what people are saying

"Olaiya makes good food look effortless. She's one of those rare cooks who cares as much about vegetables as she does about meats, and as much about flavor as she does about style. The care and attention Olaiya takes - in choosing the highest quality ingredients, the best fruits of the season, in supporting local farms and vendors - shines through in everything she does. I've never had anything less than a spectacular meal at her table."
--Molly Wizenberg, Seattle-based food writer and founder of Orangette

    "I am always looking forward to the next time I get to savor the culinary delights that magically appear out of Olaiya's kitchen. Her cooking is simply amazing. I love how she can keep carnivores at the table happy while at the same time having us cast an envious eye toward a vegetarian main course as well!"
    --Andres Springborn, Seattle

"Sitting at your table is like finding a secret gourmet hideaway in the cobblestone alleys of Paris. You serve such delicious entries like wild mushroom tartlets and mouthwatering seasonal appetizers with the attention to detail and style. Thank you!"
