She is always open to suggestions and loves to work with different people to learn new things.

No matter what occasion you might be wanting to celebrate, Chef Joanna can help make the time cooking with her unique and personalized to you.

Not only was our 4 course Indian meal delectable, the presentation was, as my girlfriend would say, "Instagram Worthy!"

I can't wait for our next party when we'll get to use The Salted Fig. Thanks again for a wonderful experience and we look forward to seeing you soon.

I appreciate people like Chef Christine because she has a unique vegan perspective on cooking and food. She's all about creativity in the kitchen and not compromising in taste while cooking healthy. She's introduced me to healthy foods I've never tried before such as tempeh and kale. Now whenever I go to the market, I'm on the lookout for healthier alternatives and green veggies I haven't tried before. And may I also add she's a fantastic baker? Her vegan cupcakes are indistinguishable from non-vegan ones and they are quite scrumptious. Thumbs up.

The first course of a salad was amazing and it just got better from there to the pesto pasta, the shrimp dish, the steak and then two desserts! We were absolutely stuffed.
