Dinner, cooked in your kitchen and served at your table
We're Sadaf and Fred. We cook private dinners in homes across Southern California, from a quiet table for six to a party of a hundred and fifty.

Tell us who is coming and what they can't eat. We build the rest around that.
Pick the one that fits the night. If you're not sure which, just tell us what you're planning and we'll say what we'd do.
We shop, arrive with everything, cook in your kitchen, and serve each course. You sit down with your guests. We leave the kitchen cleaner than we found it.
Cooked the morning of and delivered hot, set up in trays with serving pieces and labels. Good for birthdays, showers, and office lunches where you want the food handled and the rest kept simple.
A standing day each week. We cook, portion, label, and stock your fridge so the week takes care of itself. Menus rotate so you're not eating the same thing every Tuesday.
Sadaf handles the design side. If you want the night to look like something and you don't want to spend the week before sourcing linens, we can take that off your plate along with the cooking. It's an add-on to any dinner, priced to the event.
Most of it happens over text. You should know what you're getting and what it costs before you commit to anything.
Date, how many people, where, and anything anyone can't eat. Allergies and dietary needs are easier to plan for than to work around later, so send them early.
Built for your group, not pulled off a list. Usually back to you within a day, with the price per person on it. Change anything you want.
A 30% deposit books it. Final guest count is due a week out, and the balance is due the day of the event.
We arrive early, cook, serve each course, and clean up. Your job that night is to be a guest at your own dinner.
Across Southern California, from Topanga to Newport Beach.
The food should taste incredible. It should also feel like something the moment it hits the table.
We're Sadaf and Fred, and we cook because of what food does to a room. The meals we go back to in our heads were all in somebody's house, everyone sitting close enough to pass a plate. That's the night we're trying to give you.
Between the two of us we've cooked across a lot of cuisines. We can pull from several and build you something you won't find anywhere else, or cook a traditional menu the way it's supposed to be done, classic American included. We do savory and sweet, so a full dinner, a dessert table, or both.
We also think good food shouldn't be out of reach. Tell us your budget and we'll be straight with you about what it buys. We won't quietly cut quality to hit a number, we'll just tell you what's possible at that price and let you decide.
If you've never booked us before, ask about the first time client discount. We'd rather earn your trust once and cook for you for years. And if we're not the right fit for your night, we'll say so and point you somewhere better.
Send this over and we'll come back with a menu and a price. No deposit, no obligation.
