Chef Sarah Kashani

Chef Sarah was everything I hoped for! I asked Chef Sarah to help me with an early Christmas dinner for my family - 6 adults and 4 kids. My family are somewhat simple eaters, and I asked for a relatively "plain" menu, and yet Chef Sarah made the whole meal feel very special. The presentation was lovely. And the food was beyond delicious. My youngest daughter exclaimed "these are the best mashed potatoes I have ever had!" I was a little concerned that it would feel weird having a chef at our home, but Chef Sarah made us feel very comfortable. And when she left, the house was spotless. It was a wonderful evening, worth every penny, and I would do it again in a heart beat.

Chef Sarah made a tremendously memorable experience for our surprise birthday event. Her dishes are incredibly creative, fresh, and bursting with flavour. I’m pretty sure we could taste the love and care that she invested into her culinary art that we got to indulge on over dinner. She also provided the perfect balance of connecting with us during conversation, while also being attentive to what she was working on. Our young son marvelled at her work and also supported with the finishing touches of our dessert. All in attendance were self-proclaimed “foodies” and all left with massive smiles on their faces and very full bellies!

Sarah was the perfect chef to cook a dinner for myself and 12 of my closest friends for my 30th birthday. It was hosted in a hotel suite, so there was a few limitations within the kitchen but Sarah assured me that would not take away from the food. The dishes were incredible and she explained what was on each plate. The beef short ribs melted in our mouths and every plate was licked clean after the butternut squash ravioli, 10/10. Sarah gave generous portions, we almost had no room for desert. She did everything from plating each dish, washing the dishes inbetween courses and serving us beverages. It was a full service. She worked quickly and at the pace I desired for the dinner. I can’t thank her enough for being the best addition to my birthday and I can’t wait to hire her again!

Sarah was great. Food was really good, too. She's down to earth, really pleasant and made the evening very special for some people who are really important to me. I always thing it's a really cool thing when you're at a restaurant or eating somewhere and the salad or starter stand out more than an already great main. And that's tough to do. Sarah did it. She's terrific and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her. Ask her to make the steak. Was amazing.

We were so grateful to have Sarah cook for us for my friends surprise birthday party. Sarah was INCREDIBLE! She communicated with us and helped us decide the menu beforehand and took the birthday girls favourites into consideration and added personal touches! She had the best energy that was truly infectious and we shared many laughs throughout the evening. The food was impeccable and Sarah was passionate about what she was serving which made all the difference! The kitchen at the end of the night was spotless. We cannot wait to have Sarah cook for us again someday, it was truly an honour and one of the best dining experiences.

Sarah was amazing. She checked all of our boxes off and more during our birthday dinner celebration. We would hire her back in a heartbeat. Thank you again Sarah- the Larmor family

Chef Sarah was amazing! The food was high quality, delicious and beautifully presented. Chef Sarah was always there when needed, she made great suggestions, was very attentive and considerate. She delivered much more than promised. My guests were impressed and I was thrilled! I would not hesitate to recommend Chef Sarah and hope to have her cook for us again.

Chef Sarah did an amazing job for my 50th birthday party! The food was amazing quality, everything was fresh and tasted incredible. I highly recommend the grazing table and the filet mignon family style!

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!

Chef Sarah was a real treat! She had accommodated the menu to some requests and on site she was very professional and the food was incredible! THANKS!

We had an amazing experience with Sarah! She is an incredible chef. She was on-time, prepared and wonderful with our 4 kids running around. She is passionate about cooking and really wants you to have a great tasting experience. She created a fun and relaxed environment. Sarah even insisted on cleaning up and left our kitchen very clean with all the dishes done!! amazing!

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.
