I love working with Irina! She is such a great chef but it's the details that make a difference. She cares so much to know about our specific personal preferences, she comes up with unique recipes above and beyond what we request and she's so easy to communicate with. I would recommend her to any one!

I cannot say enough good things about Chef Irina. She and Alex made my birthday absolutely perfect. I spoke with so many chefs and no one gave me the right vibe but when I came across Chef Irina's profile I had a good feeling. She responded to me right away and I immediately knew she was the one. Her and I chatted about my event and vision and she made it come to life more than I could have even dreamed of. Her courses were delicious, her tablescape was incredibly stunning and I was even surprised with a beautiful birthday cake! All my friends loved her and she felt like part of the family even though we had just met. I would recommend Chef Irina to anyone looking for a private chef. She's truly talented, professional and has an amazing personality. Thank you, Chef Irina and Alex, for making my birthday magical! <3

Well I want to check all 5! Chef Irene was fantastic! We had such an amazing meal! She did a fantastic job with everything. Truly loved that she made up her own menu after we spoke about what I was looking for. She had several food allergies to work around but made a menu that was suited for all. She was also able to pull off a last minute surprise birthday cake for our group! I HIGHLY recommend Chef Irene!!!

Chef Irina’s food was delectable! We had the pleasure of having Chef Irina for a birthday surprise dinner and her dishes were something special. Not only was she a delight to communicate with, she also listened to our wants and dietary restrictions creating an unforgettable meal.
