality, lively conversation and the tasty and extraordinary food! We had such a lovely evening.
