We planned a 70th birthday week long getaway for my wife Marjorie her children from New York and friends from Miami here in Raleigh. To top it off we scheduled a dinner for everyone to celebrate. While checking Thumbtack, found a lovely website " Zacki's Culinary Creations " Zacki and her assistant Gigi came on the date and at the appointed time. We had picked from a myriad of menu options a meal that gave everyone what they loved. Zacki and GiGi prepared everything to perfection ! Pre dinner drinks, appetizers, and a wonderful meal, and afterward a fantastic,made from scratch, chocolate desert. Zacki and GiGi were delightful, professional, and fun. They felt like family too by the time it was over. We all felt we received much more than a birthday dinner. It will remain an Event we'll remember for a lifetime.

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 6 - 10 guests • Dinner • Premium (high end ingredients) • Dessert • Cold beverages (non-alcoholic) • Hot beverages (coffee, tea, etc.) • Italian • Mediterranean / Middle Eastern • Asian • American - formal • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

Ahhhhh, Thank you Dear Lloyd. We will be talking about this wonderful "Cook In Your Nook" for a long time...and "How you made GiGi and I feel" as part of the family!

Zacki responded quickly and professionally. Our event was wonderful. We had delicious food which was prepared and presented beautifully! In addition, she and her assistant are a joy and our dinner guests enjoyed their presence in addition to the food. In our case, she provided her "Cook in your Nook" experience and prepared a meal for 18 colleagues at our home. She offers other options as well, and I highly recommend her services!

Details: Brunch / dinner party • 11 - 20 guests • Dinner • Premium (high end ingredients) • Dessert • American - casual • Mexican / Latin American • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • I travel to the personal chef • The personal chef travels to me

Zacki was absolutely fabulous! She helped us honor our mom for a 70th birthday party! The food was delicious, the service and professionalism was top notch, and I am already trying to think of another event we can hire her for. I highly recommend!!! THANK you for making the night so special, and giving us one of the best meals, that on restaurant could compete with. Darbee Jackson
