Background CheckedStarting at per visit
Hi! I’m Sitara, a chef with a background in globally inspired, seasonal cooking and a deep love for hospitality. I trained in Paris and went on to cook in some of NYC’s top kitchens, including Gramercy Tavern and Nura, where I honed my love for seasonal, flavorful cooking. Now, I create personalized meals and dinner party experiences in your home. My style is globally inspired, ingredient-driven, and always made with care. Whether it’s a laid-back weekday dinner or something special, I’m here to make it delicious (and clean up after, too!).
