Chef Sarah Kashani

My Husband’s 60th Birthday Surprise Dinner. Now at this age, for us, material items are no longer important. It’s about building memories. As Chef Sarah stated, it’s about the food, the music, the ambiance, the people for her when she does this. Boy did I ever pick this one right. At first, being type “A" personality I was worried. I wanted everything to be perfect, I wanted to show my husband just how much I love him by doing this surprise dinner. Various roads led me to Take a Chef but I had never heard about them nor do I know how they work. With all the scamming happening in the world, after I dropped my hard earned savings into this process (because you have to pay up front) I was worried I had become a victim of an online scam. The limited communication and some of it in Spanish and on European time, I thought, confirmed what I was worried about. Then I spoke to Chef Sarah. She immediately settled my fears and talked me through the process. Her larger than life personality I knew she was going to be the perfect fit for my larger than life Italian family. She had so much love and patience with my mother who has dementia all the while being able to handle my family and their comments and still putting out amazing food. For us food is very important and we profess to have high foodie standards and the food did not disappoint. But for our family it was the relationship and connection with the chef that made the night absolutely magical. Life is not complete until you have had Chef Sarah's empanadas with chimichurri sauce. Her short ribs were mind blowing. Everything she cooked danced on our tongues, even for the most fussiest of eaters in our family. She made us laugh and cry with very full stomaches, but most of all she made this the most memorable night. A night we will not soon forget.

Sarah was an absolute delight to work with. Our meal was incredible from start to finish. She went the extra mile to ensure all dietary needs were accommodated; she was engaging; and she left the kitchen sparkling clean! We cannot recommend her enough. Thanks for making our evening so special!

Chef Kashani was amazing! From the first to the last moment, we knew we are in good hands for my wife’s birthday dinner. The dishes looked and tasted phenomenal, her crab cannelloni went straight to my top 5 of dishes ever. She cooked, served, explained, joked, checked on us and cleaned every piece of cutlery and cooking utensils she used…I am still not fully sure how she did it. Absolute Magic! 100% recommend and will be a return customer for sure. Ty for everything!

Sarah arrived on time, and was extremely friendly. She explained any and all questions, both days before and on the day of. Our guests were aged 7-70 and she was engaging with each and every one. Every single one of us said the dinner was hands down the best turkey ever eaten. Was very attentive and flexible with our needs. Presentation was absolutely beautiful, and each and every item was scrumptious and flavourful. We will definitely be having Sarah back.

Chef Sarah Kashani was an absolute pleasure! She listened to what we wanted and curated a fabulous meal for our anniversary! Every meal she served was top quality and outstanding. The oysters and caviar were delightful, we had the best lobster bisque ever! The crab ravioli was on a whole other level! The short rib and foraged mushrooms were outstanding! I absolutely loved the creaminess and perfection of our crème brule dessert! Sarah is super fun and really elevated our evening. 5 stars for food, quality, and personality!!

Sarah was just amazing, we had her over for dinner and from the minute she walked in, I knew we were in for a fun experience. From the unique menu, the on-point presentation, her big personality, lively conversation and the tasty and extraordinary food! We had such a lovely evening.

Chef Sarah gave us an amazing culinary experience for our company Christmas party. Every dish was delicious! There was a last minute food allergy presented and Chef Sarah adapted quickly and made the meal work for everyone. It was a pleasure having her do her magic in our home. Thanks chef Sarah!!

Amazing dinner and 60th birthday celebration. Memorable and delicious! My four adult kids, wife and I all debated which course was the favourite. All were fantastic. Great portions, presentation and quality ingredients. And Sarah was a lively, lovely and engaging guest in our home.

Sarah was friendly,fun and an amazing chef! Had a great meal and did not have to worry about a thing! Would do it again for sure! Thank you

Chef Sarah was the key to giving my mom an amazing 75th birthday. A delicious 5 course meal made with ingredients picked fresh the day before. She was fun and entertaining and talked to my mom - who loves to cook - about the culinary art. One of the best parts was she went at our pace spending well over 5 hours with my family. By the time she left, everything had been cleaned and put away leaving no trace other than 7 happy adults, and even a 10 year old picky eater. Thank you Chef Sarah for making my mom’s birthday such a special experience for all.
