Chef At Home in Rockford
Get to know me better
I bring people together through food — where every dish carries a story, and every meal feels like home
Hello! I’m Chef Ihsan Abualia, a professionally trained chef and proud graduate of Le Cordon Bleu, one of the most prestigious culinary schools in the world. With years of hands-on experience in fine dining, catering, and private chef services, I specialize in bringing elevated, unforgettable meals straight to your table — wherever you are.
I founded my own catering company and have served clients at weddings, corporate events, and private dinner parties, always with a focus on hospitality, flavor, and presentation. My style blends classical French technique with the rich, bold flavors of the Mediterranean and Middle East — especially dishes from my Palestinian heritage.
Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion, traveling with family, or simply craving something unique during your Airbnb stay, I’ll create a personalized, chef-curated experience just for you.
More about me
For me, cooking is...
The language of the soul. It speaks when words fall short — with spice, with aroma, with warmth — and it brings people together in most human way.
I learned to cook at...
I learned to cook at Le Cordon Bleu, but my first lessons were at home — watching, tasting, and falling in love with the flavors of my heritage.
A cooking secret...
My secret in the kitchen is that I cook with all five senses — and a sixth one: emotion. That’s what turns a meal into a memory.
