Chef in Los Angeles, California

I’m Naj, a chef who believes food is more than just a meal—it’s a way to gather, connect, and nourish. My cooking is seasonal, soulful, and inspired by global flavors, especially my Puerto Rican and Egyptian roots. Whether it’s a beautifully hosted dinner or meal prep to make your week easier, I bring warmth, creativity, and care to every dish. I love cooking for all palates and dietary preferences, including vegan and vegetarian, making sure every bite is full of flavor and intention. My focus is always on fresh, local ingredients and creating meals that feel as good as they taste. If you’re looking for someone to take the stress out of cooking—whether for a special occasion or just to have delicious meals on hand—I’ve got you. Let’s make something amazing together.
