CHEF HUDA BIO
Think 1950’s Hollywood starlet, undeniably stylish and classy, combined with the talent to create beautiful dishes that keep people craving more, and then you have the brand known as “Chef Huda”. Great food and style are truly her gift to the culinary world. She is a connoisseur and a unique foodie who is looking to improve people’s relationship with food.
A native of Massachusetts, Chef Huda's love for the culinary arts presented itself at a young age.  She was raised in a completely organic household which piqued her interest in food knowledge and influenced her creativity.
Chef Huda is a graduate from the University of Maryland, College Park. After college she decided to embark on an adventure that would yield her true talents. She studied culinary art at Le Cordon Bleu in Los Angeles, California and finished at the top of her class. Immediately following, Chef Huda was graced with the opportunity to work under the tutelage of Chef John Gladish at The Chef, LLC Company. This placed Chef Huda among the best of the best in the LA food scene.
Since working in California, Chef Huda returned to the Washington DC metro area and established her catering company, Pretty and Delicious, LLC, where she serves as owner and CEO. Chef Huda works by her motto: “It [food] should appeal to people’s sense of sight, smell and taste.” She believes, “Not only should food taste good, food should be ‘Pretty and Delicious’ at all times.” Chef Huda further drives her culinary point of view by bringing elegance back to the kitchen via her Marilyn Monroe style by cooking in designer heels and fashionable garments as homage to stay-at-home mothers from the 1950s era. 
Chef Huda attributes her rise in the culinary industry to her strive for perfection, people and fantastic food. Given her multicultural background, Chef Huda incorporates flavors from around the world into her cooking. Indian, French, Soul, Asian, American, Southern American, and Spanish cuisine all inspire her diverse and flavorful menus.
Chef Huda’s delicious culinary creations have received national rave reviews from Hollywood celebrities to Congressional representatives. Her cuisine was featured on “Donald J. Trump Presents: The Ultimate Merger” and “The Howard Stern Show “where it was well received. Most recently, Chef Huda has been featured at the March of Dimes Signature Chef event, The Washington Informer, 2010 WBLS Circle of Sisters Expo, and NBC-4 2010 Health & Fitness Expo. Chef Huda has also served as Culinary Consultant at Proud Mary Restaurant in Fort Washington, MD where her delicious weekly specials have been featured.
