Testimonials

  • Lily was awesome! She cooked an absolutely wonderful multi course dinner for my family in our home for Mother’s Day. Extremely responsive, punctual, and the best part was that she was very open to personalization. The end result was a phenomenal dinner that was just to our liking in every way possible. I will without a doubt be repeating with Lily!

  • “Lily arrived right on time and started prepping for our sushi making party. She was friendly, courteous and professional and all 10 of the guests (who were in their mid twenties) loved her. All the food was fresh and delicious and she made the experience easy and fun for everyone. I will definitely hire her again!”
