let's make food together!

it's fun. i promise!

I love fun!

what's this all about?

My name is Dalia David. I am a New York City Celebrity Chef & Cooking Instructor.

I create virtual cooking experiences for companies + their teams to energize their culture!
These sessions build community and cultural humility over a 1 hour session, teams enjoy a nice meal together afterwards.
My culinary training comes from the Natural Gourmet Institute and studied Plant Nutrition at Cornell University.
I honed my skills in NYC restaurant kitchens; Jean Georges' Spice Market, Pure Food & Wine, the James Beard Foundation, and as a Catering Chef for Linkedin HQ feeding 400 ppl daily.
Teaching is my passion, cooking is my livelihood.
Here to share it with you so that we can support each other.

cook with me!

"Loved this class. Thank you so much. I have a picky family so haven’t experimented much. My 13 year old devoured the leftovers when she got home! Thanks again."

Larissa U.

"This was great!! And it was so fun. I made the daal again for dinner last night and the whole family loved it - all three generations including my 18 month old! With all those legumes I can get my whole crew to go vegetarian and so healthy and no one even notices!"

Lindsay G.

"I loved learning how the sauce changes after you add different ingredients and tasting it along the way. Dalia has a wonderful personality for hosting cooking class - really enjoyed her!"

Paige G.

"I don't consider myself a cook because I haven't cooked often until recently! But I learned so much! I feel much more confident experimenting with ingredients after Dalia's class."

Pasha K.

"It was fun to be so interactive and to feel like whatever you brought with you to class, Dalia would help make it work! Also, it was really cool to have the two-camera setup."
