Great experience with Zacki and her team cooking dinner for my daughters graduation dinner. Easy communication, on time, excellent food, kitchen cleaned, great conversation! Zacki has an interesting background and was personable and kind. Highly recommend for any type of dinner party!

Zacki and her team prepared dinner for a group of friends celebrating our 60th birthdays and it was magical. We started with mojitos and a huge tasting board featuring garlic shrimp and dips, all beautifully presented. Zacki was engaging and entertaining. She has a fascinating background. She decorated the house with candles and magnolia leaves and all the food was delicious. Overall it was a very special evening we will all cherish.

We had Chef Zacki at our house to cook and teach us recipes for Hors d'Oeuvres and cocktails – the whole group had a blast! If you are planning a fun gathering, I would highly recommend Zacki!

My wife and I received this as a gift for our 50th anniversary and we couldn't have been more pleased. Chef Zacki and Francesca prepared the perfect meal for this celebration. It was way beyond our expectations!

I had an incredible experience with Chef Zacki for a special dinner for two, packed to-go to fit my busy schedule. The lamb was cooked to perfection—tender and flavorful with a delightful seasoning. The rice was a perfect complement, fluffy and aromatic. But the real star of the evening was the passion fruit mousse; it was light, refreshing, and absolutely delicious. The presentation and attention to detail, not just to the food but to the overall experience, were impeccable. If you're looking for a top-notch personal chef, Zacki is your go-to! Highly recommended for a memorable dining experience.

Zack made the most beautiful gift basket for friends with local produce, homemade jams and chutney, and cheese. It was beautifully decorated and she hand-dropped it off. She is super talented and creative. Zacki was also communicative, clear and responsive throughout the process. I highly recommend her to you!

Delicious food from everything to a summer BLT to Greece's national soup! Also very communicative and easy to get in contact with which is so helpful.

Zacki is the epitome of "Hostess with Mostess!" She is an absolute delight and so are her arrangements. Zacki is experienced and has prepared and arranged food for all kinds of events. Absolutely book her for your next dinner or cocktail party~

I was invited to a private surprise dinner for my best friend's 40th birthday. Chef Zacki was our personal chef for the evening. I was a professional chef for 20 years, but I had never been a guest at an event with a private chef so I was psyched!I had just returned from Paris a month before, so I was excited to hear that the main course that evening would be the classic beef bourguignon. I was hoping the meal would be good but I certainly didn't expect it to compare to the food in France...To my surprise, not only was every course excellent, but the beef bourguignon was FAR SUPERIOR to the one I had just a few weeks early in Montmartre, France (at a restaurant best known for their bourguignon!) It was flavorful and tender, and the accompanying vegetables were perfectly cooked. The other 3 courses were also delicious and as a bonus Chef Zacki is a lovely person! The night was perfect and I absolutely recommend Chef Zacki for any culinary event!

Chef Zacki was a pleasure and a real treat! The food and the service was beyond what I imagined! We decided to make my wife’s 40th birthday dinner a 1920’s dinner ball. We had the library for cocktails and hors d’oeuvres and the dinning room for a formal dinner. Chef and service took care of both rooms making sure all guest had plenty of food and drink. All while ensuring all details from napkins placement, centerpiece and other decorations we placed in just the most perfect way.And the food, oh my!! It was deliciously perfect…and filling! Each course better and better ending with a dessert that was divine!Chef Zacki helped transform my home into a 1920s memory that will be pleasantly thought upon for many years to come.Thank you chef!!

A friend gifted us Dinner at Home by Chef Zacki and it was such a wonderful experience!!! The food was amazing, the chefs were very friendly, and everything was left super clean and tidy. We ate Spanish Tapas - all the food was so beautifully presented and tasty. Five courses later... we couldn't have been happier.

We had Chef Zacki’s team to our home for a casual dinner in with friends. THEY nailed it. The preparation, attention to detail and end product really allowed us to relax and enjoy the time with our guests. You can tell very quickly the vast knowledge and experience they bring to the evening. Definitely looking for another date to get on the calendar soon, World Class Evening!!

Chef Zacki and Francesca were amazing and so was the dinner they prepared for my wife and I 5th year anniversary. Probably the best Italian dishes I have ever had. Will absolutely be recommending and using again.
