What’s your signature dish?
I have deep appreciation to vibrant flavors and wholesome ingredients so i perfected the art of Mediterranean cuisine. My signature dishes are a harmonious symphony of fresh herbs, ripe tomatoes, fragrant olive oil, and exotic spices. Each plate is a delightful journey through the Mediterranean, capturing the essence of its diverse cultures.
For example, I will make roasted vegetable mezze platter that showcases the abundance of the Mediterranean. Colorful bell peppers, zucchini, and eggplant are roasted to perfection, releasing their natural sweetness. These tender vegetables are then paired with creamy hummus and rich tahini sauce, creating a medley of textures and tastes that are both comforting and exotic.
How do you go about creating the perfect menu for your clients?
I work with my clients and create the menu of their dream. I do not have set menus but will share what i have done in the past and find out who will be there and if there is any food restrictions.
What do you love most about your job?
What I love most about my job is the incredible opportunity it affords me to energize people with my dishes. It's not just about cooking food; it's about creating memorable experiences, sparking joy, and nourishing both body and soul through the power of flavor.
There's something profoundly satisfying in knowing that with every dish I prepare, I have the ability to infuse energy and vitality into someone's day. It's like sharing a piece of my passion and creativity with each person who sits down to enjoy a meal I've crafted. Whether it's the vibrant colors of a fresh salad, the comforting aroma of a hearty stew, or the exotic spices that transport taste buds to distant lands, my dishes are designed to awaken the senses and invigorate the spirit.
Seeing the smiles on people's faces as they take their first bite, hearing their enthusiastic compliments, and witnessing the positive impact that a well-prepared meal can have on their overall well-being is what truly fuels my culinary journey. I find immense satisfaction in knowing that I can contribute to someone's day by providing them with a delicious, thoughtfully prepared meal that not only satisfies their hunger but also uplifts their mood and energy levels.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I am very organized and a go getter so it was a no brainer for me. I also love to make my own schedule.
Why should our clients choose you?
Because there are very few chefs that are also certified and licensed nutritionist and you are what you eat after all. also they can count on no drama and upscale services.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes i do offer classes online and i do travel within the USA and abroad for big jobs
