Samantha was fantastic our guests loved her sushi !

Professional sushi chef required

$1,000

If you want delicious, restaurant grade food Elisa is the person to go to. I don’t think you could get what she made in a restaurant, it was so good! She arrived with everything she needed and was so organised in advance. She always replied fast and I felt I could trust her from the beginning. She is one talented professional chef. The food was mouth watering. I can’t wait to have Elisa back!
