"I CAN'T SPEAK MORE HIGHLY OF THE EXPERIENCE WE HAD WITH HALIMA"
From planning our menu before the event to the cooking and presentation, everything was first class and I would have no doubt in hiring her again for a special event. First class service and a wonderful chef and person!"

"Just wanted to say a huge thank you for the meal you cooked for the Hen party, the food was creative, looked amazing and tasted incredible. The whole party was very impressed and commented that it was worth every penny!! The service you provided from initial contact, tailoring the menu to personal requirements, right through to tidying away on the night was first class and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to family and friends.

"COMPLETELY DELICIOUS"
"Fabulous! The food was ALL completely delicious, full of wonderful flavours and yet surprisingly light. Halima even made a surprise birthday cake for my son. She is a warm, friendly lady with whom we felt very comfortable with. She was extremely patient and encouraging with our six year old grandson who was "helping" her prepare the canapés! I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone."

"ALL MEALS WERE DELICIOUS"
"...All meals were delicious and Halima has particularly strong skills in Middle Eastern recipes making the best Hummus any of us have ever tasted. She is extremely hardworking and an absolute pleasure to have around."
DAVID HOWDEN
"ABSOLUTELY SUPERB"
"Halima planned, prepared and cooked an absolutely superb Christmas dinner for my large extended family on Christmas day 2016 and we could not sing her praises highly enough. The detail and care which went into the planning of the meal were exceptional. Halima then cooked a superb range of dishes, in fairly challenging circumstances, catering for everyone from those who prefer finer dining through to children with simpler tastes. I cannot recommend Halima highly enough. She is a superb chef and a delightful person."
SIMON RYDER
"UNIQUE & BESPOKE"
"I highly recommend Halima. She made my husband's 40th birthday dinner stress free and enjoyable. We were able to attend to our guests and eat fabulous food that catered to our dietary requirements. She was very easy to communicate with, and is full of innovative ideas that make your event/party special, unique and bespoke. Halima cooked exceptional food, worked beautifully to accommodate our particular requests and helped clean & tidy up at the end of our evening."

"AN EVENING TO BE REMEMBERED"
"Halima, once again, a huge thank you for a truly amazing meal on Saturday. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed it and the favourite, with no doubt whatsoever, was the salmon and noodles. Mum and I were both fascinated and in awe of how you did it all! An evening to be remembered."
SUE & KENNY
"WE DIDN'T HAVE TO ASK FOR ANYTHING"
"What an experience!! The food was absolutely outstanding. Halima and her waitresses worked wonderfully to make this whole evening one to remember. We did not have to ask for anything. Drinks were served and topped up accordingly. We look forward to inviting Tailored Taste into our home again soon. We highly recommend Halima's fun, friendly, personable attitude and highly trained expertise to anyone."
JO & WAYNE
"EXTREMELY PROFESSIONAL & POLISHED CHEF"
"Halima was an extremely professional and polished chef who served up delicious and wonderfully presented food to all 10 guests helping us relax and enjoy the evening. Halima accommodated all our requirements and all the guests commented on how tasty every single dish was, including our young children who loved the steak most of all, something they have never said about my cooking!"

"CREATIVE & INVENTIVE
"Many thanks for all your efforts on Saturday night. I think I can safely say that everyone just loved the evening...from the bright and imaginative cocktails at the start through to the array of special desserts that you produced. Your creativity and inventiveness shone through and the presentation, the colours, and wonderful flavours of what you prepared really wowed us. Indeed the sharing platters, as starters, were so simple an idea yet so cleverly done and amazingly presented with some fantastic taste sensations – I could have just feasted on them alone! In addition your waiting staff were great – attentive and yet not overbearing - and they kept both the wine and the food flowing in just the right measure. In summary, we could not have wanted more from our special evening and thank you so much for making it happen in such a memorable way. Once again thank you (and the girls) for all your efforts and your superb food presentation on Saturday."

"WE ALL LOVED IT"
"Amazing food & service from Halima. Vegan food for a lot of non-vegans and we all loved it! What a talented chef. Thank you."
LUCY BAILEY
"FANTASTIC CHEF"
"Halima provided a wonderful service from start to finish – from our initial conversation I immediately understood Halima’s passion for food, service and attention to detail! Halima is not only a fantastic chef, but has a lovely energy and is great to be around. Our hen party loved having her cook for us, as she immersed herself in the evening without being intrusive, just blending in seamlessly. Our party particularly loved the “story” Halima gave us as each dish was presented, with inspiration behind the dish and where the food and ingredients were sourced from. Fantastic value for money and a wonderful experience. I would very much recommend Halima and really hope we work together in the future!"
SARAH AYLING
"HIGH QUALITY DINING EXPERIENCE"
"I just wanted to thank you for everything you did for Paul’s 50th birthday dinner party in August. Everything was perfect and you instilled me with confidence from our initial discussions, your menu advice and attention to detail. Each course was packed full of amazing, memorable flavours and beautifully presented and decorated with gorgeous edible flowers, even the gin and elderflower cocktails! Our guests were totally impressed by your calm presence and how exceptionally clean and tidy the kitchen was at the end of the evening! I thoroughly enjoyed the experience of dining in our own home.
I would definitely love to book another evening when the opportunity arises. The evening was extra special as you enabled us to enjoy excellent food, wine and company of close friends, completely stress free! Many thanks for all your hard work and I hope you continue to be inspired by your travels. I will definitely recommend booking Tailored Taste to anyone is looking for a high quality dining experience, and I look forward to contacting you again in the future."
