INSIDE CHELLZ KITCHEN

There’s something special about being trusted to feed people, especially on the days that matter most. This particular celebration was hosted at Perfectionate Aesthetic Spa, a familiar space where I also hold my Table Talks, a place that’s as much about healing and connection as it is about beauty. The birthday girl had chosen a spa day with her closest friends. My role? To bring the food and pull out all the stops. The warmth and the memory-making. With limited time, I went ahead and gathered some intel. I asked about allergies, preferences, and personalities. These answers act as a guide; this information eventually shaped a menu that was playful but elegant, curated with teenage girls in mind, and made to suit the calm, pampering atmosphere of the spa.

The Menu: 18th Birthday Luncheon Starters • Individual Charcuterie Boats (NO NUTS) • Crunchy Garlic Chicken Kyiv Balls • Chicken Nuggets & Fries with Sweet Chilli Dip
