About
Chef Christina Karam Painter is a Lebanese-Cincinnati native whose menus reflect her vast travel experience. You’ll see global influence in her menus for individual and family-style meals. Starting Stir Crazy Cuisine in 2013, she has used her passion and knowledge to provide delicious and primarily healthy meals to clients in addition to cooking for dinner parties and teaching cooking classes. While building her clientele in 2013, she worked part time as a culinary instructor at Sur la Table. She has had the pleasure of cooking for world-famous athletes, professionals, busy individuals, people who simply don’t want to cook, and dinner parties. Chef Christina is a passionate educator. She had the pleasure of starting the culinary arts elective classes at Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy. There she honed her knowledge of global cuisine and cooking skills to create five separate courses and curriculum. She had the opportunity to teach grades K-12. In addition, she taught adult cooking classes during evenings from the curriculum she created. After teaching at CHCA, Chef Christina had the opportunity to teach at The City Link Center, a resource center for the impoverished and formerly incarcerated. There, she taught adults in a rigorous 4-week culinary program to train them prior to entering the restaurant industry. Through that job, Christina continued to grow her teaching skills and shared her passion for food and how it brings people together. Currently, Chef Christina is focusing growing Stir Crazy Cuisine. In addition to offering weekly customized meal preparation, she also offers cooking classes and services for dinner parties. She loves sharing and experiencing food with others, and is excited to help you with your culinary needs.

Christina was amazing. She came to the house, brought all the necessary ingredients and tools that I didn't have and prepared a lovely and delicious meal for us, including a lesson on knife technique and product selection. Christina was such a joy to be around and made our evening with guests so much more fun than we could have ever imagined. We will definitely use her again! (I have made the meatballs 100 times since she was here since she left me the recipe!)

Christina prepared a wonderful birthday celebration dinner for my wife and I along with our two daughters and their husbands. She was very responsive to my initial inquiry, professional in her delivery and a super chef.

Christina was fantastic. She was on time and had everything ready to go when we were ready to eat. Charcuterie board was great. Mushroom risotto was very tasty and the chocolate pudding was delicious. Would recommend her and the company to anyone.
