Client Reviews
Sara joined us for the last night of our amazing family vacation. She prepared a beautiful and delicious meal including fantastic sangria and the best paella I’ve ever tasted in any country.
I loved that she shared her story and explained more about each dish. Thank you, Sara, for making our last dinner in Costa Rica so special. We all wish you the best and highly recommend you as a private chef!
