Durham, NC

    Welcome! I'm Chef Sakinah. I have worked in the food and beverage industry professionally for over a decade and counting. Throughout my career, I've worked in various restaurants across New Jersey, New York City, Florida, North Carolina, and California. With this exposure, I've learned many different styles, cuisines, and techniques of cooking, and from many executive head chefs. Managing and handling all facets of the kitchen, is also my expertise. Graduating from one of the top Culinary Arts Schools in the United States, I earned my A.A.S Degree in Culinary Arts, and Serv Safe/State Food Safety Certificate.

    P & L Creates Art was the perfect wedding caterer for our special day. From the very beginning, Sakinah, the owner, was transparent, flexible, and responsive in her communication with us. She took the time to understand our needs and preferences, conducting multiple consultations to ensure we got exactly what we wanted. The food itself was delicious, presentable, and healthy - our guests raved about the quality and flavors. The tasting we did prior to the wedding was all we needed to confirm that P & L Creates Art was the right choice. Sakinah's professionalism and attention to detail stood out, and we were thrilled with how beautifully she and her team executed on the day of. We highly recommend P & L Creates Art to any couple looking for a caterer that will make their wedding day truly special.
