I’m a professional chef with a deep passion for the kitchen. I earned my degree in Culinary Management from the Art Institutes, but my love for cooking began in childhood. Growing up as the eldest of five siblings, I naturally took on the role of family cook, experimenting with flavors and dishes to bring everyone together. Catering is a particular joy for me, as it allows me to showcase my hospitality and create memorable experiences through food.

From a young age, I understood that food is my love language—it’s how I connect with others and express my care. This realization motivated me to explore various cuisines, techniques, and presentation styles, always striving to elevate the dining experience. Whether it’s crafting a gourmet meal or a comforting dish, I find fulfillment in the artistry of cooking and the joy it brings to those I serve. My culinary journey is driven by a desire to feed not just the body, but the soul.

For me, cooking is...

Our Chef was professional, punctual and flexible - willing to work with on our menu choices. Food was amazing! and the clean up was spot on! She was kind and obviously passionate about her food! Would definitely use her again.

I communicated with Chef Abrar ahead of time through the website messaging and later by text. I wanted a Mediterranean dinner for extended family, and Chef Abrar already had a Mediterranean menu that she presented to me. We were able to modify it for my personal tastes and for gluten free and red- meat free guests. Because we were able to text, I felt reassured about what was planned for the meal and the event. She grilled the meats on the barbeque grill, and they were delicious. The dinner itself went smoothly and the food a glorious feast. I really appreciated Chef Abrar, because she was both professional and a pleasure to work with. Best of all the kitchen was clean and everything in order at the end of the meal. I highly recommend her.

We had a wonderful experience. Highly recommend! Abrar was awesome!

Chef Abrar went above and beyond to accomodate a gluten free and vegan friendly menu for us. She was extremely professional and provided us a very memorable experience for a birthday celebration . We highly recommend her services.
