  • We've been working with Shayda since 2022. She is fantastic!!! She is an amazing chef - creates wonderful food of all types - and is also incredibly customer service oriented. She actively solicits feedback on all her dishes and happily makes changes to accommodate dietary needs, flavor preferences, household changes, etc. She is also a wonderful human - friendly, caring, and fun to chat with. We are so lucky to have her in our lives and hope she never leaves!!!

    Juliana G. - Weekly Meal Prep

  • Chef Shayda has been our personal chef for three totally memorable family events. Not only was the food fabulous, but Shayda is a charming, warm, intelligent presence in the kitchen. Asking her to cook is sort of like inviting a special guest who feels like a long-time friend at the end of the evening (AND leaves you with a spotless kitchen!).

Meet the Team

Shayda B, Chef and Founder of Mazzeh

Hello there! I'm Shayda, a personal chef on a mission to transform ordinary meals into extraordinary experiences. My culinary journey has spanned decades, starting with the rich flavors and traditions of Persian cuisine, progressing through the Culinary Institute in New York, and expanding through my gastronomic travels and years in fine dining and catering. Now, as a personal chef, I bring all these experiences together.

I learned early on the importance of fresh, seasonal, and local ingredients and the magic they bring to the table. My travels around the globe have added a diverse array of culinary traditions and techniques to my repertoire. I love drawing on these skills to create menus that meet all your dietary requirements, bring you the comfort of home, or transport you a million miles away, depending on your mood.

As a personal chef, my focus goes beyond crafting delicious meals; it's about curating unforgettable moments. Whether it's a weeknight dinner, an intimate gathering, or a lavish event, I strive to cultivate a warm and welcoming atmosphere. My events are more than just meals; they're magical gatherings where laughter flows, and every bite is savored amidst the warmth of friendship and hospitality.

Kelli W, Chef

Her love of cooking, instilled by her mother’s passion for baking, set her culinary journey in motion at a young age. From cutting out cookies at Christmas to perfecting bake sale brownies and Sunday dinner biscuits, she honed her skills by her mother's side.

After starting as a baker at a bagel shop in Bellingham in 2009, she made food her livelihood. Most of her career has been spent as the chef of a beloved bistro bar near Seattle Center, where for nearly a decade, she delighted locals and visitors alike with her creations.

Her year at a Paleo restaurant expanded her expertise in alternative diets, enriching her journey to becoming a personal chef in 2019. She takes joy in creating dishes that bring families together and satisfy diverse dietary needs. A native of western Washington and a WWU graduate, she has called Seattle home since 2012.

When not crafting culinary delights, she enjoys making pottery, exploring the PNW, and cooking with her partner in West Seattle. She eagerly anticipates sharing her culinary passions and bringing joy to your dinner table.
