Chef Zenaidy

25 reviews

Chef Zenaidy is a world traveler and that is reflected in the fusion of styles and ingredients that her menus encompass. She grew up in Brazil where she started cooking at age eleven. She has lived on three continents where she focused on developing her culinary skills. This has given her a wide range of styles to draw from in her recipes. She especially loves teaching her students how to cook her interpretation of Italian and Brazilian cuisine.

Chef Zenaidy is the best! She is so fun and friendly. The food was absolutely fantastic, but most importantly, we learned so much! Very hands-on instruction and Chef Zenaidy makes you feel like you really can make everything on your own at home. Best part is that she speaks Italian, so we truly felt like we were with family. Grazie mille!!!

Had a blast taking this class. Chef Zenaidy was very welcoming and friendly when she teaching us. The meals we made were delicious and very easy to prepare, my favorite being the avocado cream soup. 10/10 would recommend to a friend and take again.

I was impressed right from the start with her warm greeting, bright smile, and excitement to show us her magnificent meals. The food was exceptional and I never thought going into the night I would learn so many new tips from Chef Zenaidy.??â€? I canâ€™t wait to bang out that panna cotta recipe for my friends sometime! My fiancÃ© and I would highly recommend this cozymeal experice with Zenaidy! We wonâ€™t forget it!

We were kind of nervous as we had no idea how it is going to be, turns out it was a wonderful experience, it was more like meeting new friends and cooking together for a delicious meal. The dishes are easy to make, look and taste good. Glad we did this.

Chef Zenaidy is a fantastic chef and teacher. She speaks multiple languages and has lived all over the world. She has a wonderful style of fusion including using ingredients from Asia, Italy, Germany, Brazil, and France, just to name a few. We loved her version of Sicilian caponata, which was so good.

I booked a cooking class with Chef Zenaidy as a christmas gift adventure for my family. We had a lot of fun! We got to cook a tasty meal and pick up some cool tips and techniques from a master chef. Chef Zenaidy also taught us some of her signature recipes she invented.

The experience that my wife and I had with Chef Z was nothing short was awesome. It went beyond our expectations. She is very knowledgeable, and truly enjoys what she does. She made us feel at ease right away. She was very perceptive, is a natural teacher and it was obvious to see how much she enjoys what she does. My wife, who is an avid baker, learned many tips which says a lot about Chef Z's expertise. Highly recommend, and we look forward to her other classes in the future. We also look forward to her putting out a Keto baking recipe-book because she creates great recipes through her creativity.

Chef Zenaidy was AWESOME! Most of us had very little experience with cooking and she took the time to show us extra tips and tricks, even how to modify the recipe to fit our tastes. She was so hospitable and we learned so much, even the seasoned cook in our group learned some things! Weâ€™ll definitely be back again!

Chef Zenaidy was awesome! Talented in teaching skill as well as her Chef skills. I love to cook and learned some basics that I struggled with (sharpening knives) and took home some great recipes. Had a great time and Chef managed the diverse group.

Chef Zenaidy graciously welcomed us into her home and showed us how to prepare ingredients into three delicious dishes. She also gave us several useful tips and techniques (i.e. how to wash scallops, how to dice onions, what to do with leftover vanilla). Her dishes were easy to prepare, and Chef Zenaidy was kind enough to share her recipe with us!

Lina

My partner and I had a lovely time cooking with Chef Zenaidy. As someone who doesn't cook often, Zenaidy gave us so many great tips and pointers to improve our cooking at home. My partner cooks a lot and still learned so much from our session. Plus, it was just a lovely evening with good company. Definitely 5 stars in our book, and if you can, we really recommend taking the class with a few friends! The more the merrier.
