We had the private surf and turf tasting experience with chef Huda and we highly recommend it! Chef Huda knows her way around a kitchen and got to work immediately preparing our meal. We had the beat salad, oysters, ribeye steak, and lemon tart. Everything was delicious and plated beautifully. She even served us. The seasoning on the steak was perfect. Beforehand, chef Huda provided me with wine pairing recommendations which was very helpful. I cant wait to try another of her experiences.

We booked Chef Huda for a private dinner at home. From her menu, we selected the Kale Caesar Salad, the Scallops & Risotto, and Olive Oil cake. Everything was outstanding - so delicious and flavorful. We saved a bit out of meal so we could enjoy it again the next day. Chef Huda also prepared the food very quickly, and made sure to clean the kitchen before leaving. I would highly recommend, and would book her again.

Chef Huda prepared an amazing birthday dinner for my fiancé and I! Every dish was beautifully presented, perfectly seasoned, and absolutely delicious. She was professional, efficient, and left everything spotless after the meal. The entire experience felt special and well worth it. My only two critiques are that the crème brûlée wasn't fully set. Huda let us know when she served it, but it was a small disappointment after an otherwise flawless meal. Also, the experience lasted about 1.5 hours instead of the 2 hours that was advertised. Neither issue took away from how great the food was, but I think it's helpful for future clients to know. Overall, I would definitely recommend Huda for anyone looking for a talented private chef!

My father, his new wife and I took the Asian Fusion cooking class with Huda, and it was AMAZING! She was very personable, communicated nicely and we truly enjoyed our time with her. The food was delicious and we were certainly full towards the end. She came very prepared and was a pleasure to have in our home. We would highly recommend Huda to anyone who is just starting to cook or highly experienced. Cheers to Huda!

My experience with Chef Huda was absolutely amazing!!!! This was my first time booking a class and she exceeded what I had in my mind. Not only is she very pleasant, she explains things step by step, she is patient (cause we ain’t chefs), and she is sooo sweet! We did the pasta experience, but I’m excited to do some more. We will definitely book with her again! Thanks Chef Huda, see you soon!

Chef Huda was absolutely wonderful to say the least. Not only was each course of the meal fantastic and on point for the Mediterranean menu, but the Chef herself is a wonderful person to spend an evening with. The entire process was so easy and enjoyable from start to finish and I couldn't recommend it or Chef Houda more. Fantastic night all around.

Chef Huda is the best!!! I had bought a cooking class for my boyfriend’s birthday and I don’t know how I’ll be able to top the experience. Chef Huda is hilarious, kind, and patient, making the class so much fun and manageable. Not to mention the food was DELICIOUS! We finished everything and have been craving the food ever since. Luckily, with chef Huda, we now know how to make it! Take a class with her and you won’t be disappointed. We love you Chef Huda!
