I create story-driven, seasonal dining experiences that feel sophisticated, edgy, and relaxed—always rooted in love and intention.

Sarah Kashani

I turn world flavors into intimate, memorable meals—where every course tells a story.

I’ve spent 25 years in restaurants, working both front and back of house, and that full-picture experience shapes how I host and cook for you. I graduated from the Culinary Program at The Art Institute of Vancouver in 2009, with a focus on world cuisine, wine, and pastries, and I’ve since owned a boutique restaurant in Vancouver and served as an executive chef across the city.

My cooking is diverse and expressive, with Italian, French, Latin American, and Mediterranean influences. I always aim to exceed expectations, and I focus on storytelling—because for me, love is the main ingredient.

I care, and I cook with good intentions.

What you can expect when you dine with me

I cook to nurture and connect

Cooking is the true form of nurturing, love, life and expression, and I bring that energy into every dish—from bright crudos and market salads to rich pastas and elegant mains.

I’ve been cooking since I was 15

I learned to cook at the age of 15, because food was a cultural way of bonding and connecting for me. That foundation still guides how I build menus that feel personal, generous, and celebratory.

I lead with intention

My kitchen secret is simple: I care, and I cook with good intentions. I focus on thoughtful details, seasonal ingredients, and flavors that feel both elevated and comforting.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are my rates for private chef services in Canada?

I build every menu from scratch, so what you pay depends on the dishes, how many guests, and the kind of service you want. Most of my dinners come to around 197 CAD, and I'll always work with the budget you have in mind. Send me a message and I'll put together a proposal for your event.

What kind of food do I specialize in?

I cook Chef's special, Local, Fusion, French, Italian and Mediterranean. I build my menus around ingredients that are in season and bought locally, because that's where the flavour is. And if anyone at your table has a dietary restriction, just tell me and I'll adjust the dishes so no one misses out.

How can you book my private chef services in Canada?

To book me in Canada, click the Book Now button on this page and follow the steps. You'll add your event date, guest count, and any dietary restrictions as you go. Once your request comes through, I read it myself and reply with a menu proposal and the dates I have open.

Do I provide private chef services for events or special occasions?

Yes. I regularly cook for Birthday, Family reunion, Bachelor/Bachelorette, Friends gathering, Romantic night, Corporate and Foodie adventure. I handle the menu, the timing, and the setup so the meal fits the kind of event you're throwing. Send me your date and I'll check whether I'm free.
