Chef Syrena created a journey in technique and flavor. Her flavor profiles and pairings range from bright, surprise-filled morsels to bold, health-minded comfort food. Her experience as a creative Chef is underscored by a deep understanding of market-accessible cooking that benefits the home cook looking for a better understanding of menu development and how to create a dynamic range in taste. She has a straight-forward, humble approach to communicating her talents that easily identifies with local audiences.

Chef Syrena came to our motorhome while we were visiting New Orleans. Special assignment: cook a kosher meal using only the utensils available in the motorhome and food approved as kosher by me! It was fantastic! Blackened redfish with herb roasted potatoes, asparagus and fumee sauce followed by her version of bananas Foster, banana deep fried in egg roll wrap with caramel banana liqueur sauce. Amazing, had a great meal, watched a great chef cook!

6th Annual NORBCC Golf Tournament. I wish, I could submit pictures. [Seriously] Not only was the food tasty, but the attention to details was above and beyond - [food] Display; presentation [of food on chopping boards, etc.]; flow of the food stations... Chef Syrena brings her "A" game to an event.
