Magiritsa Soup with Lamb Shanks (not offal)

Magiritsa soup and Greek Easter go hand-in-hand. After fasting for 40 days, Greek Orthodox Christians break their fast after midnight church services with a heaping bowl of this lamb soup laced with an egg-lemon sauce.

Christina created the perfect Christmas dinner for 14 foodies.Her service was brilliant, we decided a menu together... weeks before (with vegan and gluten free options), she came with everything she needed and even cleaned up after. It was pleasure having her in our home, her food was delicious and everyone was very happy! I'd definitely book her again.read more

Christina exceeded all of our expectations! This was our first experience hiring a private chef and we were so... impressed. Everything was so delicious, we were literally licking our plates. We had one vegetarian in attendance and Christina prepared her a special dish. Can't recommend her enough!read more

We hired Christina as a private chef for a special occasion dinner party for 12 and were thrilled with the... result. There were some specific menu needs that needed to be met and she was professional and easy to communicate with throughout the planning process. She recently published a cookbook and had multiple suggestions at the ready for a four course meal and dessert, including vegetarian options. On the night of the event, her execution was impeccable. She was organized and efficient in the kitchen, and most importantly, whipped up a mouth watering meal at significantly less cost than if we had hosted this event at a restaurant. The menu ran the gambit from shrimp saganaki, to baked zucchini cakes, to some insanely tasty avocado, potato, garlic dippy thingy, to braised short ribs that fell off the bone. The pic below is of grilled octopus with nectarines and arugula.read more

I hired Chef Christina to make a special private dinner for my wife and I for my wife's birthday . Christina arrived on... time, was polite and professional, and cleaned up afterwards. More importantly, the food was healthy and delicious. Every course was amazing. I would highly recommend Christina to anyone looking for a special night, catering, or someone who needs a chef on a regular basis. 5 stars all the way.read more
