“Chef Ali is a culinary genius. Her life-long passion and knowledge about food, cooking, and presentation is contagious, and she is never stuck or stale, but always inspired. This made us decide to hire her for two major life occasions: my husband's big birthday, and also our recent Maine wedding, which was vegetarian.
She listens, brings fresh ideas (and ingredients!) to the table, and is open to change, tweaks, and accommodations. And most importantly, her creations are tasty, colorful, and beautifully prepared, and she delivers in a professional and confident manner.
Consider yourself lucky if she is available to cook for your event, and look forward to flavors that will linger long after the meal is over.”
