Boris was AWESOME! We didn't necessarily have an event or catering, we were just beginners who wanted to get a good foundation for learning how to cook. Boris was extremely enthusiastic and answered all of our questions. He taught us numerous knife and cooking skills that we can use moving forward. Ingredients weren't overly complicated. He made multiple dishes for us out of a single chicken. The food turned out AMAZING! I highly recommend Boris for any of your cooking or catering needs. He is very professional and a true expert.

Boris did an excellent job teaching and preparing 2 appetizers, an entree, vegetable dish and a side dish for our adult children. He has a great personality, good entertainer and very professional. He is very accommodating and wanted to meet all our expectations for the evening. Our meal was better then many meals we would get a nice restruants. I will hire him again for any catering or parties we have in the future.

I hired Boris Seljak to give an introductory cooking lesson to two seventeen year old boys. He was wonderful with them, and they thoroughly enjoyed the experience. He is a personable hands-on instructor who taught the boys knife skills and food handling procedures. In a two-hour time period, the boys made chicken stock, chicken soup, a roasted chicken and vegetable dish, and a braised chicken dish. I would recommend him for anyone wanting to learn how to cook, including young people. My husband and I are looking forward to hiring him for a catering event in the future.

I hired Boris to cater a Celebration of Life gathering for 70 people. I was very disorganized and had contacted Boris just slightly more than a week from the party date. Boris came to my rescue! By the time we met, we had less than a week...he presented me with wonderful menu choices. I was pleasantly surprised that our final selections were exactly as he described.Our guests raved about the prime rib and portobello sliders. The salads and roasted seasonal vegetables were beautiful and guests were extremely happy with the variety to choose from. Boris was very easy to work with..he was efficient and thorough... The food was excellent as was the presentation and his team members helped make everything look so effortless. I will definitely use Boris again and highly recommend him to others...he made such an impression on the guests that they took most of his business cards to share with others.

Outstandingly experienced chef. He came to house and gave our 11 year old granddaughter a private cooking lesson. His skills are great with adults as well as kids. We all were invited to watch and boy did we All learn! From the placing of the cutting board and knife skills to the presentation of the gourmet food they prepared together. It was hands on for both chef and granddaughter. It was a great experience for all and we have already been asked by others to pass on his information to them. He is going to be very busy, so, make arrangements now to book him for your events or for your private lesson for a loved one.
