LaLa Ziemski Private Chef

I love working with what's fresh and in season in addition to cooking all different types of cuisine. I travel obsessively to create super authentic dishes. Everything is made by me, from scratch. No jars or bottles here. I also believe that food should be beautiful and focus on presentation. Working at the restaurant Gjelina gave me the confidence that simple is best. I don't do foams or crazy gimmicks, just tons of flavor. I'm also a big fan of spice! I'll make you fresh pasta, grill you the perfect steak, make a curry paste or simply roast beautiful veggies. I can do it all and can work to create the perfect, cohesive menu. Want cooking lessons? I can teach you basics or help with a special meal you want to pull off flawlessly. I'm obsessed with food so I'm obsessed with my job! Eating and traveling are my favorite pastimes. One of my favorite destinations is Southeast Asia so spice is something I love. I also own a restaurant in the Caribbean, called The Firefly and love combining fruit and spice. Grilling is one of my favorite pastimes, from a perfect steak to grilling seasonal stone fruit and adding it to a burrata salad. Bring on the summertime! My specialty is coursed dinner parties for 6-20 but I also love groups of up to 150 where we can pass beautiful bites or set up family style. Planning dinner parties makes me giddy. Let's do it!
