Chef Zipora To contact Zipora: Phone: 480-342-8319  Email: chefzipora@yahoo.com Those of you who joined us for our July 31 Mansion party and raved about the food are no doubt ecstatic to find Chef Zipora as this weeks Special Guest. Chef Zipora arrived in the USA from her native Israel 23 years ago and settled in Scottsdale where she became the Executive Chef at The Carefree Spa for two years. She then spent her next 16 years catering to top executives and dignitaries in the Scottsdale/Phoenix area. In 1997 Zipora, seeking growth and adventure, moved to Los Angeles where on her second day in town she landed her first client, Bob Hope. Since that time she has served as private Chef for such celebrities as Pierce Bronsnan, Sybill Shepherd, Aaron Spelling, Paul Anka, and many others. Zipora has traveled the world cooking for the rich and famous. While doing so she has cooked along side many of the worlds greatest Chefs in their famous restaurants and learned new food cultures and techniques. For example, while in Paris at the Hotel Ritz she cooked beside Maurice Guillot in his Five Star kitchen. She has lived in the South of France, Ireland and Germany and traveled to China, Japan, Singapore, and throughout most of Europe. In 2000, when Mariah Carey started her Rainbow World Tour, she knew she needed a chef who would keep her body slim, sexy, and energetic during her grueling world tour. She new she needed someone who knew her way around the fresh food markets of the world. She knew she needed Chef Zipora and hired her. Following the World Tour, Zipora returned to the U.S. and joined the musician Seal and his team who were producing a new C.D. Her sensitivity to their particular needs enabled her to leave a lasting impression, one which they say, has remained unsurpassed. Having worked with high profile celebrities that must keep themselves looking and feeling their best Zipora has mastered the art of healthy cooking. She has also moved back and settled in Scottsdale where her son resides. Zipora has developed a few programs available to you. One is her Dinner Plan where three days a week she delivers a multi-course meal(s) prepared in her own kitchen. Another is Dinner Entertainment where she comes to your home to cook and serve dinner for you and/or your guests. Finally, Zipora's Total Health Program designed for those who want to be fit and healthy. This program involves three health experts that work individually with you. After evaluation of your body needs and goals, Zipora will design and cook three to five specially prepared meals every day seven days a week and delivery them. In addition, a personal fitness trainer will evaluate and design a personal fitness program and work with you one hour per day three times a week. Finally, a Message Therapist will provide an Aroma Therapy Message for an hour and a half each week. Clients involved in her Total Health Program have achieved amazing results in as little as three months. It is with great pleasure that Chef Zipora, Chef to the Stars, will be my own Special Guest.
