Iliana was absolutely amazing! She had a wonderful way of balancing personal conversation and cooking instruction. She has so much to offer as both a person and a chef. I am not a chef to begin with but, her class truly inspired me to be more experimental with food. We will be seeking out more classes with her!

The venue was nice, and we had a good time, but the class didn't deliver for the money. I learned almost nothing about making sushi. It seemed like the chef went to Whole Foods on the way to the class to pick up ingredients. 90 minutes into the session, and we still hadn't eaten. The ingredients were served on paper plates and for $55 each, we didn't have enough ingredients to make the two rolls.

The most fun I have ever had in a cooking class! I'm not sure that I'm any more capable of making Gyoza than I was before, but my sister, best friend and I had an absolute blast!

I am so happy that I attended the Chef ili’s cooking class at the Manna of Life Food Pantry. The class was fun, informative and we learned so much in a short time. Chef ili focused on the foods that the pantry provides. One of the recipes was chicken nuggets that were made with canned chicken. Her recipe was easy to follow and the nuggets were very tasty and well made. I was not sure what to do with the canned chicken but she gave us many ideas on what to do with the product. At a previous class she taught us how to make a very tasty sautéed cabbage. Chef ili enjoys teaching and her love of cooking is very contagious. She teaches with passion and wants us to learn how to make better choices when we are preparing meals. Chef ili is very professional and her expertise is very evident. Love her classes.

Truly enjoy the way Chef ili speaks to her class with complete knowledge and passion with every word that flows from her mouth. I'm always recommending her to friends and colleagues. She also travels to other states, as i was hosting a party in Florida and she gladly came and cooked up a storm for my 60 guest ! I appreciate her hard work.

Had an intimate private dinner party at my house with my boyfriend and another couple. She cooked every dish with an immense amount of love and creativity. Since that night I am now a regular meal prep client of hers.

We had the privilege of partnering up with Chef Ili for our spring 2022 season providing us nutritional meals, snacks and drinks for our soccer teams. I also personally had the privilege of getting meals for myself and as always she amazes our taste buds. Chef Ili always communicate with us to make sure we had what we needed whether it be sufficient if the teams enjoyed the meals and also very punctual with delivery. She stays hands on with you exceeding your expectations Id recommend Chef Ili over and over again never disappointed. I personally have eaten veggies and foods I wouldn’t have before but anything she touches is a hit!

Chef Ili cooked for our private events to celebrate our one year anniversary. She outdid herself and truly catered to each individual that attended the 20 person party. Iliana was super energetic and had everyone engaged. I recommend everyone to her, she truly makes the best experience!
