Reviews
Testimonials
Rahima cooked an amazing Burmese meal for our bachelorette party! Rahima was so easy and fun to work with to design a menu that fit everyone's preferences and easily adapted to some dietary restrictions. Our dinner was SO tasty and the service was top-notch. They left everything so nice and clean afterwards so we could relax and enjoy our dinner at home. They went over the top with an amazing ooey gooey chocolate cake, ice cream, and some extra sweet treats as well. We were SO happy with our meal and Rahima was an absolute pleasure to work with. 10/10 would do again! Thank you, Rahima!"

"Rahima created an amazing date night for us when we found out we were pregnant! It was a truly romantic evening with every element of the meal planned to the last detail. Delicious and so special."
~M&L
"Rahima is a pleasure to work with and made hosting a PepsiCo Sustainability team dinner with 12 guests a breeze, even with dietary constraints (vegetarian, halal). We selected the Greek menu, with some minor modifications. The entire meal, from the appetizers to the dessert received rave reviews (even from the French and Italian attendees, who are usually the most difficult to please)! Rahima also adjusted the schedule for each course to ensure the pace flowed for the group. I cannot recommend Cooked with Love enough!”
~Sarah
"Rahima planned and cooked for my mother's celebration of life event. The food was amazing and she included flavors that were special to my mom. It was a beautiful way to remember her."
~Kathryn
"I took Rahima's pizza workshop. In a couple of hours, I had learned so much about pizza-making, doughs, sauces, and topping pairings. The end results were fantastic and the whole evening was a blast. She is a great chef and entertainer."
~Grant
"I had a last minute birthday dinner I needed to plan and no time to do it. Rahima whipped up an amazing meal with short notice for my wife with all her favorite foods. I am so grateful to her!

~P. Smith
"I enjoyed a private dinner cooked by Rahima. We had her Indian food, and it was the best aloo paratha and tandoori chicken that we've had - rivaled the food we had on the streets of India! She has a true talent for cooking and it was such a fun evening. Thank you Rahima!
~Nina
"Rahima made us an absolutely delicious dinner during our early days as new parents. We love her khaosuey! It was a wonderful pick-me-up and would be a great gift or treat for anyone who deserves a special meal!"
