Chef At Home In Asheville

I am a home cook with professional kitchen experience. I have lived in many parts of the world and like to draw my inspiration from international cuisines. I have been cooking professionally for 20 years. I love cooking south east Asian cuisine and Mediterranean, but can also draw from the classic European tradition.

For me, cooking is...

Fun, relaxing, a creative outlet

I learned to cook at...

Various restaurants, grandmas,

A cooking secret...

Caramelizing, using fresh herbs, balancing the 4 flavors

Ofri was extremely attentive in advance of our dinner, with great recommendations and follow up questions to ensure she got everything right. The food, preparation and presentation was first class. She was a delight to talk to, she paced the courses well, and left us with a spotless kitchen. Great experience all around!

I would absolutely recommend Chef Ofri! She was perfect for my bachelorette party at-home dinner. The entire house smelt amazing and the food was delicious. We messaged a few times back and forth to coordinate the menu and she always responded in a timely manner which made me feel comfortable. She took care of the clean up and overall was a pleasure to have.
