Zacki's Culinary Creations

I cannot recommend Zacki’s Culinary Creations enough! We recently did another Zoom cooking experience with Zacki and had such a wonderful evening. She guides you through every step of the process and makes it feel like you have a professional chef right in your own kitchen. I love that she provides a detailed ingredient list ahead of time and teaches so many helpful little cooking tips and techniques throughout the class that you would never learn from simply following a recipe. One of my favorite parts is that we always try foods and flavors I normally would never attempt to make on my own. The cocktails are also such a fun addition and something I genuinely look forward to learning each time. This experience was extra special because I invited my 90 year old neighbor Shirley to join us, and we all had the best time together. The evening felt fun, relaxed, interactive, and memorable from start to finish. We are already looking forward to many more cooking experiences with Zacki!

I had such an amazing experience with Zacki’s Culinary Creations! Spending time with a private chef in her home was not only enjoyable, but incredibly inspiring. I learned so much in a short session—Zacki provides a hands-on experience that makes learning both practical and rewarding. The food we created together was absolutely beautiful and delicious, and I loved learning new techniques along the way. We even made cocktails and picked up some great entertaining tips that I can’t wait to use at home! Zacki is also incredibly flexible—she’s willing to come to you and even offers virtual sessions via Zoom, which I think is amazing. I can’t wait to do a virtual cooking class next! She is so knowledgeable and a joy to learn from. The best part? When I got back, my daughter said she could tell I had really stepped up my cooking skills 🥰😍😁 Highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to elevate their cooking and have a great time doing it! I’m so happy that I made this connection! ❤️

Zacki was wonderful to work with. She made things easy and was timely in her communication with me. Since she was not available for our date she made arrangements for us to use Savoir Personal Chef Services. They were great and worked through Zacki. Zacki made the process easy which I really appreciated. I would highly recommend using Zacki’s Culinary Creations!

Thank you for my memorable experience at your restaurant featuring your staff's talent and Aruba. You are such a delightful person. Your staff were so welcoming of us to experience your hosting and Aruba dishes.

Chef Zacki and her team prepared a lovely dinner themed to match a destination training for Aruba. The presentation of the food was great and tasted good too. I enjoyed the evening and getting to learn about the different foods one could enjoy in destination. The catering team cared about what they were doing, were food safe, and put their heart into their work. Would definitely recommend to others!

We had the pleasure of hosting Chef Zacki and Gigi in our office for a team-building cooking class, and it was such a treat! They came fully prepared with everything we needed to create two beautiful charcuterie boards. Throughout the session, they shared the history behind several ingredients, offered great tips on how to make our boards stand out, and took the time to answer all our questions. It was a wonderful event — our team thoroughly enjoyed the experience and loved having them in the office!

Zacki and her assistant Arby made my birthday so special! I booked a cooking class for a group of nine friends, and they created the most fun, welcoming, and memorable experience we could have asked for. The food was incredible, and the class was interactive without feeling rushed. My friends haven’t stopped talking about how much they enjoyed it. Truly the perfect way to celebrate a birthday. Zacki also shared some life advice that was very insightful form all her experiences! Highly recommend!

Chef Zacki’s mac and cheese stuffed pepper was nothing short of extraordinary. The vibrant yellow pepper was perfectly roasted, encasing a rich and creamy mac and cheese filling that struck the ideal balance between comfort and creativity. Each bite revealed thoughtful layers of flavor from the velvety pasta to the beautifully caramelized topping and the fresh herbs that added a bright, aromatic finish. The presentation was stunning and worthy. It’s clear that Chef Zacki pours both skill and heart into their craft. Truly a standout dish and highly recommend her if you want to try something new and exquisite!

Myself and 3 friends took Chef Zacki's Figgy class. It was such a a fun afternoon! Chef Zacki's stories about her life and working with food are fascinating. We made 2 yummy fig dishes and a salad with a delicious orange dressing. We highly recommend this class.

This past Sunday, a group of friends gathered to experience Zacki's Fig Cook 'n Your Nook hands on cooking class. All of us love figs, but really didn't know what to do with them! Chef Zacki shared recipes for appetizer/main/dessert and we got to it! The meal was delicious and we all learned how to make some simple/easy, but sophisticated dishes. This is the second time Chef Zacki has brought her culinary expertise, fascinating stories and food history to our group. We highly recommend the experience to all foodies and those that love to cook!
