Chef Sasha

Owner

Sasha realized at a very young age that she truly possessed a love and passion for cooking. Growing up in an extremely large family she had no other choice but to learn how to cook. Sasha always had a passion for food and cooking but never thought to make it a career. After journeying through life and several successful career paths, Sasha began to reflect on those moments of absolute happiness. Which in turn led her back to school to pursue & obtain a Culinary Degree in 2016. Sasha graduated at the top of her class and continued to push to higher heights.

I found the caterer through The Knot for my daughter’s wedding. Sasha was wonderful to work with—flexible and accommodating as we made a few adjustments to the menu, including the ...

appetizers. The appetizers were prepared onsite and served by her friendly, attentive staff. They were beautifully presented and came out perfectly warm and fresh. The presentation of all the dishes met our expectations, and the crab cakes were a definite crowd favorite. Overall, the pricing was excellent, and I would highly recommend her for her great value, delicious food, and elegant presentation. Rachael F.

r. She listened to all the information I provided to her about the occasion, the guests, the ideas and preferences I had and she then helped me create an incredible menu with so many suggestions and offerings above and beyond any caterer I have ever known. Her knowledge and expertise are exceptional. Chef Sasha was so patient and so personable and caring making sure every detail was exact. Each dish was prepared to perfection. The salmon with lemon dill was incredible. Served with the scrumptious roasted potatoes and perfect fresh broccoli crowns. Everyone raved about how delicious and crisp the broccoli was and it wasn’t soggy. The chicken Marsala with linguine was so tender and the flavor was amazing and the pasta was cooked to perfection. Wasn’t dry or soggy. My son LOVED the ribs. Commented they were the best baby back ribs he ever had. The meat fell off the bone with each bite. He asked the next day if there were leftovers could he come get them. BBQ chicken the same tender, juicy, her seasonings and sauces are exceptional. Mac n cheese was creamy, drenched in several cheeses and baked perfectly. She also prepared the largest Caesar salad complete with a phenomenal creamy homemade dressing along with croutons and yummy soft dinner rolls. There was an over abundance of food. Everyone had seconds and thirds. I cannot find enough words to describe just how delicious, tasty and well prepared everything was. Chef Sashas presentation was exquisite as well. Each dish was beautifully displayed, hot and cooked precisely. When she arrived she graciously set everything up tending to details. She gave me explicit directions on how to keep each dish from being overcooked while guests arrived and served exactly as if it was prepared right here at that moment. Chef Sasha and her staff were charming, friendly and attentive to every detail. She called shortly after she left to make sure all was going smoothly and see if I had any questions. My guests RAVED about the entire meal. Some commented that they have attended elegant over the top weddings and the food did not compare slightly to our meal that she prepared!! It is evident that Chef Sasha prepares everything she makes with her heart and soul, her dedication to perfection and her commitment to her clients needs and wants and to give them a menu that is above and beyond perfect. We truly enjoyed the complete experience Chef Sasha provided. We cannot thank you enough Sasha. We are now a life long devoted client. Choosing Sophisticated Palate for your occasion will be the best decision you will ever make. The best and only choice for your occasion or event. A choice of excellence and perfection. Looking forward to seeing you at our next occasion. Thank you so very much

tress-free. She listened to the needs and preferences and helped create a menu that suited the event and guests. On the day of the event, the food was delicious!

The food's presentation was beautiful, adding to the event's overall ambiance. The staff that worked along side chef Sasha were personable.

THE QUEEN OF CULINARY! Words cannot describe how wonderful Chef Sasha and her team were. My friends & I were staying in the Poconos for my 26th birthday. Being as crazy as I am abo...

ut my birthday, I knew I wanted a private chef. I reached out to Chef via her website and got an immediate response back. We spoke about ideas, budget, decor, etc. Initially I had booked just a breakfast event for the party, but decided on her private chef experience service as well for my boyfriend & I. IT WAS AMAZING! Together we crafted a menu that would be perfect for the two of us, especially since I am a very picky eater. She listened and was so patient with my requests. I am still dreaming of that food days later & will forever. Breakfast was just as amazing. My guests are still talking about how delicious everything was! Thank you again, one million times over, for making my birthday even more special than I ever could’ve imagined. To Chef Sasha, continue to light up a room and be so vibrant through your craft. I miss you already 😂❤️

Their attentive service, delicious food, and willingness to go above and beyond made them an integral part of our celebration. We highly recommend their services for any event, especially weddings.

rofessionalism of Sasha and her whole team! After contracting with them before trying any food (based off our initial call, reviews, pictures, etc) we were a tad nervous but that was quickly put to ease after our tasting was delicious and our event even more delicious!!! The team is highly professional, respectful, friendly, and super accommodating to dietary needs. Sasha is also very responsive and clearly willing to go above and beyond to ensure every detail is covered (i mean, she also cooked for us on HER BIRTHDAY which says it all about her dedication)! I highly recommend Chef Sasha and sophisticated palate
