I was inspired to do a sous vide Brazilian Pichana steak with a spicy roasted red pepper grits and fried plantains, along side a chilean sea bass with green curry sauce and forbidden black rice for the entrees choices of this fabulous foodie couple and their guests.

    The Kookery LLC was the perfect caterer for our wedding. From the very beginning, their communication was timely, communicative, respectful, and always positive and understanding. The quality of their work and overall value was outstanding - they were clearly determined, thoughtful, passionate, and just plain fun to work with! Chef Shieya went above and beyond to contribute to our special day. She thought of thoughtful details we hadn't even considered, like making cute garnishes for our cocktails without being asked. And the food she prepared was absolutely phenomenal - by far the most creative and delicious cuisine we've had at any event. We would recommend The Kookery LLC and Chef Shieya for any special occasion where you need an amazing caterer.

    How can I even begin to describe the greatness that is Chef Shieya and the Kookery and how wonderful she made our wedding?! It started off with planning mode. With an American and a Brazilian getting married, we wanted to have a dish from each culture to make it special for our guests. With a sea bass dish and the steak picanha, everyone could choose. The sous vide steak was so tender, cooked to perfection, the color on it so beautiful, it was the winner. We had a few vegans at the party, and she took care of them ahead of time and knew exactly where they were sitting and who they were. And as always, Chef wanted to kick it up a notch, so she got some black truffles to really make the dishes pop. The full course meal from the watermelon salad to squid ink pasta to the main courses to the wedding cake she made herself was decadent, super tasty, and plated like a million dollars. Aside from the food being perfect, Chef Shieya and the Kookery team delivered a professional experience like no other. From setup to breakdown, they had it handled to where we didn't have to worry at all. The team arrived early in the morning. We went up to go get ready and change for the wedding party, and by the time we came back down they were already completely set up and serving guests. There are so many attention to detail things we didn't even think of, nor did we have to because they already knew what we needed, even though we didn't. So many touches that just made everything run so smoothly. We didn't have to do a thing, and all the guests were taken care of. People still talk about how good our wedding reception food was, saying it was the best they've ever had, better than the regular boring standard food at other weddings. Our special day was made so much more magical because of Shieya and her team. She does everything only to perfection, and even goes a step further to make it personal and unforgettable. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

    The Kookery and Chef Shieya were an absolute pleasure to work with as our wedding caterers. From the very first conversation, their communication was prompt, friendly, and thoroughly addressed all of our questions. Their team proved to be incredibly creative and innovative, crafting a delicious menu that catered to all of our guests' dietary needs while also fitting perfectly within our budget. They were also wonderfully flexible, working closely with us to customize the serving style and presentation to match the aesthetic we had envisioned for our special day. They truly went above and beyond to ensure our wedding reception was a huge success, and we are so grateful for their exceptional service and value. We highly recommend them to any couple looking for top-notch catering for their wedding.

    Chef Shila was hired for a private dinner for me and my group of guests. As each dish was presented, it became evident that her culinary skills were unparalleled. The main course was perfectly cooked filet migon with truffle sauce and lobster. But it wasn’t the dishes themselves that left us in awe. It was the attention to detail and the passion that shine through every bite.
