Chef Tareef Muhammad

Personal Chef In Virginia Beach

I'm a professional chef with 18 yrs in the industry and still love to learn and recreate classics and innovative masterpieces. My biggest critics are my daughter and my son. I am a single father with a passion for healing with food. I have worked in over 10 restaurants boasting every type of cuisine from Thai, Chinese, Mediterranean, Italian, Creole, or Fine dining and Rustic American since the beginning of my career. This was to ensure I can receive knowledge and skills from a variety of great chefs.

For me, cooking is...

therapy and my livelihood.

I learned to cook at...

I had the great opportunity of attending Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts in Orlando, Florida.

A cooking secret...

Have a great time and taste everything.

Chef Tareef exceeded our expectations! It was my husband and I’s first experience having a private chef cook for us and it was for our anniversary. He was engaging and was comfortable to have him in our home! My husband and I loved every single dish and left me speechless and my husband was blown away as well! We will def be using him for future services! Highly recommend!

Exceeded all of our expectations! Service was above and beyond, presentation was stunning, food quality was superb and every dish was absolutely delicious! Chef was pleasant and engaging throughout the entire evening and left the kitchen spotless! It was the highlight of our vacation week.
