Personal Chefs in Norwalk, CT

My passion for cooking had started from childhood, inherited from my Russian Moroccan parents, who are also in the culinary arts. Since then many years have passed but my passion of cooking stayed the same. I have gained experience working in some of the top restaurants in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, and currently New York City.

I currently work as a private chef for an actress at a film set. I am a passionate cook with a hospitality degree. I took culinary and baking classes in college. I cooked for families throughout college, bartended in NYC, and started writing a food blog. I run my own business, cook for my client at the movie set on weekdays and cater private events on weekends. I also hold a WSET Level 2 Wine certification and offer wine & food pairing dinner option. In addition to my own business, I work for some of the best catering companies in NYC as an event chef. All I do is cook, bake, blog about food, and eat out to be inspired. I am a culinary volunteer at the NYC Wine and Food Festival and Napa Valley festival. I specialize in Eastern European cooking but I love to make dishes of other countries as well. My favorite cuisine is Mid-Eastern. I hold a NYS Food Handler’s License and SafeServ certification. I am also a TIPS-certified bartender.

I've dedicated my life to people who want to sit down and have a fantastic meal! From years of education, managing kitchens, running restaurants to catering, I have developed and mastered my craft in Culinary Arts. I'll do whatever it takes to make sure you are happy and full!
