For my mother’s 70th, we rented a house in Searsport for a week with our whole family! As a special celebratory event, we were lucky to have Chef Nija prepare a classic Maine lobster dinner. Communication was excellent, preparation so professional and the food was outstanding. We had a wonderful time!

We hired Chef Nija for a bachelorette dinner. She was great to work with from the beginning. She helped me to create a menu full of the guest of honor’s favorite foods, while working with the dietary restrictions of a few guests. In person she was just as awesome. Chef Nija was professional, friendly, and attentive as she served the food. She made enough to have leftovers and cleaned up the materials she used before she left. Her culinary creations were full of flavor and so fresh, a perfect meal. Thank you for the most memorable dinner Chef Nija! (Attached is a picture of our apps!)

Chef Nija is amazing! We hired her to cook a birthday dinner for a family of 8. She was the ultimate professional, communicating clearly via emails and phone calls prior to the event, and whipping up a delicious 3 course meal with incredibly generous portions (probably could have easily fed double the number of guests!) in our kitchen. She then cleaned everything and left the kitchen just as she found it. It was a pleasure meeting her, and we would gladly hire her again for future events!
