In-home private chef services available! Looking for a romantic way to pop the question? Surprise anniversary dinner? Or imagine actually spending some time with your weekend houseguests rather than cooking all day while everyone else is out on the lake having fun. Chef Donnah specializes in latin/caribbean cooking – something unexpected that your guests are sure to enjoy! Chef Donnah has almost a 20 year history as part of the Samantha’s team but, you probably know her best for the creative cuisine she served up for almost a decade at her own restaurant across town, GG Mama’s. If you often find yourself craving those colorful flavors you remember, look no further. She’ll bring a taste of the tropics right to your dinner table. This exclusive menu includes the best of Donnah’s personal creations and features new recipes like Bahamian Mac + Cheese, Seared Tuna Salad, and Caribbean Carrot Cake. Have something else in mind? No problem. Private chef services are available in a variety of styles for parties of two to 25. We can work within your budget to create the perfect menu for any private event!
