We had a wonderful team-building session with Chef Maryam. Her home setting made this experience all the more lovely, as you get to see what a professional chef's home kitchen looks like! Chef Maryam's passion for cooking shines through her lesson and conversation, and her knowledge is incredible. She got everyone involved in the prepping and cooking process, and gave us insightful tips along the way to make home cooking easier and much, much tastier. And don't get me started on how delicious the 4-course meal was!

I attended the Elevated Italian Feast class for a team bonding activity, and it was such a delight to work with Chef Maryam. She is clearly passionate about food, cooking, and making a positive experience for her guests. I learned so many helpful tips and tricks too! I would recommend this experience to anyone looking for a unique group activity. Thanks Chef Maryam!

Chef Maryam was friendly, knowledgeable, and took the entire cooking and dining experience into account when she was sharing her expertise with us, from choosing ingredients to preparing them to tips and tricks for making dinner parties as stress-free as possible. I would highly recommend her to anyone interested in cooking, fine dining, and being an excellent host!

We went to Chef Maryam's for our team day this year and had an absolute blast. Chef Maryam and her home were incredibly inviting and she quickly created a relaxed atmosphere for our team of 6 to learn, connect and enjoy. She was so knowledgeable and happy to teach us big and small tips and tricks to improve our cooking. Her credentials are also astounding - there truly isn't anything she can't do! The most important part: the menu was creative and SO delicious. My favorite part of the experience was sitting down together to eat all the amazing dishes. Thank you Chef Maryam for an amazing day and HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for a personal cooking class experience or a private chef.

Chef Maryam created a meal to remember. Special for so many reason, we were delighted to enjoy the sumptuous flavours of every dish, each one incredibly unique in presentation and taste. Chef Maryam paced the evening with perfection and we were able to dine in comfort in our own home savouring each course with delight. She was thoughtful, and generous not only with the food but also in sharing her stories of success and her aspirations as a chef. We will be cheering for you!

Chef Maryam went above and beyond for our corporate dinner. She fed a team of executives an amazing, expertly presented & impeccably organized meal - that was just delicious! Every course was thoughtfully designed and looked like it was plucked straight out of a photo shoot. She served a generous amount at each course and included gourmet touches such as house-marinated artichokes and homemade feta. Cannot recommend highly enough! The budget was reasonable and she exceeded our expectations! Thank you!

We had the pleasure of Maryam preparing Mother’s Day lunch for us! Each dish was made from scratch and super flavourful. It was nice to sit back and enjoy a delicious meal with no dishes to do afterwards. Highly recommend!.

Chef Maryam, what a delight it was to have you cook up a beautiful meal for our sister's birthday. You were kind and pleasant and brought such a positive experience. We loved that you were able to accommodate the keto request. It was a night we surely won't forget!

Maryam came to my home to cook a special anniversary dinner for me and my husband. She arrived with all her cooking necessities and ingredients and was very professional. She cooked a four course meal fresh with the freshest ingredients and high-quality taste. Not only did she serve us but she cleaned up after us and left my kitchen as if she wasn’t even there. My husband and I highly recommend her to friends and family and we would definitely consider hiring her again!
