Serving Northern Florida

Meet the Chef

Welcome to Temptation Creations! My name is Chef Sarmita Durham. My love, passion, and experience in cooking began at an early age. Growing up as the middle child, I stayed in the kitchen with my mother while she cooked and baked the family meals, many of which were from scratch. As a result of being my mother’s helper, I developed a love for cooking. Eventually, I ended up being the family cook when my mother transitioned her work schedule to evening shifts.

My Story

I have over 25 years of experience in cooking, not only for my family but also large groups of up to 125 people. I am proficient in a variety of cooking techniques and cuisines.

My goal at Temptation Creations is to provide a customized menu for our clients that’s in balance with their eating habits and lifestyle. In today’s society, people are choosing to share milestones in the comfort of their home/private setting and having quality meals served in home.
