SO NICE TO MEET YOU!

Meet Chef Ada- Picture

I’m Ada Zhang

Cooking with Ada is rooted in the belief that food is a love language.

I grew up in a home where every meal was a hug in disguise — and whenever I felt homesick, I found my way back to the kitchen, recreating the dishes that made everything feel okay again. What started as comfort slowly became a calling, evolving from cooking for friends to hosting intimate dining experiences for guests.

Today, I’m based in Downtown West Palm Beach, offering private dinners and in-home chef experiences throughout Palm Beach County and select parts of South Florida.

To me cooking goes beyond the plate — it’s about stories, shared laughter, quiet moments, and the kind of meals people talk about long after the table is cleared.

That’s what cooking with Ada is about: creating warm, memorable experiences that bring people together in the most natural, human way.
