"Chef Alekka has been apart of 3 of our most recent wedding anniversary dinners. She is so easy to work with, she’s prompt with arrival, and the food is absolutely delish. Her attention to detail is unmatched and she’s offering the best quality of foods. We’d highly recommend her to anyone!"

"Chef Alekka is very fun to cook with and she makes you feel very comfortable!"

Chef Alekka is amazing! She helped me and my girlfriend celebrate our 1st Christmas 🎄 We had a wonderful time cooking French cuisine and it was absolutely delicious 😋! Chef Alekka is very fun to cook with and she makes you feel very comfortable! She is also very knowledgeable about food and cooking techniques. Her passion for cooking delicious food is unrivaled!

"Instantly felt like being in the kitchen with an old friend"

My family and I attended one of Chef Alekka’s classes at Hilltop Shared Kitchen (pasta from scratch). We loved every second! Chef Alekka was so fun and friendly, and instantly felt like being in the kitchen with an old friend. Her class was so informative and fun, and we even had leftovers and a copy of her recipes to go! The food was incredible. Her space was magic, and we can’t wait to see the ways she continues to make it shine. 1000% recommend! We cannot wait to return!
