Let me start by introducing myself and giving you a glimpse into my culinary world.
My name is Said Saliba.
I’m a passionate and innovative culinary professional dedicated to bringing a diverse and enticing array of global flavors to the table. With a deep commitment to creating memorable dining experiences, I draw inspiration from international cuisines to elevate every dish and every kitchen I step into. My goal is to use my expertise in flavor profiling, creativity, and cultural culinary fusion to take your culinary journey to the next level.
Flavor and taste are at the heart of everything I do—but plating and presentation matter just as much. I strive to serve not only delicious meals made with fresh, high-quality ingredients, but also beautifully plated dishes that delight both the palate and the eyes. The goal is always to exceed expectations and satisfy your most gourmet dreams.
A little about my journey: I proudly placed second in the semi-finals of Carla Hall’s Favorite Chef competition, a recognition that reinforced my culinary path. I also host my own cooking segment, “Delectables with Said,” which airs every Saturday on NBC Palm Springs, where I share globally inspired dishes and innovative plating ideas.
And as for my originality—yes, she is my inspiration. That little voice, that early spark, came from none other than my mother. She’s the one who awakened the chef within me. They say moms have a special magic when it comes to their homes and families—and mine is no exception. She is truly a gift, and her love for food and tradition continues to guide my creativity in the kitchen.

Marzipan Balls or "مرصبان", a recipe known years ago among the Catholic nuns in Lebanon, passed down in my family for generations until it was my turn to get it from my mom. But I added my own touch by making it a combination of the original recipe but filled with pistachio.
Growing up seeing my mom making marzipan on special occasions, like weddings, baptism, graduation... and it is also a perfect choice for a housewarming gift.

Cooking is an art, and SaiSation’s creative presentation will transform your event into a masterpiece. Whether you prefer a basic 3-course meal, a walking buffet, or even a 7-course tasting menu, the plate will be the canvas for the feast of your dreams.
An Arabian night experience that will take you on a magic carpet ride.
