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.
