Booked the menu Michelin-Inspired Modern Fusion Dinner with Chef Yani in Chicago (Edgewater)

Chef Yani was wonderful! She created a custom menu for our family, based on several preferences. The menu was creative, unique, and most importantly, delicious! She was punctual, polite, and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend!

Booked the menu Gourmet French-Inspired Cuisine with Chef Titik in Evanston

Chef Titik provided us with an absolutely wonderful evening of great food and conversation. The 4-course French inspired meal that she provided and served was outstanding. It truly was a special event to be served by a professional chef, and in the comfort of my own home!
