What people are saying.

  • “ Chef Ali is a culinary genius. Her life-long passion and knowledge about food, cooking, and presentation is contagious, and she is never stuck or stale, but always inspired. This made us decide to hire her for two major life occasions: my husband's big birthday, and also our recent Maine wedding, which was vegetarian. She listens, brings fresh ideas (and ingredients!) to the table, and is open to change, tweaks, and accommodations. And most importantly, her creations are tasty, colorful, and beautifully prepared, and she delivers in a professional and confident manner. Consider yourself lucky if she is available to cook for your event, and look forward to flavors that will linger long after the meal is over.

  • "It's been our pleasure to work with Ali on a couple of occasions, one a post-baptismal luncheon, and the other a cocktail gathering for Mid Coast Hospital. Ali is a very creative chef. For the luncheon Ali drew up a menu with interesting salads, and meat and chicken entrees, some with unusual flavors and textures. The final result was a meal that was both lovely to behold and delicious. The cocktail party was equally delicious with many creative and tasty finger foods. Ali was always happy to offer alternative dishes, and negotiation was easy."

  • “Ali has made me dinner almost every day for nearly 15 years, I'd say that 9 out 10 times she hits it out of the park, and that one time she doesn't it's still pretty , pretty , pretty good."
