First review of the year goes to Chef Tirzah! I hired Chef Tirzah to be the personal chef to prepare a meal in my home for my mother's birthday.
Backstory:
Weeks prior to my mother's birthday dinner, I have been looking all over for a private chef. However, since Chef Tirzah was listed under the "catering" section rather than "private chef" I did not see her on Yelp. We actually found her through Craigslist. I did some research on decide to do a phone consultation. After the phone conversation, her rates were fair and she seemed nice to talk which. Anyway, I felt pretty good and decided to hire her. Honestly, I was a bit nervous since I never tried her food before and was going off photos from her website and instagram.
Well let me just say that Chef Tirzah did not disappoint. In fact, she was above and beyond what I expected. She was great to work with. She was knowledgeable about the restaurant industry due to her past experience as a restaurateur.
Chef Tirzah even helped me set up my table nicely especially since I was running out of time. She showed me different ways of folding napkins, how to warm the dishes, etc. I actually learned a lot from her and was very impressed with the meal she cooked for us.
As a starter, Chef Tirzah made a simple yet very tasty Salad for us.
For the main dish, she served us ribeye that was cooked to perfection. The main dish also came with two sides which was sweet yams and asparagus. Her sweet yams, which she calls her "Caribbean sweet yam," which was her specialty and it was absolutely delicious! I think I can eat it every day. Her asparagus wrapped with prosciutto was good too.
Overall, Chef Tirzah was absolutely amazing! I highly recommend her if you are looking for a private chef for a private dinner party. She was professional, talented, friendly, helpful, and an excellent chef! I will definitely hire again for all future events where I need a private chef or catering. read more
