About
I’m Zerian, a personal chef and holistic culinary specialist with 7 years of experience turning healthy ingredients into “mouth melodies” and taste‑bud symphonies.
I focus on romantic dinners for couples, bachelorette and bachelor parties, and family functions using high-quality organic ingredients. I happily create gluten-free, vegan, vegetarian, and sugar-free menus that my clients say taste better than anything they’ve ever had.
I also offer prepared meal prep for busy entrepreneurs and families—simply warm in the oven and enjoy a nourishing, delicious meal. Additional services include private cooking lessons, fun food demos, and custom menu creation for weddings, parties, and corporate events.
If you’re craving a culinary experience that feeds both body and soul, I’d love to create a Magical Meal Masterpiece for you.
To your health,
ZERIAN

We hired Magical Meals to cook an anniversary dinner for us. It was easy to book. the menu was 100 percent customizable and he gave great recommendations. We ended up having a mexican meal with empanadas, chips and salsa, rice, roasted poblanos, enchiladas and amazing chocolate mousse. Each course had its own special delicious spin. The tamales were made with phyllo, the rice had veggies. cranberries and pistachios, homemade pita chips with one of the best salsas I have ever tasted! Our side of just simple roasted poblano peppers was wonderful! We finished with chocolate mousse with cherries, pistachios, cashew butter and honey! The meal was a 10/10. The ingredients were top quality, clean, healthy and the meal was amazing. if you need a private chef, don't look any further!

Hired Chef Zerian for my sister's bachelorette party, and we had an excellent experience. Everything he made was delicious and creative — he put his own authentic flair into every dish. Our kitchen setup was a bit chaotic because we didn’t have enough servingware, but Chef Zerian adapted and ran with what he had. The end result was an unforgettable, restaurant-quality meal for our entire group. Would absolutely recommend!

This was our first time doing a private chef experience and he was amazing. Kept everything very casual and easy going as requested. The food was AMAZING, DELICIOUS and a very reasonable price. We will be using him again and would / will be recommending him to others looking for a private chef experience.

Chef Zerian prepared lamb chops, mashed potatoes, and veggies, he finished it by serving us peach cobbler. The food was amazing and everyone enjoyed it. Can’t say enough, highly recommend him for your next event. Thanks Chef Zerian.
