PRIVATE DINING FOR MEMORABLE OCCASIONS
Seasonal menus, thoughtful styling, and restaurant level cuisine created for your home, your event, or your gathering.
Ali Ramee
Meet the chef behind the table.
I’m a private chef, recipe developer, and food stylist based in Charleston. My journey began in Georgia, working in the kitchen of James Beard Award–winning chef Hugh Acheson. From there, an internship in America’s Test Kitchen got me on the path to recipe development. After honing my restaurant skills for a few more years in San Francisco’s Flour + Water and Petit Crenn, I returned to recipe development and food styling with Dotdash Studios.
I spent four years at Dotdash Food Studios, developing and styling food for Food & Wine, Real Simple, Southern Living, Allrecipes, and Health. Eventually, I built Ali Eats to cook the way I truly love to: for intimate gatherings, around real tables, using ingredients from producers I know and trust.
